I’d be the first to admit that the reason I enjoyed the music of Mahler, Shostakovich and Stravinsky as a kid when my dad played it at me (thanks dad!) was because it sounded a bit like John...

Can you call the music for J.Bond movies a genre?

This one is in the States; not sure if he'd ship international, but worth a try.

I wasn’t being entirely serious about the ‘cool kids’ bit. Of course I’m pointing out that the relationship between melody and harmony goes both ways. Tbh I think jazzers think about harmony...

Did Joe Pass NOT care much for his Ibanez JP20??

Thx a lot. I was thinking that too that even though I was dying on organ, focusing on rhythm with it for 3 years ended up helping piano. And then some idiosyncrasies work better too like you said.

Mr B program

Love it. Is that a Walnut back? I believe my Deluxe will be too.

I have not played a Deluxe, but own and play a '51 Soloist and have also owned an early '50s Royal and a Model 22. All were high-quality and good-sounding guitars. In my experience Levin archtops up...
