Bob Brozman-we hope your tour-down under- is going well and that you'all find yourself in good health. I am surprised that other guitarist haven't asked you this question. Do you have to retune your guitar to counteract the coiolis effect? I've been told that if a blues player doesn't take this into consideration he might wind up singing "tie a yellow ribbon" instead of some tortured Robert Johnson tune. I enjoyed the Public Radio International clip and suggest it to anyone who enjoys melodic refrains. Guitar enthusiasts should also search for as, Kurt mentioned, Last years interview on P.R.I. 11-26-98. Great interview and swell background sound, no coriolis effect there!

Dagnabbit, Bill! I still don't know when or where I did that Okinawan interview! The coriolis effect is more subtle than that, Bill, it just turns all the notes backwards, but since everyone there is upside down, it sounds just fine! IP: Logged |

Hey Steve, Coriolis was a Fr. civil engineer in the 1840's and recognized that when things traveled across the face of the earth they would tend to curve to the left in the southern hemishere and to the right in Northern hemishpere, and that might be why people in the northern hemisphere are always right and southerners more leftist. ( For proof-Check your sink drain.) This is not a forum for subversive politcal agendas so I'll quit this about here. latcho drom billk IP: Logged |

All right, I know it's not a guitar thing, but I had to throw this in ('cause this topic made me laugh out loud when I thought of it). Back in my Navy days, there was a certain significance (and a bit of a celebration) associated with the crossing of the equator. I remember that a junior enlisted guy would be posted as the "toilet watch" when we got near to the equator, constantly flushing. When the water went straight down, without swirling, we were there! And now, back to our regulary scheduled guitar discussions... IP: Logged |
