Hi friends - In the Guitar Player Magazine Holiday issue my Vinyl Treasures column features the LP "Country Guitar" (Various Artists) that includes the great Thumbs Carlisle, Jimmy Capps, Billy Byrd, Hardrock Gunter... Read it here... https://www.guitarplayer.com/players/vinyl-treasures-various-artists-country-guitar   I’ve heard it’s fashionable to be critical of Ringo Starr's drumming. I find this astonishing- it’s like someone telling me “cockroaches are cuter then kittens”. Say what?
Ringo is one the greatest rock drummers in music history. He played compositionally and cleverly while he prioritized the song… and he was always swinging hard. His contributions on “Tomorrow Never Knows”, “Maxwell's Silver Hammer”, “Happiness Is A Warm Gun”, “Polythene Pam” , “Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey”, “Fixing A Hole”, “Come Together”, “Hey Bulldog”, “Paperback Writer”, “Good Morning, Good Morning” are obvious examples of his humble genius … and I’m leaving dozens of other examples off my list. Feel free to add your own … I love the Beatles!

   Paul Yandell, Second to the Best: A Sideman's Chronicle Compiled from interviews, social media posts and quotes from friends and family - anecdotes and in-depth stories are frequent and there is info for the Bigsby/Gretsch guitar nerd too. Paul and Chet were the real deal and it's inspiring to see how high Paul & Co. raised the bar- and Paul certainly doesn’t glamorize the music business. He’s never bitter, he’s a well-informed, straight shooter with an insiders viepwoint. A must read for any Chet Atkins fan...
Jude Gold and I talk music on "No Guitar is Safe" ... https-//player.fm/series/no-guitar-is-safe/episode-79-jim-campilongo  I’ll be on “Sagebrush Boogie” Thursday Sept 27 at 8:15 on WRFG 89.3 FM Atlanta with David Chamberlain. Spinning records via phone, talking music and such ... Dave's show is about the best radio program I’ve ever heard. It's always an honor. https://wrfg.org/
