The Backyard Dusk

At least, it seems as though Buckner has a tour going all the time, especially these days before the new album arrives in a few months. So remember to check tour dates! Pollstar can be behind sometimes, and sometimes not. So don't just rely on Pollstar...to be thorough, check Davis McLarty and the Merge site too. Links are in the 'Recommended' sidebar.

Thanks to Jason, who provided some info on Buckner's guitar gear for the August 6th performance at the Mermaid Lounge in New Orleans (he included the info in a message to the Doubters list, but also sent me a copy). People (like Brad, who e-mailed me a few months back) who wanted to know what RB was using lately for his loops -- now you finally can find out!

1 elec, 1 acoustic.

Each runs into a Boss chromatic tuner. The elec. runs into a Boss Digital Delay pedal, and a compression pedal. They both run into a Boss Loop Station (which I was excited to see because I use it with my band). He also uses an Ebow.

I suppose I'll start a separate page with Buckner gear whenever I have time to put it together.

In other news, you can now subscribe/syndicate this site. It makes it handy, so that you don't have to keep checking back manually to see if there's a new post. I've added site feeds to the sidebar at the left. You can add it in Bloglines, or to your My Yahoo! page, or to any other program or XML feed aggregator that is Atom-enabled.

And yes, I know that the CSS still doesn't make the page look right when there's only a short post (like in the archives). I'll try to look at it/fix it when I have some time to do it, but that won't happen until later.
