Learning more about Elvis Costello and the Attractions, I had no idea of his first SNL performance...

Also! Pink Floyd's album Obscured by Clouds, a very underrated album in my opinion, was released 50 years ago today!

I remember being excited about Elvis appearing on SNL -- and IIRC I had that Floyd LP..

favorite guitarist

Mine fluctuate, depending on who I'm into. At the moment, it's Wagakki Band, so Machiya. I don't think I've posted this one before, since there's no Yuko:

This is my favorite guitarist from Japan: Tak Fujiwara

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Nice -- I'll have to look into him. 🙂

A little info on Machiya's guitar: looks like he's using the 7-string baritone Sago he switched to a few years ago, from the 6-string. I can't tell if it has the same 33" 29 fret neck; I couldn't find a demo of it, but here's a short one of the 6-string:

He said he switched because it cut down on the number times he needs to change guitars during live performances.

While I'm here, I may as well include some Yuko, showing how she combines modern technique with traditional shigin style singing:
