    That was fkin' awesome! Eric is so underrated. I used to go to his tiny bar in the East Village and hear his trio. Blew my head off. His guitar tone is unbelievably great!

    Roscoe was killer with Steve Earle back in 2003/4; saw a good few of those shows here in Scotland. Loved this whole interview. Great Neil stories.
    Thanks, Mr Ambel. Still have copy of Jerusalem you signed for me on the stairs right inside the Barrowlands in Glasgow '03. Keep on rockin'.

    Eric Ambel is a new name and face to me. Although he has hung out with many famous people, business man, sought after guitar player, sound man tech - so many different things, yet he’s not a stuffed shirt at all. I really admire him.

    I met Rosco at a Yahoos show in Atlanta in '96 - and got a "Roscoe" guitar pick from a light/sound guy at the Variety Playhouse in ATL in '00 or '01 (Steve Earle show). These stories are amazing. There needs to be a "Degrees of Roscoe". game

    Roscoe is a cool dude. My band opened a couple of shows for him a few years back. We also played his bar, The Lakeside Lounge. Best jukebox in the city. Wish it was still there...

    I just saw Mike Campbell’s Dirty Knobs last month and that joy is still there! He was playing an early 60’s ‘Bird, broke a string, and yep - his tech was on-the-spot with an identical ‘Bird to finish the tune. Sounds like a trip to the Heartbreakers’ old clubhouse is in order on your next California trip. And I selfishly want to catch one of your shows along the way.

    There's more to the whizzer than turning the amp up and down because the volume controls on a tweed Deluxe are interactive so that when you turn the volume control on the channel you aren't plugged into it affects the tone and breakup of the channel you are plugged into. Different combinations create different sounds, different levels of breakup. I think I read the whizzer has four presets, probably all loud.

    I don't mean to sound uppity, but I'm pretty darn sure that "Hank" is Hank Williams' "1941 Martin D-28", that Neil got from Tut Taylor, with the assistance of Grant Boatwright, and NOT a D-45!
    Neil plays Hank all the time in his Solo shows. He played Hank on last Springs/ Summers West Coast Solo Tour of '23.
    Neil's very own D-45 is from 1968, that was "gifted to him" by Stephen Stills, who also bought D-45s for Croz and Nash at the same time, as well.
    However, the most well-known history of "Hank", it's MOST DEFINITELY a 1941 "D-28".
    Anyway, Eric may just have mixed his numbers up in this great story you taped with Eric. Thanks, Otis!
