Hi Steve!

[Calabasas_Trafalgar]

Zaragon(and a few other handles)hasn't been seen here in years. He was arrogant as hell, but knew his stuff.

He somehow got his made-up genre Zolo in the list of actual genres there!

[NogbadTheBad]

Damn, what the hell is zolo?

There are even people who are banned for their assholiness and then come back as Dr. Jekyll and contribute extensively and well.

Nestor to Facelift comes to mind.

is this a scoop, or am I the only one not knowing about this??

I kind of always liked Nestor

Likewise with Stilleben... did he change username with the shift o PE3.0??

Stilleben is Scrotum Scissor. Are you the only one who didn't know that?

What a howl. I'm surprised PA hasn't made him a god.

No scoop- been known for years. I can't remember having clashed with either persona myself, but he has been involved in several arguments here.

I seem to have clashed with some of the newer influx (some who left/were booted off Prog Archives, apparently) more than long-time members. But not particularly serious clashes.

I kinda like Facelift but found Nestor annoying.

[Mr. Toad]

I wonder if Silver Shoes is still hanging around here.

[Jerjo]

He's here but now under the moniker GuitarGeek

How does anyone know who anybody else was?

I believe some posted their new user names when this new board version started

I tend to agree

Actually, I have a friend who insists that if the Robert Johnson recording those songs at the speed that we've always heard them at, he'd be doing stuff that would be virtually impossible, like barring at like the 14th or 16th fret, which would be physically impossible on a conventional, non cutaway guitar, unless we're to believe he'd slide the guitar down on his lap, like a Hawaiian guitar, and do it, then slide the guitar back up into regular, "Spanish" style playign position.

Oh and this friend me plays guitar, banjo, is well versed in acoustic guitar styles, having explored players like Leo Kottke and John Fahey, and apparently pissed off a lot of Pere Ubu people when he made it known that Jim Jones' "secret" guitar tuning was in fact plain old open E. So I think my friend Derek probably knows what he's talking about, when he suggests that the Johnson recordings should be pitched a step or two lower than they Columbia has been presenting them to us.

Also, keep in mind that varispeeding recordings has happened on lots of other occasions. Teo Macero sped up side two of Kind Of Blue (when CBS put out the remastered edition, they presented the two pieces at their "correct speed" saying that they were sped up due to a "mastering error", but Teo always insisted he did it on purpose). Chuck Berry claimed Leonard Chess sped up his recordings, to make his singing voice sound like that of a teenager (there's at least one compilation that has a couple songs on it that seems to back up this statement). And I believe Tom Dowd admitted he sped up some of the tracks on Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs, just because he thought they had a little better vibe at a slightly faster tempo (basically, same argument used by Teo Macero).

So it's not beyond the realm of possibility that whichever reissue producer at Columbia, back in the 60's, was thinking, "These tracks will sound better if we sped them up just a bit".

YEP! That's the guy.

[Hal...]

Anyone remember a guy by the name of Software King?

I like(d) both, even if we do occasionally clash. We're both adults, it happens.

A combination of memory and recognition of character traits/posting style.

Any looong post that starts with "Actually..."
