Another day of slow amp

17.06
Another day of slow & steady, incremental acquisition of motor memory on the pieces. Plus fine tuning programmes. Pat is working with Bill Munyon on the other side of the wall: the tech is his rig is alarming.

< -- other bands/artists that feature the ebow in action include Big Country and David Bowie (its how the main guitar sound is generated in "Heroes", both studio and most live versions i've seen...)>

I have never used an e-bow professionally, and almost never otherwise. Chris Stein (of Blondie) gave me one c.1978 when we were chums in NYC. But "Heroes" was simply a Les Paul, Marshall cabinet and a way of working.

Pat & Bill are finding myriad problems of which they were formerly unaware. Progress.
