I'm sitting here watching "The Shadows: The Final Tour" over my morning coffee. No lasers or flashpots, no stompboxes, no posing or grimaces. Just a beautiful, clean celebration of melody and spring reverb. Matching pink Strats! 

Gregjazz: Why don't I have a Hank Marvin preset in Evolution Electric Guitar?

I have a Shadows play along CD that I sometimes practice with.


Fun times.

In one song I was sure they were using an ARP! (Not the synth, the pathetic lamo cheat favored by loser posers. Not that there's anything wrong with that.) But then the camera went to the keyboard player and guess what, he was actually playing those lightning-fast arpeggios. Like a real musician might in bygone days.

Oh no!
 
The Coffee House has discovered toe-tapping.
 
Heaven knows what will follow. 
 
Dancing vigorously 'til 10 pm?  Tardyness in the work-place?  Collar length hair?
 
No good can come of this, I need to be soothed by the simpering strings of Mantovani immediately.
 
Now that's what I call music.

You're equating The Shadows with elevator music? I suppose you're one of those "The Beatles are overrated" guys, too?

Yes but that Hank Marvin character is using a gadget fitted to his guitar called a tremolo arm.  A real musician would be altering pitch through his skill on the fretboard rather than cheating like that.
 
This isn't music it's a mindless din designed to engender rebellion and dis-satisfaction in the young!
 
Somehow we should be teaching out children proper moral values rather than allowing this unravelling of our entire social fabric happen in front of our very eyes.  These kids need some good old fashioned discipline like I had when I was a young age.  I used to regularly get thrashed with a cane to within an inch of my life and it never did me any harm.
 
That's why you'll never catch me strolling around in casual wear with my hands in my pocket, drinking Coca Cola from the bottle and back-chatting my parents with some big talk I learned from the Coffee Bar.

I always thought Zepplin was way over rated.

I caught some of that concert on you toob (The Shadows Final Tour). It's really good.

I've had some pretty good times on elevators.

I must admit my personal experience of them has been a bit up and down.
