I gotta say, and I know it may not be popular here, but David Lindley is a musical genius. I'm not saying that I'm anything special, but I took lessons when I was a kid for years and only played in E major, I've also played acoustic and electric for 40 of my 52 years and I'm telling you that Mr. Dave is a bad ass.
I have better luck playing with the Jackson Browne stuff in C6. Is it just me or does the C6 tunning lend it's self toward blues leaning stuff. The older I get the more I discover that I just play blues.
Hows that for hijacking a thread? Sorry, its Friday night. |

| Wow, great stuff, and what a treasure trove that site is. I'm about to check out the James Taylor/Joni Mitchell set from 1970. Used to have that and a number of the other shows on this site on tape. Thanks Brad! |

Wow, the Main Point! I forgot about that place and some of the great acts my friends and I saw and heard there. I still enjoy listening to the music of the late '60s and early '70s. There was just somehting special about the "music" being made in those years, at least for me 
p.s. Medley Music was just down the street from the Point. Altough it survived decades after the original Point closed, that's closed now too. |

I remember listening to that broadcast as it happened. My musical background up to that time considered "lap guitar" to be a dead instrument. These performances awakened me to the potential directions open to explore.
Styles aside, the importance of hearing someone playing a different instrument in a new context is inspiring, as it was to me at that time.
The fact that at that time most Hawaiian guitars were yard sale bait and less money than a set of power tubes for a Fender amp it was easy to get hooked.
I still am.

| Musically, i grew up at the Main Point. When I was in High school I played on their stage for open mike on sundays (my first time playing anywhere) and saw not only Jackson Brown, but Dave Van Ronk, Jerry Jeff Walker, Leo Kottke, Rambling Jack Elliot, Steve Goodman, Chris Smither, Bonnie Rait, and so many other people there. What a great club that was and since it didn't serve alcohol, a place I and my friends could get into. |

Brad - Nice find - Being the novice I am and checking out David Lindleys website and some youtube stuff of his acoustic lap playing just makes me want to practice even more - It's also good to know that not everyone feels as though you need to have unlimited effects and play a thousand notes in less than 10 seconds to make good music - Just my 2 notes worth - I'm just a little sad  I han't "discovered" some of these guys when I was younger - DB |

WMMR in philly used to do this live broadcasts from the Main Point. I learned a lot of licks by recording the broadcasts and playing them back. I learned most of Chris Smither's tunes that way. I had a recording of a live Jackson Brown/David Lindley concert from the Main Point. It might have been this one, although I think it was from a year or so earlier. They played a couple night and I saw one and the next night they did the live broadcast. I remember Lindley doing a Blind Samurai imitation, which of course was useless on the radio.  |
