My band Go Van Gogh was asked to do a last minute performance at last Saturday's KALW broadcast of West Coast Live. Below are the three songs we did.

I'm playing a 2001 National Style 1.5 tricone with a Lace UltraSlim pickup through a Fishman Loudbox Mini, using open G tuning.

Cuckoo Clock

Swimming In The East River

Sirens

Brad! Very cool. Especially liked your tasty chorus on Sirens, both sound and substance. Thanks for sharing. Jim

Hi Brad,

Very nice! What a great band. Sax and steel are hard to beat!

And thanks for all you do for the Forum.

Best,

Bob

I agree, but I have to point out that Van Gogh was a Dutchman, and his name is pronounced "Van Goff", not "Van Go". (It rhymes with "Cough".) Embarassed

Ja, ik versta. Uitstekend.

I didn't know how to write it phœnetically so that an English speaker could pronounce it accurately. The gh is like the ch in Scottish loch, and, in Dutch/Flemish, Gs at the start of words have mutated into a kind of hard H, so Goeden Morgan has come to be pronounced Hooi Morghun.
Oh Well
...but it ain't Van Go. Very Happy
