e pluribus unum. I had a long controversy with one of my friends from college about whether musicians, on average were uglier than actors. My position was that musicians were uglier. I think that's true. Don't you? I mean really, if you have musical talent you can look like kermit the frog and still be famous, but as an actor you'd only get frog roles, right? If you had a hunchback, there would be only one role for you, unless someone wrote another one. Musicians can have hunchbacks, but if they can play Litzt flawlessly...well there you go! Contrarily, I think people are skeptical of good looking musicians. I've found that out the hard way.

I dunno, it depends what country you're talking about. I would say that looks are more important in the US than they are in the UK, for instance. Look at British soap operas, half the actors have faces like a plumber's tool bag. Whereas in the States you wouldn't even be considered for a part unless you're cosmetic surgery'd from the eyeballs down. Same with news anchors and the like. As for musicians, well that depends on the genre. You're not going to get into a boy band with a face like a blind cobbler's thumb. Whereas the likes of Justin Bieber would not work in a band like Venom.

Boy bands have had an awfully long run. That's why I like country music, it seems to be less influenced by (w)hor(e)mones. And it's true, those cowboys are not not good looking (neither are the cowgirls). But I meant on average. There are very few ugly actors that are famous, but there are plenty of musicians. PLENTY. Anyways I have to start acting my age I'm afraid. I guess I need to be less judgy. :D:D

I found this list of "ugly actors" on IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls007364212/ I dunno though, to me they're not especially ugly, they just have loads of character in their faces. Except Michael Moore.

So many choices! Not sure which direction I want to go in today! I still haven't had that Larry Coryell day, and I need to have some time of metal day soon (maybe something different like Lacrimosa?). Now Glyn's got me thinking about some Mostly Autumn and Panic Room (possibly followed by some Big Big Train)... Decisions, decisions!

How about a Bill Nelson month? Look how many solo albums he has, and this list only goes back to 1998!! http://www.billnelson.com/html/salon/index.php

Good idea. I've got albums from him ranging from 1971 to 2011. He's "only" released 31 albums since then... How do you even remember the album names let alone the song names or how to actually play each???!

Ok, I'm starting in 1971 and going through 1981 (so, five albums since I'm not including any BeBop Deluxe for now).
Forgot how good even his oldest stuff was!

I'm 'friends' with BN on Facebook. He's an affable chap, but you can tell he gets a bit irked when people constantly bang on about 'Ships In The Night' and Maid In Heaven' etc, given the vast catalogue of music he's recorded since BBD

He's averaging about SIX albums a year right now! So, every two months, he finishes one. Wow... How does he even have time for Facebook???
No idea if the quality of the last five years is any good; I have listened to any past 2011 yet.

Been listening to samples of his last 2 albums this evening, really nice stuff, beautifully produced (all analog/hardware in his studio apparently) His voice isn't what it was, but his guitar playing and ear for melody is intact.

Nice. I'm going to wait until I work my way to the newer stuff I have before checking those out. The growth progression is kind of interesting. I guess he's never had writer's block, eh? Damn...

No kidding! What's making it tough for me is that I'm also trying to learn a lot of new things using video tutorials so the music gets paused for those then, when I'm back to doing some work or taking a break, the music is back on.

I like listening to Tal Farlow. I've never *understood* his playing. It's radically foreign to me, so I can relax and enjoy it for what it is. Now, I don't understand Joe Pass much either, but for some reason he makes me up tight. Joe Pass is like noodle, noodle, blues scale, noodle, noodle. no? Tal Farlow is at least understandable if I HAD to think about it ex post facto. Never theless they both are/were very unique. Larry Coryell is kinda poly anna for me.

I like what Larry Coryell plays but I was never a big fan of his tone. It always sounded to me like he used light gauge strings - I have no idea what gauge he used but that's the impression I got from his sound. For anything jazz related I like a nice fat, meaty tone. I think one of my favorite jazz guitarists has to be Jim Hall. I wore out two copies of The Train And The River on tape years ago through listening to them obsessively. Love his playing on that.

This is another of my all time favorite jazz guitar pieces - Kay's Fantasy by George Van Eps, the absolute master of jazz guitar chord-melody style. This guy's playing was almost inhuman.

All my fave jazz guitarists are coming back to me now....Teddy Bunn was another one, very underrated. His solo on this is foot stompin' brilliant. He had an unmatched feel.
