Here are some pictures from June 8, 2005 at Layla’s Bluegrass Inn, Jen Jones & The Cameros,
featuring Rich Gilbert and Steve Latanation. I may have a few more, but I think these are my favorites.

(No review, too hungover and too much shit to do at work, and, Joshua wasn’t there…)

Hey Guitar Man, Carl, and all you other guitar aficionados, this is what I was telling you about earlier,
Rich playing above the frets, up by the tuning keys on his Fender!




The Duke discussing pickups on his '57 Fender Double A Neck
(?, I think I got this name correct, I'll look it up later)



The Duke of Fender's reaction when CoffeeCan asked if The Duke could teach
CoffeeCan some power chords on his '57




Proud Papa!

Precisely.




I'm pretty sure I crapped my pants.... Yep.

Sound's dangerous!

Pushing on the strings behind the nut is a cool way to change or "bend" the pitch, too. That's how Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) does the intro to Iron Man.

Aw-ight...The Duke of Fender has returned home to Guitar Town and tonight
JBW, Rich, Steve, and Scott will be playing a Honky-Tonk Christmas Show down
at Layla's Bluegrass Inn...

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT...

Oh yeah, also check page 2 here for the "Rich Gilbert Chat". That was great. He was very generous with his time and he gave us genuine and interesting responses to all of our questions. Very good read.
OldManInaCoffeeCan Posted - 06/14/2005 : 18:51:59
Yeah, bold99, I was aware of that. There is a good bio on Rich here at FB.net in the "Site, Band Bio" section. I see
from your link to the Tarbox Ramblers site that they are currently on tour.

So, are you a big fan of Rich Gilbert? I see from your profile that your from Massachusetts and I was wondering
if you've seen him play much over the years, what with him living in those parts for so long.

And, if you haven't already, check out some these threads here in this "General Frank Black Chat"
section for some good photos: "Rich & Joshua at the Mercy Lounge (page 1 here)", "Rich Gilbert at the Bluegrass Inn
(page 2 here)" and "Rich Gilbert Show Review Chat and Photos (page 2 here)"

But, hey, we got him now here in Guitar Town, and don't expect us to let him move
anytime soon.
He's a helluva addition to the music scene here!
bold99 Posted - 06/14/2005 : 18:36:44
Has Anyone Heard of the Tarbox Ramblers?, Rich Gilbert plays with them a lot, randomly saw his pix on this post... check them out....www.tarboxramblers.com.

[warning: bullshit bravado up ahead. Hey, if you can't have fun here, where then?]

My man Carl, a big appetite huh? You're not married, right? Ok, get this, the 10 dates I set
you up with are women you could take home to moma, then I'll get my brother, who is single,
to take you to some of his haunts for women you could take home to daddy!

Carl Posted - 06/14/2005 : 16:25:43
10?! Is that all? ;)
OldManInaCoffeeCan Posted - 06/14/2005 : 14:33:01
Hey scruvs, you got that right, this is Honky-tonk heaven and every night is a party down on Lower Broad, where "hollerin' and swallerin'" is encouraged!

And Carl, it really is hard to imagine all the beautiful women here in Nashville. They all strive to stand by, and take care of, their man. I can name you 10 women without thinking too hard that are single, pretty, self-sufficient, and here's the most important part, non-psychotic with no personality disorders. Of course, if you go out with them more than 3-4 times get ready to be asked about a commitment, which is not always a bad thing!

There is a rather diverse population of these worthy women who were either born here or migrated from small towns surrounding Nashville, or who have come here from around the States with aspirations of a music career. We also have international beauties from Central and South America, Asia and other exotic locations.

Yep, before Mrs. CoffeeCan and I got married, my dating experiences here in Nashville would most closely be analagous to dining, buffet style, at your favorite restaurant (translation of buffet style: chosing the tastiest culinary delights from a wide selection, as much and as often as your appetite is so inclined). [I may have included some hyperbole here, but not much!]

Anyway, let me know when you can visit and I'll hook you up with your first 10 dates.

Carl Posted - 06/14/2005 : 09:21:09
Seems like a lot of sexy ladies around there!
scruvs Posted - 06/13/2005 : 23:32:18
Looks like a party in Nashville on a Wednesday night. Sometime before I die, I'm going to have to walk down that street, grab a PBR at Layla's, and then stop in Tootsies for a holler.

Boy, you sure can holler.

Here are some more pictures from my night of Honky-tonkin on June 8, 2005 at Layla’s Bluegrass Inn
with Rich Gilbert & Steve Latanation playing with Jen Jones.

I left Steve Latanation out of the 1st postings of pictures, inadvertently, and so here he is
(and it’s an opportunity to show off Jen’s ass, umm, back)





The Rich & Steve Country-Jazz Duo






The Duke multi-tasking on his Fenders





Adrienne/Adrian (?) Layla’s Lovely Lass





All she wanted was some guitar lessons, any volunteers?




The street scene in front of World Famous’ Tootsie's Orchid Lounge (Layla’s is a few doors down)
Anybody up for a "holler" and a "swaller"!

Yeah, I've tried that before playing Monkey. (I think it's probably the Violins doing that, though.) Fugazi are a band that do some cool stuff like that.

You know nirvana (i'm sure you do)? you can hear these strings strummed clean then distorted at the beginning of 'Oh The Guilt'
beautiful sound. the distortion that is. i want, i want.

thanks for these pics (AGAIN!) rich. the fender is a gorgeous piece o' wood.
i'm so thankful we can keep track of the Duke through your photos and words.
keep them coming, please.
OldManInaCoffeeCan Posted - 06/10/2005 : 21:45:56
Behind the bridge and behind the nut...Now that's what I'm talking about, here at FB.net, learn something new everyday.

Thanks Carl!
Carl Posted - 06/10/2005 : 21:21:13
Behind the bridge is the other end. Also a nice pingly effect. :)
OldManInaCoffeeCan Posted - 06/10/2005 : 21:01:28
Plucking those strings behind the nut! Now that's one helluva term...I would imagine, not being a guitar man myself Carl,
that plucking those strings behind the nut must give you a feeling similar to getting a nut...
musically speaking of course.
Carl Posted - 06/10/2005 : 20:02:23
Great pictures, very intimate! Yeah, you get a lovely sound plucking those strings behind the nut!

No frills, good music, cold beer and good conversation - what more do you need?
OldManInaCoffeeCan Posted - 06/10/2005 : 16:03:22
Kathryn, I never noticed Rich's jeans, I couldn't keep my eyes off his Fenders and fingers!

Yeah, Rosa, Layla's is exactly what it appears to be, a genuine, no-frills, honky-tonk. Check out the pictures
on the wall behind Rich when he's sitting at the table, the room is old and shot-gun style (about 15 feet wide and 60 feet long,
straight back to an alley next to the Ryman Auditorium (Grand Ole Opry)). And most of bands that play there are
genuine musicians, devoted and addicted to their craft, and, yes they are paying their dues, but most are happy
to be doing it. It's like Rich said after The Mercy Lounge show, "You¹ve got to walk a little
before you can run, and most of the time it's still better than real life."

Missed Joshua that night, he wasn't there, but I was able to sit and talk with Rich and Steve
after the show for a long time. Great guys, with a whole lot of Rock and Roll between
the two of them, and great conversations about anything you want to discuss,
well, anything I wanted to discuss (I won't speak for you Rosa).
Surfer Rosa Posted - 06/10/2005 : 00:33:29
Thank you Oldman. Layla's Bluegrass Inn is a definite stop next time I'm over on your side of the Atlantic.
kathryn Posted - 06/09/2005 : 19:25:46
Great pics, great jeans on Rich. Thanks for posting, OldMan. You're so generous.


I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics
