bass. One is not better than the other, but they cover two sides of a spectrum ..READMORE..

Mary Pastorius - Letter For Daddy (Jaco)
daddy, just daddy to me
by Mary Pastorius
The following was written for and excerpted from the
upcoming Holiday Park Records 2-CD release "Portrait of Jaco... The Early
Years" companion booklet and was written by Mary, Jaco's first born, back
in 1994.
daddy, just daddy to me.
It's difficult for me to write this. I've been
procrastinating, despite how much I know I need to do this. You see, the words
I am gearing up to write, speak of the most painful events in my life. My
initial reaction, when I was approached to write a bit about my father, was
enthusiastic. I felt strong and eager to have my reality, my truths,
circulating out there alongside the
misconceptions and miscellaneous bullshit that have been in existence long before my dad
actually died. There are things that need to be said, and I'm not hearing
anyone saying them. There are things that I've wanted to scream, but I haven't;
so, I felt obligated, and happily so, to write this piece. I hear a lot of
"Jaco" stories. Pastorius isn't a common name, so when my surname is
made available, cashing a check or using my library card, there is a chance that I'm going to hear a
"Jaco" story..READ MORE.....

Deep Purple's Jon Lord dies at 71
Jon Lord, the former keyboard player with heavy rock band Deep Purple, has died aged 71.
Lord co-founded Deep Purple in 1968 and co-wrote many of the group's songs including Smoke On The Water. He also played with bands including Whitesnake.
He had been receiving treatment for pancreatic cancer since last August.
He died at the London Clinic on Monday, surrounded by family, a statement said. "Jon passes from Darkness to Light," it added.
Lord was influenced by classical, blues and jazz but played his Hammond organ with a rock attitude and helped Deep Purple become pioneers of progressive and heavy rock.
Tributes have been paid by musicians including one-time Deep Purple bandmate Joe Satriani, Iron Maiden and Anthrax.
Ex-Rage Against the Machine star Tom Morello wrote on Twitter: "RIP the great Jon Lord, Deep Purple's cornerstone/keyboardist. So many great great songs and that incredible SOUND of his! Thankyou."
Former Yes keyboard player Rick Wakeman was a friend and said he was "a great fan".

The History of AMPEG AMPS
1969 was a year giants rocked the earth, and they wanted big amps. By that point in history, rock music was the baddest man in the whole damn town. Stadiums and outdoor festivals was where the action was—Madison Square Garden for chrissakes. Fifty watts just wasn't enough to move that chick in the 61st row in her hand-embroidered bellbottoms. It wasn't as if nobody was filling the void—witness the stacks of Marshalls, mountains of Hiwatts, and truckloads of Dual Showmans doing more to promote tinnitus in a single generation since WWII.READ MORE...

The Kitara is a keytar for the iPhone generation
[No Strings Attached- The Guitar with a touchscreen]
The Eighties revival now appears to have lasted longer than the actual Eighties did, and it shows no signs of letting up.
No instrument is more evocative of the dry-ice-clouded synth anthems of the decade than the 'keytar' - a keyboard shaped like a guitar, usually paired with an extremely large hairdo and outfits made of synthetic fabrics.
The Kitara is a keytar for the iPhone generation: combining a multi-touch touchscreen, a fretboard and a fully fledged synthesizer, it enables you to assign 100 different sounds to its virtual 'strings'.
If you'd handed one of these to Duran Duran back in the day, it would probably have caused a guitar solo that would still be going on now.
The Kitara's 8in touchscreen can be 'played' with the same delicacy you'd use with a normal guitar (just touch the relevant part of the screen to pluck, or stroke it to strum), but unlike on a 'real' stringed instrument, you can make the volume of a note rise or fall - as well as apply sustain, delay and distortion effects by sliding your finger around.
Early reaction to demos has been good; expect the Kitara, at the very least, to cause a rise in demand for hairspray... READ MORE (Mail Online)
