Vintage HIWATT Convention 2010

[Dr.HI-TONE]

I am very pleased to announce that Glen Cornick will be our special guest!


Glenn is one of the earliest big time Hylight HIWATT users from his time with Jethro Tull. He was instrumental in the birth of the DR201 and the name of the FL112.

Well, then that plethora of '405s will come in handy!

Uhhhhhhh...."sitting on a park bench" was Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond....

But that's ok.

Assuming I can make it, I'm hoping Mr. Cornick will show me a few tricks in a few of his bass lines....

Hello to all!

So I've unwittingly offended our Special Guest well before the Convention convenes? Apologies for the faux pas.

Guess I'd better brush up on my Tull-ology .

How about "It was a new day yesterday, but it's an old day now" or "Flying so high, trying to remember"

From Stand Up and Benefit, two of my favorite Tull albums.

Excellent news, by the way!

Our Special Guest might need some room to maneuver!

I like this one... bow-dow-dow-dow-dowww (buh-dud-dud buh-duh-duh-duh)

Guess I'd better brush up on my Tull-ology .

Ha! Just brushed up and I may have dodged a bullet:

Personnel:
Ian Anderson: Vocals, acoustic guitar, flute
Martin Barre: electric guitar, descant recorder
John Evan: piano, organ, mellotron
Jeffrey Hammond (as "Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond"): bass guitar, alto recorder and odd voices (and backing vocals on "Mother Goose")
Clive Bunker: drums and percussion
Glenn Cornick: bass guitar (played with the band at rehearsals for the album in June 1970, some of which may also have been recording sessions, although he is not credited on the album).[7]

Only our Special Guest knows for sure!

[Mike B.]

I'm sure you can ask him. I'll go by what the album says and by what Ian Anderson said in numerous interviews since the album's appearance (I believe Mr. Hammond-Hammond has also referred to his playing on "Aqualung the song"). We may never know the truth, but I'm sure record companies always lie when they print something on an album.

In fact, you've convinced me, Dave. The album jacket lied.

I'll never ceased being amazed....

"If I Don't Come Directly from NYC I'll Have Something that Will Sound The BEST" (HInt: You'll need the 405s.)

PS If I'm there, I'll probably not bring anything but a bass for Mr. C., actually.... That includes the drummer, too. You might want to find one.

[Dr.HI-TONE]

We will have 3 DR405's!
I have two drummers in mind.

It will be FUN!

[mikhailwatt]

I have two drummers in mind.

Mine is interested - waiting to hear if he can take the time off (he's self-employed - what?) to take a road trip with yours truly.

EDIT: No dice - he's got too much on his plate to take the time away. Bummer!

I might rent a pickup truck for the journey... will have cargo.

Great! I am looking forward to meeting him.

A drummer I used to play with in the 1990's is only about 40 minutes away, I discussed it with him a couple months back. He is very solid.

We could have two areas set up That would enable everyone to get in on some jamming without overworking a rhythm section.

After clearing it with the boss.... I am in...

I'll be flying in, so I will be limited somewhat by what I can carry. I'll definitely bring one guitar (probably my Townshend SG or R4) and a few pedals. The 2 I think would be interesting to play with are a Catalinbread WIIO V.1 and a Wattson Superfuzz clone. I'd love to bring a few amps but I won't have the time off to commit to driving.

Looking forward to finally meeting and playing with you guys!

Do we have a setlist yet?

Great!
Glad to hear that you will be here!
I've got an amp or two you can use.

[Mike B.]

Funny, but if I did drive up from home (which I won't do as I'll be in NYC and will come right over to Indiana from there) I'd probably get in trouble by bringing the Coliseum Bass stack. I suppose you could always ban me from entering if I did that.

Stay in touch with me via PMs, Clayton, concerning the topic we discussed elsewhere. For sure I'll be there with up to two basses. How delightful it will be to see another bassist there, especially Mr. C.!!

Should I Ask Him if I'm Playing "To Cry You a Song" Correctly? (Naaaaaah....)
