REM from the old days
Back when my younger brother (who was still in high school) gave me some REM (Reckoning album), REM was reviewed as being "string oriented music" I guess because so much at the time had gone to synths, etc. Here is a nice live example of one of my favorites:
Steve Thompson
Sun Valley, Idaho
Guitars: Fender 60th Anniversary Std. Strat, Squier CVC Tele Hagstrom Viking Semi-hollow, Joshua beach guitar, Martin SPD-16TR Dreadnought
Amphs: Peavey Classic 30, '61 Fender Concert
Effects and such: Boss: DS-1, CE-5, NS-2 and RC20XL looper, Digitech Bad Monkey, Korg AX1G Multi-effects, Berhinger: TU100 tuner, PB100 Clean Boost, Line 6 Toneport UX2, Electro Harmonix Little Big Muff Pi, DuhVoodooMan's Rabid Rodent Rat Clone, Zonkin Yellow Screamer Mk. II, MXR Carbon Copy Delay
love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart. . .

I feel really privileged that I was in school in Athens, Ga. and coming into my own as a musician at the time when REM were first making it big. Athens was an incredible place in those days; everybody I knew was either an musician or a visual artist and there was music everywhere.
Another truly great band that Athens produced was Pylon. Here they are at their last show on December 1, 1983. I'm somewhere out there in the audience.
