Bummer, forgot how to embed video.


I'm out of the Biz for a while till I get over my burnout. You can try HarveyHarp or arzajac, or just look the page nacoran put together under Forum Search.

Hey Mark, really good - both singing and playing. I love that song - wish I could get my band to play it.

Very nice. Looks like a custom Twin Twelve behind you there. Is the circuit stock or modded? Sweet... BN

PS, Love the band name. "The Enablers" (:>)

I loved the laid back feel.
Is that a d4t mic you are using?

Thanks orphan and everyone! That is a Kalamazoo Model One. 5 watts driving 2X12 alnico speakers I found in on a sidewalk the rain. Cab was falling apart. The brains were put in a head modeled after the Matchless heads of 20+years ago. A guy named Ellis Bourboneax built the amp and I got it from Kevin Coleman. It shouldn't work but it does and is warmer than a stock Model One or Two. Works v. nice w/ a crystal or CR element. Prento/Mark Good name! I'm a Mark too. I use Astatic Biscuit mics only. I used to use JT-30s for years and a lot of other mics. I just prefer the size and feel of the Biscuits. They disappear in your hands for a nice cup and are great for chromatic harps. Cheers, Mark

It's not fair that you can play like that AND still have that much hair. I had to sell mine down at the crossroads and all I got for it was a squeaky overblow and a warble that doesn't make my lips bleed anymore. (That second part might also have something to do with giving up salted popcorn).

Popcorn w/out salt?! I hope there is butter on it.

Oops Prento! I'm not using a Biscuit. I'm using Kevin Cs Mic. It's an EV chop w/ a new grille, CR, and a VC. I think G. Heumann made the grille. It's a one of a kind. I've never seen anything even close to this mic. I think it's called a Spherex, but that might be a Shure mic.

I wasn't sure. I have an American D4T - some refer to it as a salt shaker, and from the video it looked a bit like mine.

Prento, I can see the salt shaker look from the grille Kevin C. asked Heumann to make for him. Originally the mic was a complete sphere w/ half the sphere chrome and half being an easily dented screen. They came w/ really nice Brush Development Co. crystal elements. Two of my fav crystals came out of these EV mics. Anyway, Gregg has made several replacement grilles for Kevin's EVs. He may have put in VCs too. I'm not sure. Could have been Kevin. Anyway, these mics are about the size of Astatic Biscuits.

MP, kettle corn. I've always had more of a sweet tooth than a salt tooth anyway.
