Sadly, this is not mine. A good friend of mine has let me borrow it for some recording and I used it on a local TV show the other night. It's a '73 or thereabouts with the toaster pickups and the checkerboard binding. Plays and sounds great. I wish he'd sell it to me, but I doubt I could afford it if he did. Corin Ashley plays "Badfinger Bridge" on The Steve Katsos Show - YouTube!

Seriously, there is a link to Corin's web site from YouTube, and from there a link to iTunes.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: Boston, MA | | Thanks for the kind comments. It's pretty hard to count on a great audio mix on a local TV show, but I think they did a fairly good job in the 15 minutes we had to soundcheck. I was playing through my Trace Elliot V6 and an Ashdown 15 (under the Wurli player's bum).
There's a studio diary from Abbey Road and some session video at www.corinashley.com

I get goosebumps imagining how cool that must have been. Studio 2.
Hopefully. Corin can regale us with some additional stories. For a Beatles fan, let alone a musician, that had to be like a visit to Mecca.

Live show sounded good, but the studio stuff is out of this world!

Those were some lucky people in the front row couch section.

That's the kind of thing we don't hear so much of anymore--skillfully crafted tunes with real dynamic and human feeling. Your band is great. Seriously, nice playing and singing and everything, but that song bowled me over.
I know from years of trying (and failing) that putting together a catchy pop song that manages to sound fresh or convey a mood is far trickier than good writers like yourself make it seem.
You know you've done good when you uncork one and it sounds kind of timeless like that. That song could have been written 40 years ago, but it could also come out 10 years from now and still sound as good and fresh. Seriously nice work. Love your band.
