Marshall, not amphs or amps
Caught a terrific concert last night.
Marshall Crenshaw, solo at the Rams Head Tavern. If you don't know Crenshaw he is a terrific singer songwriter with a power pop sensibility. I'm a sucker for well crafted pop songs, so Crenshaw has been a fave for years. Last time I saw him was in the late 80's at the old Bottom Line in NYC.
He did a nice mix of material. The old stuff I remember well, Someday Someway, Cynical Girl, Whenever you're on My Mind and some very good new tunes. Also a great cover of "This guys in Love with You", the old Burt Bachrach tune. Seems wierd, but it worked really well.
Played a beautiful arch top Guild and a Baritone Danelectro.

I love Marshall Crenshaw. I haven't seen him live since the 90's. One of my favorite shows ever was MC and Graham Maby as a guitar/bass duo. It proved that you can rock without drums.

I only knew him from being the Buddy Holly in the movie. Here's a great song of Buddy covered by Marshall - and listen to that beautiful solo you can't play that with hardtails

Strummy,
That is the same guitar he played last night. Beautiful Guild. Hat and shirt is also the same, which is a little unsettling!!!
