JohnCovach Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Forget about me--does that green 555 look awesome or what?!! http://www.585mag.com/July-2013/Rock-scholar/#.UdMiLxx4Tro.twitter
Genericmusic Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Nice article John and very nice guitar. Congratulations on both.
kidsmoke Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Forget about me--does that green 555 look awesome or what?!! It sure does! that setting in the wood paneled library was perfect.
Yooper Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Never cared much for green guitars...but that green flame is beautiful. Now color me green with envy.
MartyGrass Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Beautiful guitar. I'll bet it sounds even better plugged in! I love the article and the serious study of popular music. It's truly important.
FredZepp Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Music classes for the masses.... indeed. As we look back on popular music influences and the evolution that connects them to our current musical environment, John is at the forefront of an organized study. And it's great to get a Heritage pic in there also.... Great work, as always.
Gitfiddler Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Excellent article, composition and topic. That H555 photo is amazing! Well done.
kidsmoke Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Good opportunity to freshen up the avatar...not that the existing one is any slouch
SouthpawGuy Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Good opportunity to freshen up the avatar...not that the existing one is any slouch Like this ? ....
TalismanRich Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Excellent article. I even went on to check out the Coursera course mentioned. I'll have to keep an eye out for when you start up the fall term. I'm a sucker for old rock and roll history, although it probably isn't history when you lived through it.
yoslate Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Valid research, taken seriously. The ticket, innit!? Good for you John! Your credibility as an academic and, certainly, as a musician, seems to be making some well-paved inroads into academe. Really exciting to see this, and to see you on the leading edge of it. We're fortunate to have you here, as a friend! Continued success with this! It is only Rock & Roll, but man, do we like it! Oh...and couldn't figure out if the archetypal academic library setting gave you and the 555 cred, or the other way around....
chico Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 its all been said already. great job John. thanks for the heads up. I'm forwarding the story to a friend offlist. he bought a really nice purple tele in Rochester when he went to Syracuse a few moons ago, a vip musical friend of mine. He has that Buffalo-Syracuse pedigree. I keep you upstate NY guys connected when possible, even if via the www. keep on rockin
bolero Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 great pic!! this quote stuck with me.....I wonder if we are slowly returning to the point where people are creating and participating with music again. what with computers, the ease of home recording etc "Starting in the twenties, vinyl records and radio stations transformed popular music from something to be learned to something to be passively consumed."
smaj Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Very informative article, well written. And a very beautiful 555!
Dick Seacup Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 great pic!! this quote stuck with me.....I wonder if we are slowly returning to the point where people are creating and participating with music again. what with computers, the ease of home recording etc "Starting in the twenties, vinyl records and radio stations transformed popular music from something to be learned to something to be passively consumed." I grew up surrounded by relatives arrayed along the talent spectrum from "good, I guess" to "exceptionally talented." All were predominately self-taught. When all of the aunts and uncles and cousins would gather at my grandparents, the music started after lunch and didn't seem to ever stop. Along with my older sister, I was given the opportunity (read: was forced) to take piano lessons from an early age. Our house had everything from that spinet piano we practiced on, to guitars, banjos and accordions. By the time I was 12 I had a functional little collection of harmonicas and a couple of Jew's harps, mostly courtesy of my favorite uncle (RIP, Tom, love and miss you!). My own sons all have played various instruments. I think only one of them hasn't really played in a while. Our youngest two actually love to record themselves (who doesn't like to hear the sound of their own voice, right?) and have been begging for permission to put up their own YouTube channel. Passive consumption as a primary means of interacting with music seems so...foreign. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

afaber Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Beautiful guitar, John. I really enjoyed the article as well. I may take the History of Rock course this fall. Alan
slider313 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Nice article. The 555 looks great. I like the way the nitro allows the grain to show.

I'm making sure that they are both well familiar with the Heritage brand guitars.
