Watching Ed Friedland

I'm watching Ed Friedland in Austin right now, making some
wonderful music on his Sterling 5. What a musician!

Poppa, if you're in Austin and I didn't know about it; I'm going to feel pretty bad!

[sings] I always feel like, someone is watching me....

Good seeing you and John last night Ben. Another gig that confirmed for me that the Sterling 5 kicks major ass! It's neat because after playing on 35" scale 5's for several years, I feel like I've been set free! It's so nice to play on a 34" that doesn't suffer on the B string, I can finally play again.

BP - I hope it was on Youtube... otherwise you might be in violation of that restraining order....

Ed Im watching to make sure that you dont pocket any of the forks or knick knacks and curios...

OK thanks ED...ONly about 21 years I get people bitching that it isnt 35" but they also forget that Ive sold more USA 5 strings than anyone..... I think that 34 feels better and dudley desgins them so they sound as good as a 35

Forks? Think bigger, I'm trying to fit that bottle of Lagavullen in my gig bag!


RE: 35 vs 34".... As much as a 35" scale B sounds great, I've never been able to get fully comfortable with the feel. The tension, the spacing... I mean, I can play it, but it doesn't feel like home.
