Such a Payne

I wrote a review of my friend, Sam Payne, on MyCrazyMusicBlog.com. I wanted to also show a great video of his sister Eliza Wren Payne who lives in London, England. I was first introduced to her music/voice at a Sam Payne concert in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was in town, and Sam asked that she come up and sing "Summertime." I do believe that it was the audience favorite of the night. Here is a link to her website and a music video of "Dance Song." www.elizawrenpayne.com

the quest for perfection


so i've spent the last month buying, selling, and trading gear. i'm looking for that perfect rig that will do everything i need it to do, plus be simple enough for anyone to tweak with it. for the past few years i've had the millenium falcon of pedal boards - the boss gt-8! i mostly play acoustic music on fiddle, mandolin, and guitar, and the boss gt-8 it was total overkill. i switched to the tc electronics g natural but there were flaws in the way it was patched together for my use. this month i've made the switch to individual pedals. i think i've finally found the magic that i've been searching for. easy to control nob's, a simple volume pedal, eq, tuner, reverb, and delay. it sounds great and my mom could figure it out. i guess i've gone from the millenium falcon to a starfighter....
