Gone with the wind?

Have to say, the clips on the new website of Kevin Van Sant (who I've admired for several years) sound pretty damn good!

For years I thought he was bald. But actually, I’d say he’s doing better than me up top.

Agreed. Kevin is a great player and all around good person. Enjoyed working with him.

I haven't seen enough evidence to convince me that it's really his hair, nor to say it isn't. Toupees are getting pretty sophisticated these days, and a certain blonde one is seen all too often.

Are you referring to Hans Groiner? I'm told that that is his real hair. But I'm not sure about his accent... sounds more Bavarian than Austrian to me.

Getting us back on track... Here's a few more photos from the tour.

Hi all. Here's a clip from the Portugal performance seen in the photos just above. Kurt Rosenwinkel playing the Soloway S14 - just posted on YouTube:

Must be extremely rewarding to have your guitar played by Kurt!

Did not know Kurt was a lefty playing right-handed (assumption due to the watch)?

Yes, it is quite rewarding, and even more so to have him be so genuinely excited about it. He had said he wanted to try one out, so I met him at the Alternative Guitar Summit. He played it quietly and alone for about 30 minutes, and then said "Chris, this is magic. I want to take this on tour with me." Kinda made my day.

Nice little E 7 blues shuffle:

Well, I woke up this morning,
And what did I see,
On my Facebook page,
Staring back at me…

It was Kurt Rosenwinkel,
He was starting to play,
Making beautiful sounds on his…
[2 beat pause]
Soloway…

[A7]
It wasn’t a Gibson,
Wa’n’t a Guild,

[E7]
Or a Gretsch,
Or Iban-ayyy

[B7]
He was burning the frets,

[A7]
In his brilliant way,

[E7]
Playing like a mofo on his…
[2 beat pause]
Soloway…

[BB King blues solo here…]

[Doctor Jeff]

Not kidding…opened Facebook, and those little short videos (Stories) came up at the top of my screen, and there was Kurt with the Soloway.

I think everyone who follows Kurt is going to want to know what guitar that is. Beautiful guitar.

And I’m sorry I can’t find the video or link to it now, but I swear it happened.

No hat. I am weirded out just a little.

But I really, really like the tone he's getting more than I usually did before.
