DAVID RAWLINGS after a GEORGE BENSON show!
David Rawlings achieves his signature guitar sound flatpicking a small archtop guitar. The 1935 Epiphone Olympic that has been his primary instrument was a mid-priced guitar for its time, with a carved arched solid sprucewood top, carved arched solid mahogany back and mahogany sides.[1] It sold for about $35 in 1935.[2] The guitars lower bout measures 13 5/8 inches wide, and it has three piece f-holes.[1]GILLIAN WELCH AND DAVID RAWLINGS
Gillian Welch’s main guitar is a ca. 1956 Gibson J-50 with a factory-installed adjustable bridge. "It’s pretty much just like a J-45," she says. "It’s blond, and it’s got a big ugly pickguard on it." A couple of years ago, she picked up a five-string Vega Senator banjo, which she’s specially modified "with a little bit of bubble wrap shoved under the head."
David Rawlings gets his signature, midrangey guitar sound from a 1935 Epiphone Olympic archtop with a carved top and plywood mahogany back and sides. He likens its sound to that of a resophonic guitar. "I bought it without a bridge," he says, "and had a one-piece mahogany bridge made for it. I think with a top this small it really behooves you to get as much stuff touching the top as you can, because the top doesn’t have that much flex to it." He says his guitar is unique in that every note on every string plays at the same volume. "It doesn’t have any dead spots or any high spots—which is very, very strange," he says. "It makes it fun to play lead, because you don’t have to worry where you’re at. It’s not much of a solo instrument, but I can’t really play by myself worth a darn, so it doesn’t make much of a difference."
Welch and Rawlings switched their stage amplification rig in 1996 from pickups and DIs to external microphones. Rawlings explains that the change has made setting up for shows easier, although they do need to be a bit more hands-on during setup than they used to be. "We carry Shure SM-58s and SM-57s," Welch says. "Fancy microphones can be very difficult. The one thing that’s nice about the Shures is that their quality control is low enough that they are all different. They’re like snowflakes. If we carry a complement of eight microphones, we can go into a hall and find the right one for the room and the system. We play the microphone game; we swap them out." "And it’s easy to control volume by changing the proximity to the mics," Rawlings adds.

TAJ MAHAL
Taj Mahal has always loved guitars. "Any book that had a bunch of guitars in it, I could just look at them for days," he says. His first instrument was a Silvertone: "One of those Sears models with the round hole." In high school he made enough money to buy himself an Epiphone Texan. "That was the first guitar that I had around for a long, long, long time," he recalls.
Mahal got into resonator instruments early on with their "ringly, tingly sound." The brown National Duolian he used on his first records was a long-term loaner from a friend who was sent to prison. "He said that I deserved this instrument more than he did."
Today he confesses, "I don’t know how many guitars I have. It’s probably about time for me to count. I’d probably say about 25 or something like that. I’ve got a ’50s Gretsch Eldorado, a couple of Dobros (a signature Dobro that Dobro made for me), a really nice Guild 12-string that I love." He also owns three black McPhersons (McPherson Guitars, PO Box 537, Sparta, WI 54656; [608] 269-2728; fax [608] 269-3120) that have three soundholes: a small-body model "built like a 00-18," and a six-string and 12-string, both "built almost on the J-200 size." These instruments feature spruce tops and mahogany backs and sides.
As for string gauges, Mahal says, "Generally I use an .011 to a .047 or .012 to .052 on the bigger guitars, the necks and bodies that can hold it."

Your Real Spiritual Leaders Labeled Insane
Dear Citizen,
I must bring to your attention the most important matter facing our people that you will not hear from mainstream media sources.
Outside the Western World there is no such thing as a Schizophrenic, only Shaman, spiritual leaders. The one percent of our people are the natural community leaders of our species and the most important ability we all have, has been intentionally hidden from our people.
Our Empathic ability, to feel what another person is feeling, the ability to mind read, and make an educated guess as to what another human being is thinking. The 1% of our population are the full empath’s of our species.
They are breaking down because of the way we have allowed criminals to create our Capitalist society. People are operating on Power & Control within their mind’s, and this too is denied by mainstream Psychologists and Psychiatrists. Most professionals are not aware enough to see what is going on with people around them to know the truth.
We are allowing a criminal system to systematically take away these individuals abilities when they are overcome with negative feelings and then require help from our medical system.
Antipsychotic drugs are among the most dangerous used by Doctors. One Doctor said their physical effects are worse than heroin. The drug companies have grossly mislead us about their dangers. Yet their use continues to increase at the hands of, very much in the dark Doctor’s.
These drugs make people erratic and cause even stronger emotion in several ways. Effectively ruining the life of anybody who takes them, and they are extremely difficult to withdraw from.
Even the fully trained Psychiatrists are very much in the dark about what their dealing with in terms of the people and the drugs.
If we want to create a heaven on Earth as God intended, we must raise our awareness of the truth. We must protect our most gifted of people before they become ill and place them throughout society as watchful guardians in order to stop corruption and so they may advise on the most human way of doing things.
This is how it was done in many cultures across the Earth, past and present. Native American Indians are well known. Africa and South America are among the most commonly known parts of the world where this is still the organisational structure of society in many places. There will be no freedom if we cannot abide by Nature’s Law. Criminals are dismantling our freedoms one by one and very few people are taking notice.
At the moment, Doctors and Psychiatrists are quite comfortable, well paid and uninformed. It doesn’t seem to bother mainstream medicine how badly people are being hurt as long as the immediate symptoms are silenced and the problems hidden for a short time. Perhaps they need a larger emotional intake, a larger sense of feeling. Something one percent of our people have naturally.
A more powerful mind can lead to ego/identity problems if they are not trained in the ways of nature as we are all needing to be. The “I am” part of ourselves is the most important we need to understand.
Tony Blair and George Bush have both said that they think God speaks through them. This is not a Messiah complex, it is the true way we are supposed to exist, with an awareness of who we are directly connected too. These two men are responsible for much suffering and dishonesty. They will not likely make it to Purgatory without asking for forgiveness and giving God’s true spiritual leaders their love.
We are children of God and we are all his messenger if we understand his love is within us. The more you come to understand your heavenly Father’s Love is a very real part of you, the more you relax and become peaceful and loving within yourself, leaving Lucifer’s Power and Control way of being behind. The more you think about it, the more aware you become, and you are connected to the Devine. Evolved.
You become a complete human being through self awareness, you must remember the truth about your origin to become fully conscious and aware. Your heart is part of God's. We must save our most spiritual of beings from evil.
God forgives all, and loves you more than you know, if we can love our most spiritual of souls rather than allow evil to discredit them. They are the strongest conduits of God and the spirit world if trained to use and understand these realities properly.
Our spiritual leaders have access to more parts of the mind, this has been described as oceanic boundlessness, a rare gift also known as bliss. This precious jewel can be spread into the hearts and minds of those who are aware of the truth and learn to love their true spiritual Fathers of society.
With a stronger dose of emotion comes a higher capacity to understand the human condition, and a stronger sense of protection. They are the love, the light and the way.
Never allow the corrupt, the unenlightened, or Satan to tell you otherwise. Guide people gently towards to the truth. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was to convince man he did not exist. It's time to awaken one another.
