Pedal pusher

So I did a little shopping the last few weeks and decided to fill in the last few spaces on my pedalboard.

I'm not giving an in-depth review, but here's what I got:


Definitely my fav of the three, hands down. Don't know why I went so long without a good overdrive pedal, but very happy I picked this one up! Just taking it out of the box, plugging it in and loving the way it sounds before even touching the settings - that won me over right away.



This is my third delay, already have a DD-20 and an MXR carbon copy and couldn't resist this one for some reason. Very different from the carbon copy, the AD-9 seems to add a little low end which is different - still trying to figure out where it fits in.


Tremolo is not a sound I think I'll use super often, so I went with a cheaper pedal here, but am pleasantly surprised with the quality. It's nice, small, well made metal casing, and it sounds great.

Sorry for the late blog

Have a great rest of the week,
Diana

Bring Me Your Love

Hello!

So, Dallas Green has a beautiful voice. We knew this before going to see him at his sold-out Metropolis show on Friday night, but we had forgotten how good he was! His set was a perfect hour and a half of glorious music from his three albums. About halfway through his set, Mr. Green's bandmates left him alone on stage for a few songs with only an acoustic guitar and harmonica. T'was most wonderful. Just writing about the show makes me want to see it all over again!

My favorite performances of the evening:





Have a great week :)

I Wanna Dance With Somebody

I had this whole blog-post ready about what I did this week and then I got home last night and found out that Whitney Huston died. One of my most vivid childhood memories is driving with my grandparents in their Cadillac and belting "I Will Always Love You" at the top of my lungs over and over and over again. Here is my little tribute to the woman who gave me many childhood memories as well as many adult memories (aka me thinking I know how to sing and dance when I'm out in public)

Honestly if you've ever been to a bar and this comes on you KNOW you flip out and dance like a fool.

This song also evokes that feeling.

Have a great week full of dancing and singing because I'm sure you'll  be hearing these songs all over this week.

Giant

I went to my first Superbowl party tonight, so I made some gingerbread cookies like the crazy old lady from Ace Ventura



As I was looking for a title song for my post, all I could think of was Giant by Matthew Good Band


Since we're on Can-rock from the 90s, I'm totally happy about this comeback:


Now if only these guys can get together!


Good night,
DIANA
