Ebbons Keyboard??

Post by Larry Strawn »

Maybe I should post this in Humore!!

Once more the classic question, but this time by the agent who booked us into this gig. [must not have read my promo to well] lol..

After the show he walks up and says "Man I really love that keyboard, that's an Ebbons, right???" Duuhhh,,,

Ebbons guitars usually sound pretty good with an Ebans amplifier.

Well, every one know eboney Ebbons sound best, but I don't have an Ebans amp, maybe I need one. lol..

Seriously though, I was very polite and explained to him it was a steel guitar, when he told me "you're the first Country band I've ever booked",,, I firmly planted both feet in the ground and dug in!! Explaining to him "Country" is NOT the only place you'll hear steel guitar!! Since this agent frequently books bands in the casinos in Laughlin Nv. I explained to him to listen more carefully, and pay more attention to bands promos, he may just find some steel guitars in other types of bands!!

Hopefully some education concerning steel guitar..

Let's all remember that Christmas is comong and we should all be generous and not act like Ebbonseezer Scrooge.

Otherwise we might not go to Ebbon when we die.

It's too bad Gibbons and Fumbar stopped making electric tables and only make six-strings anymore - there's nothing like that old Fumbar tone, except maybe a Grateful Dead concert.
