Another ES-175 Duet

[grahambop]

Yes I have that record, I think Dick knows it too. May have had some influence on the choice of tune!

I hope Gibson sees this video and realize the huge mistake they made discontinuing the 175. Stupid decision Gibson.

I would love to think we could be ‘youtube influencers’ on that scale, but I have my doubts!

I am inclined to think that Gibson does not give
two flying ducks, about what we all like , they're
only interested in mass production of the cheapest
to produce , and fast selling solids & slimlines.
Archtops are probably produced in a half hearted
manner to appease players willing to pay 11k to 15K
upfront and patiently wait two years for condescending
Gibson to furnish them with a pale shadow of yesteryear.s
I am ,by the way a Gibson owner my last new one was
a Crimson Custom shop (RIP ) L5 purchased in 2015.

Very musical rendition!

The bar for guitar duos on "How My Heart Sings" was set dauntingly high by the Jimmy & Doug Raney 4, with Billy Hart and with Michael Moore at his usual stratospherically-musical level. I burned this record out as a kid:

Thanks. The track you posted is the quintessential guitar take of "How My Heart Sings." Nobody is going to top that!

No doubt here. That entire CD is magical and classic ...

Great photo of Jimmy and Doug on the back of the LP:

To quote Benny Carter: "That sure sounds like mice peeing on cotton."

Well the new album cover is ready, even if nothing else is.
