For a few reasons, in particular a bad experience with a former member, I've had, little, or no input on these pages for quite a while. With the demise of Anonymous Pick I sort of thought that my attitude was just a bit selfish, whilst I have little real knowledge or experience to help advanced members , I realised that I may be able to assist newcomers in small ways, just as Pick and Ted did to me all those years ago. The loss of Pick hit me particularly hard, I'd only ever "talked" with him…See More

"Agree Unc, it is not exactly how I pictured him, but close, and as you say, it appears to be the face of a kind man, which I found him to be. My memories are only enhanced by this photo. I'm both happy to see the face, and saddened to find he…"

"R.I.P Pick, you are leaving a big hole to fill. Your generosity of spirit, help and advice to newcomers here at CBN was as good as it gets. I know I'll have a thought or 2 every time I pick up my Swampy for a twang. Deepest commiserations to…"

darryl kernaghan replied to Derek Sucharda's discussion Grounding: Is it necessary for all electric cigar boxes; piezzo vs "normal pickups'?

"It is generally a good practice whenever your guitar MIGHT have electrical components, it is very, very easy to have everything grounded generally, sometimes the strings take a bit of planning/ thought, but it definitely eliminates 1 source of…"

At 3:24am on February 14, 2017, Moritz Voegeli said…: P.S. Darryl hi, by chance I came across the comment you sent on August 5, 2016 to Phil Hale: «Just for a clarification...» See my posting «Ok Scott, let's speak about ethics and respect...» and the discussion that followed from December 31, 2016 in «joes flatpickup». Seems I'm alone to speak clear text with our friend: his best contribution to low impedance pickup design would be to shut up for a month and study a textbook about elementary electrotechnics. Or is this thread kind of electrotechnical kindergarden? Have a good day!

At 12:43am on February 14, 2017, Moritz Voegeli said…: Darryl hi, we have lost a lot of the early discussions because the license plate pickup thread has disappeared. SO SAD, TOTAL DISASTER!

At 4:19am on August 6, 2016, Philip Hale said…: I know exactly what you mean, I think a few people came to the same conclusion, including me.
Take Care

I only found CW Stoneking by accident last summer while looking at some "Blues" section in HMV Bristol ... which typically touts Joe Bonamassa stuff lol ! I was'nt on line apart from work so took a chance on buying all 3 cd's at once and wasn't let down . I was drawn in partly by the imagery and the fact the guy has a reclaimed valve amp called Kelvin ;-)

Sadly, today brings the passing of Phil Emmanuel, lesser recognised brother of Tommy, guitar virtuoso's both, although Phil never really played the guitar hero role, he was a stellar performer, and side man par excellence, Vale Phillip.
