18:03:20 [thekat] Greetings Billy!

18:03:22 [TiredEyes] hi Billy

18:03:27 [Dan_S] Hey Billy

18:03:29 [Billy] Welcome to the first ever Billy Talbot chat in the barn.

18:03:34 [erida] hi

18:03:39 [rdvdijk] welcome Billy!

18:03:44 [thekat] Thank you

18:03:44 [dojean] welcome Billy

18:03:47 [tcheb] Hi Billy!

18:03:59 [tcheb] First question... Where are you gonna tour???????????

18:04:06 [TiredEyes] hi DeadwoodWillie

18:04:06 [tcheb] I mean When?

18:04:17 [dncshow] Hey Billy I'd Like to now if the white hat you've worn at some of your shows is a Panama?

18:04:46 [Billy] I'm going to do a couple of shows in San Francisco.

18:04:48 [DeadwoodWillie] howdy, pardner!

18:05:11 [Billy] On June 2nd we going to do a couple of shows with a stripped down version of the BTB.

18:05:12 [tcheb] aahhh... no east coast shows in view?

18:05:21 [SongDog] uhh... so I'd need some airline tickets ;)

18:05:24 [Bill_H] Any chance of hitting the northwest

18:05:25 [Billy] At the Cafe duNord.

18:05:48 [thekat] duNord?

18:05:57 [DeadwoodWillie] or acoustic set?

18:06:05 [Billy] Also the Amoeba record store on Haight in SF

18:06:09 [dojean] Hello Billy. ten years ago i've made an interview with you (and Pancho)in Paris. It's impossible to find your solo album in France. I wish to write an article about it. What can i do ?

18:06:11 [Billy] Accoustic

18:06:16 [rdvdijk] Billy: any chance of a European tour? ;)

18:06:25 [Billy] Will be doing some clubs soon, too.

18:06:28 [tcheb] By the way... that's a great idea... the chat I mean... I wonder why more artists don't do that

18:06:38 [thekat] Accoustic-perfect

18:06:49 [Billy] Yes, my hat is a Panama...

18:07:04 [Dan_S] Billy, I'd like to ask you about you classic bass, the white fender, was that your first bass?, also its obviously been modified with a new neck and pickguard, did you do that yourself?

18:07:13 [Webmaster] Slow down a bit folks.....

18:07:20 [DeadwoodWillie] can we look for any new songs to be performed?

18:07:39 [rdvdijk] sshh! slow down

18:08:22 [dncshow] Billy How about the Britt in Jacksonville Oregon... It's pretty laid back up here

18:08:35 [Billy] The album has been released now in Europe on "Diesel Motors"

18:08:42 [tcheb] hee hee... give him some time to reply :)

18:09:22 [thekat] Do you like San Diego or perhaps LA

18:09:38 [Billy] Regarding the east coast or northwest shows -- I do want to appear everywhere!

18:09:54 [Billy] I hope that we can get some touring going soon.

18:10:01 [dojean] Diesel motors???i don't know this record company

18:10:34 [rdvdijk] The BTB World Tour 2005? :)

18:10:46 [Billy] No, the white bass wasn't my first, but I've had it since 68 or 69.

18:11:13 [Billy] It has a 68 Telecaster neck with a 66 Precision body.

18:11:19 [dncshow] Hey Billy thank you for turning us all ON with your music and performances peace

18:11:30 [Billy] All the pick-ups are stock though.

18:11:35 [thekat] Yes, Dreamer is moving

18:11:42 [tcheb] about the Connect Sessions.. Is there any way to get them outside of US (in Canada) I'd really like to hear them but the Sony site is restricted to US

18:12:05 [SongDog] that was my problem, too

18:12:06 [Dan_S] Thanks billy, I've never been able to find any info on it!

18:12:23 [Billy] The Greendale bass is the same combination, but I just built it in 96.

18:12:31 [tcheb] I have to agree. Your album is really great! I saw you even posted a review I did on the rustlist :)

18:12:31 [thekat] Can't you just click from the BTB site

18:13:28 [Dan_S] is the greendale bass the one that your jeff chase plays in the dreamer video?

18:13:39 [Billy] Check the European music store websites for "Diesel Motors" label.

18:15:05 [dojean] Ok. I'm looking for this label. If i find your solo album, will you agree to make an interview by phone with me ?

18:15:16 [tcheb] I'll try that

18:15:26 [Billy] I don't know the answer to the question about getting the Connect music in Canada. Hopefully in the future you'll be able to get it somehow.

18:15:52 [tcheb] hopefully

18:16:17 [SongDog] Billy, what do you think about others covering your songs?

18:16:20 [dojean] Sorry, i'm working for a french magazine . The name of this magazine is Crossroads (i'm the author of the first french Neil Young biography)

18:16:42 [Dan_S] Billy do have any news one how Neil's doing? i hope he recovers well enough to tour again

18:16:53 [Dan_S] on*

18:17:08 [Billy] We'll add links to Diesel Motors to the website soon.

18:17:51 [tcheb] that's a great question Dan

18:17:58 [tcheb] how come nobody asked that earlier

18:18:05 [Billy] We can at least work on an email interview -- I'll answer them if they're not too lame :)

18:18:12 [thekat] Astrid's site says his doing well and will be back. He's doing an album now

18:18:31 [Dan_S] nobody knows how to get groove and soul all in one, like crazy horse

18:18:47 [thekat] Amen to that

18:18:49 [Billy] If you want to cover one, have fun!

18:19:12 [SongDog] I'll try and let you know, thank you

18:20:37 [Billy] To "dojean", write to the webmaster about that interview

18:20:58 [SongDog] Got another question concerning the copyrights. Do you mind people taping your shows and trade them?

18:21:07 [Billy] Neil's doing fine. He's recovered really well. Everything is good.

18:21:25 [Dan_S] cool

18:21:37 [SongDog] glad to hera that!

18:21:42 [tcheb] that's good news

18:21:44 [rdvdijk] great

18:22:06 [rdvdijk] what's the chances of you ever coming over to Europe for a few gigs, Billy?

18:22:20 [Dan_S] I'd love to see you, Poncho, Ralphie, and Neil get back together

18:22:30 [Brknarrw] Any chance you & Ralph & Pancho will be playing the Bridge School Benefit this year?

18:22:32 [Billy] I don't mind trading at all. I think that's a good thing.

18:23:03 [Billy] The chances of coming to Europe are good.

18:23:28 [Bill_H] I think a worldwide tour would be great !!

18:23:45 [rdvdijk] excellent, we'll meet up at the Bulldog in Amsterdam, deal? :)

18:23:56 [DeadwoodWillie] what music have you been enjoying lately?

18:24:00 [Billy] We all know that that will be happening soon. Getting the horse together.

18:24:20 [TiredEyes] Billy, who were some of your favorite bass players when you were growing up & which ones have influenced your playing over the course of your career?

18:24:58 [Billy] I have no idea about the Bridge.

18:25:05 [rdvdijk] good question, TiredEyes

18:25:22 [thekat] :o )<~~~ what Billy said about the Horse

18:25:27 [Billy] The Bulldog sounds good.

18:25:51 [thekat] Should be a big GRIN

18:26:11 [SongDog] great place, the Bulldog...not to far away from here (500 miles only)

18:26:39 [SongDog] maybe 550...

18:26:41 [Billy] Hey, does anyone out there have any questions about the music, the lyrics, etc, regarding Alive In The Spirit World?

18:27:06 [Dan_S] yes i do

18:28:21 [Billy] Regarding bass players, Duck Dunn, Jamie Jamison

18:28:22 [Dan_S] it seems like its alot like your previouse work, solo crazy horse, and some of the rockets stuff, is that just what you like to do when not rocking out with neil?

18:28:57 [Billy] Bass is more about recordings and feels rather than great bass parts

18:29:42 [Dan_S] Duck Dunn, when duck played with neil young at red rocks, Duck trashed the bassline to Tonights The Night, he just couldn't get it down, lol

18:29:46 [Billy] About the album music, it's definitely what I liked to do.

18:30:02 [dncshow] Bar Stool Blues!!!

18:30:13 [Billy] I don't think it's more any one thing than another. I feel like I covered a lot of basses with AITSW.

18:30:30 [Billy] As far as my "debut" with the BTB, I mean.

18:31:21 [tcheb] about the album... how did you record it?

18:31:23 [SongDog] Do you write songs "on the spot" or do you plan to write them?

18:31:29 [tcheb] mean was it a live recording?

18:31:40 [dojean] Webmaster> Hello. About this interview, i prefer listen Alive In Spirit World before. I 've just listened two songs on line. It's not enough.

18:31:42 [Webmaster] Hold on with the questions for a second, Billy's connection is stuck...

18:31:45 [tcheb] or did you do a lot of takes and then select/mix the best one

18:31:49 [BlindOwl] you gotta breathe easy, if you wanna relaxe

18:32:19 [SongDog] hi vidvandre :)

18:32:27 [dncshow] Alive In The Spirit World on DVD ?

18:32:43 [BlindOwl] hi songdog :)

18:32:46 [tcheb] yeah, that would be great

18:32:53 [tcheb] AITSW live in the barn

18:33:09 [rdvdijk] Billy should get Poncho to fix his computer :D

18:33:28 [tcheb] is that an inside joke?

18:34:09 [dojean] Billy, why don't you recorded this album before ?

18:34:14 [junkie14] year of the horse

18:34:17 [Billy] Am I back? Is this mic on?

18:34:26 [SongDog] yepp

18:34:29 [tcheb] yep

18:34:30 [Dan_S] poncho is a computer tech, he also is a guitar tech at the tonight show with jay leno

18:34:36 [tcheb] we hear you loud and clear

18:34:37 [SongDog] welcome back

18:34:45 [Billy] Let me look back at the questions I missed.

18:34:47 [tcheb] didn't know that

18:35:03 [thekat] Dreamer is sad yet comforting is how it affected me. The music is transcending, carries the listener away with it.. Where did it come from, Billy?

18:35:31 [BlindOwl] billy: unlike Neil you seem to still have a massive amount of hear on your head, any tips for people who may go bald in the future ? :)

18:36:22 [Billy] Regarding recording of AITSW, we set up as a band with a sound system in the barn in Mendicino. For four days we did a set in the afternoon, then make dinner, then do a set at night.

18:36:23 [SongDog] ah, you request tips for Roel?

18:36:56 [Billy] The ranch was very beautiful, it was in May, a beautiful time of year. The whole focus was these recordings.

18:37:04 [BlindOwl] songdog: haha :)

18:37:17 [tcheb] were there any leftovers?

18:37:20 [Billy] We did 11 or 12 songs each set.

18:37:42 [Billy] I listened to them when we got back home and I decided we had enough quality songs for an album.

18:37:52 [Billy] Everything was done live.

18:38:19 [SongDog] cool, best way to do it... imho

18:38:20 [Dan_S] Billy whenever i see you with a band live, you guys alwasy seem to have Massive amounts of groove and soul going, is there some nights when it just doesn't click?

18:38:31 [tcheb] that's what I thought

18:38:33 [Billy] After I was done editing, we had a week of overdubs to help out background harmonies here or there, but mostly we used the live ones anyway.

18:38:49 [tcheb] that what makes it so great I think

18:38:59 [BlindOwl] songdog: really? how's that click track going ;)

18:39:19 [Billy] We have one or two leftovers from the album sessions.

18:39:37 [Bill_H] Dreamer came out just incredible, -- the video too !

18:39:49 [SongDog] blindowl: the click track is almost done...but I'm looking for better sounding drums

18:39:50 [tcheb] so when are you releasing the deluxe version with remasters and bonus tracks? :)

18:40:09 [SongDog] if I don't find them I'll take what I have

18:40:14 [dncshow] On dvd ?

18:40:15 [Billy] About writing songs, when I get an idea it's possible to plan to write a song, if you can't get at it right at that moment.

18:40:54 [SongDog] so you make a note to come back to that idea later?

18:41:46 [tcheb] I think the Thrasher got lost in the Shed :)

18:41:52 [SongDog] I myself got tons of such notes... and seldom full songs out of them

18:42:52 [tcheb] I've got another question.. something that's been bugging me

18:43:03 [rdvdijk] * rdvdijk hums.. Stand By Me.. Stand By Me..

18:43:12 [tcheb] what's the Spirit world and where did it come from?

18:43:17 [tcheb] hee hee

18:43:19 [SongDog] great song!

18:43:23 [tcheb] STAND BY ME!!!

18:43:28 [tcheb] Awsome!

18:43:38 [Billy] Regarding where Dreamer came from, I was sitting in a hotel room before a Bridge concert playing my guitar. One whole verse came to me. But it didn't finish with the word "Dreamer". It was all there except for that. That came later on, after I wrote another verse.

18:43:43 [tcheb] one of the best and most primitive tunes I've ever heard!

18:44:12 [tcheb] primitive in a good way of course

18:44:35 [Billy] Regarding A

18:45:15 [DeadwoodWillie] Dreamer is primitive...or Stand by Me? Let's hear more about Dreamer, Billy.

18:45:30 [Dan_S] What made you want to go solo, after several decades with the horse?

18:45:32 [Billy] Regarding AITSW on DVD, 3 songs (Dreamer, His Song and an alternative version of On The Horizon are only available in the contest for now. It does exist.

18:45:40 [BlindOwl] billy: are you ok with people taping your concerts and trading them or sharing them for free ?

18:46:04 [tcheb] I think he already answered that question

18:46:13 [thekat] Life is an interseting series of events, Dreamer fits, what other might it had been? if any?

18:46:28 [BlindOwl] oh.ok.. I joined too late I guess

18:46:30 [tcheb] And by the way there aren't too much to record for now (tip... tip...)

18:46:41 [thekat] I mean what other word would have fit the place?

18:46:50 [tcheb] btu he said it was ok to share live recordings

18:47:08 [SongDog] earlier tonight: illy] I don't mind trading at all. I think that's a good thing.

18:47:21 [BlindOwl] sounds good :)

18:47:32 [Billy] Regarding nights that don't click, I'm not saying anything about that. :)

18:47:50 [SongDog] lol

18:47:58 [SongDog] good and diplomatic answer!

18:48:54 [Dan_S] lol, i'm in a band too, we do alot of neil covers, some nights it grooves, some times it doesn't :P

18:49:31 [thekat] That is the Spirit World

18:49:38 [Billy] Regarding what the Spirit World -- yes, I agree, where did it come from???

18:50:01 [tcheb] ain't that the best answer :)

18:50:20 [Brknarrw] I love the openness of your arrangements - knowing when to NOT play is just as important as knowing when to play. BTB really has a good grip on that I think

18:50:27 [tcheb] it's a tricky album title In my opinion

18:50:35 [Billy] Regarding going solo, I just wanted to record some of my songs with a band. I wanted to do it the way I knew it would work.

18:51:17 [rdvdijk] going to sleep now, have a nice chat, Billy! thanks for doing this.

18:51:18 [SongDog] wasn't it Clapton who said music is what happens in the space between the notes?

18:51:19 [tcheb] sounds easy and cliché but when you think about it...

18:51:36 [Dan_S] no ralphie and poncho??, lol

18:51:56 [tcheb] sleep well Roel :)

18:52:15 [dncshow] isn't your son in a band? Will you jam with him?

18:52:27 [DeadwoodWillie] where the songs on AITSW written recently or over over a period of years?

18:53:06 [dojean] musicians playing with you are old friends. Do you think this album would not posibble with Pancho and Ralph ?

18:53:17 [Billy] Good night to tired Europeans.. :)

18:53:59 [SongDog] dojean: aren't Poncho and Ralph old friends, too?

18:54:16 [Billy] Yes, my son is in Consafos. They're touring now. They're great, I like them a lot.

18:54:26 [SongDog] it's near 1 a.m. here, indeed... but to interesting to leave

18:54:51 [Billy] The AITSW songs were written over time, half of them were recent, half further back.

18:54:58 [Dan_S] i'm lucky, i'm in california

18:54:58 [tcheb] Consafos you say? Will have to chack them out... what kind of music do they play?

18:55:08 [TiredEyes] 1 am is nothing for SongDog ;-)

18:55:15 [dncshow] Matbe jam with him?

18:55:16 [Billy] The ones that didn't die.

18:55:36 [dojean] yes, of course SongDong. My question was. With Pancho and Ralph the sound will be different, no ?

18:55:49 [Webmaster] There's a link to Consafos from the Links page on the website.

18:55:59 [BlindOwl] european computer hackers like us don't sleep at these times anyway :)

18:56:11 [SongDog] http://myspace.com/consafos

18:56:49 [SongDog] and that's the link from Billy's website: http://www.greydayproductions.com/consafos/

18:57:41 [DeadwoodWillie] geographically, on the map.....whre are you right now,

18:58:05 [Billy] I'd love to jam with little Billy Talbot.

18:58:16 [SongDog] at the myspace link you can listen to "Tilting At Windmills" by Consafos

18:58:31 [tcheb] But does the little one want to? :)

18:58:36 [dncshow] So At a club or on tour?

18:58:37 [DeadwoodWillie] Geographically, on the map......where are you right now,Billy?

18:58:37 [Dan_S] Billy, you tend to like old gear, what about your amp, what do you use?

18:59:05 [DeadwoodWillie] sorry about the mis-typing

18:59:19 [Billy] Yeah, he does. We are mutually sympatico, musically speaking.

18:59:41 [Billy] San Francisco

18:59:52 [Billy] Sitting here with my sweet wife.

19:00:07 [tcheb] Good evening to the wife then

19:00:08 [Dan_S] hey, billy's right down the street!

19:00:11 [SongDog] greetings to her!

19:00:19 [Bill_H] Tell her hello and thanks for sharing !

19:00:27 [Brknarrw] Karen, right?

19:00:30 [DeadwoodWillie] Group hug!!!

19:00:34 [Billy] Speaking of "DeadwoodWillie", my wife and I are big fans of the show Deadwood.

19:00:43 [tcheb] does she like your music?

19:01:17 [DeadwoodWillie] Whatcha like about it, hombre?

19:01:17 [Billy] Yeah, it's Karin (with an I)

19:01:26 [dncshow] Deadwood is our favorite

19:01:30 [Brknarrw] oops.... sorry!

19:01:33 [Dan_S] I figured billy would be more into the Sopranos, lol

19:01:50 [Billy] She definitely loves her husbands music :)

19:02:01 [Billy] Her favorite is Living In The Spirit World.

19:02:05 [tcheb] good taste she has then!

19:02:16 [thekat] Smile

19:02:35 [tcheb] does she follow you on tours?

19:03:21 [Billy] Sure she's with me whereever I am. We go together.

19:03:47 [tcheb] lucky one!

19:03:56 [Webmaster] Anybody got any more questions about the music?

19:03:57 [junkie14] what cd are you into right now?

19:04:06 [TiredEyes] Hakkyou Dojin

19:04:09 [DeadwoodWillie] dontcha mean "joins on tour"? "follow" is kinda more like stalkin'. :-)

19:04:19 [Billy] Boatclub

19:04:21 [Brknarrw] anything from AITSW inspired by your relationship?

19:05:13 [Billy] AITSW is inspired by all my life's relationships.

19:05:29 [Dan_S] The music, especially in "Dreamer", tends to be part folky, part psychedelic...like an unplugged crazy horse :D

19:05:34 [SongDog] yeah, one question left.... do you think you'd have to change the style to somewhat quiter when coming back from touring with the horse? Needing more intimate music and playing it?

19:05:37 [tcheb] more generally what you think about todays music?

19:05:37 [DeadwoodWillie] who is/are Boatclub???

19:05:43 [thekat] The band members on this album are incredible artists as their bios reveal.

19:05:56 [tcheb] is it going downhill in your opinion?

19:06:11 [tcheb] not too much bands play music such as yours

19:06:26 [tcheb] as spontaneous for example

19:06:35 [thekat] Well they should

19:06:49 [Billy] Boatclub is members of the BTB who have been recording and mixing stuff of their own that really sounds good to me. I'm very excited and I can't wait for it to get out there for everyone to hear.

19:06:59 [thekat] The Humane being is alive and well there

19:07:11 [Billy] Matt Piucci, Tommy Carns and the boys have done an excellent job.

19:07:40 [junkie14] cool - they are definitely a talented bunch of guys

19:07:41 [dncshow] Billy You did work or still do with the San Fran Philharmonic

19:07:42 [Billy] Raw Oracle Productions will be bringing you this latest masterpiece soon. :)

19:07:44 [tcheb] what about mainstreem stuff?

19:07:51 [thekat] The drums are enchanting

19:08:09 [BlindOwl] billy: what do you think about copy-protected CD's ?

19:08:09 [tongva] only need more people to open their minds

19:08:30 [thekat] Yes open their minds and hearts

19:08:33 [DeadwoodWillie] This is my first visit here. What can we expect to happen in the future in the Barn and in the Shed?

19:08:52 [Billy] On the subject of music as it's evolved to this point in our time, I think we're about to break through to recordings that really sound GOOD.

19:09:01 [tcheb] hee hee 24/7 Billy on line

19:09:23 [thekat] Right on dude!

19:09:24 [tongva] true they are one(or should be)

19:09:27 [Billy] For a long time we've been in limbo with 16-bit. And before that the exciting days of analog. Now as we break away from the confines of 16bit,

19:09:31 [tcheb] I really do hope so...

19:09:42 [DeadwoodWillie] compressed audio is awlful!!!! just say NO to mp3.

19:09:42 [Billy] we're starting to find that recordings sound like music again.

19:10:02 [tcheb] cause frankly I think that it's going hopeless

19:10:09 [SongDog] that might be true

19:10:24 [Dan_S] what do you think about the "rock" being made today?

19:10:25 [tcheb] I mean where's the spirit?

19:10:28 [SongDog] but many people "forgot" what's real music about

19:10:30 [Billy] And therefore our future could be sonically rich. Unfortunately the music buyers now have been brought up listening to poorly reproduced music.

19:10:55 [tcheb] ain't that the truth

19:11:00 [Billy] No wonder "narrative with a beat" is selling, the sound is so flat.

19:11:04 [tcheb] and what's worse, they seem happy about it

19:11:19 [Billy] I think now with 24bit Super Saturated DVD stereo you can really here what's there.

19:11:26 [tongva] they dont know any better

19:11:29 [tcheb] not too much people seem to complain about all that

19:12:15 [tcheb] yeah DVD stereo is a great thing but only audiophiles know about it

19:12:34 [tcheb] most people throw themselves at MP3 iPod and all that stuff

19:12:41 [TiredEyes] is DualDisc a positive or a negative development?

19:12:53 [Billy] Regarding "the barn" (chat), we'll try to find another time to get together for a chat, all my friends out there! :D

19:12:59 [DeadwoodWillie] I think people don't complain because they haven't been educated to the difference.

19:13:11 [junkie14] when you tour it would be cool to make some live recordings available on your site

19:13:11 [Dan_S] Love Billy Talbots "lesson on smoking a joint" in the year of the horse DVD

19:13:12 [SongDog] that would be cool

19:13:25 [thekat] Billy, that is society changing. They are being influneced in a sterile way, impersonal and self serving.

19:13:32 [tcheb] well they all heard CDs... which are much better than MP3s

19:13:48 [tongva] there are still a lot of folk that appreciate real sounds of real music

19:14:05 [Billy] We have and we will. I plan on doing just that.

19:14:05 [tcheb] not enough IMO

19:14:08 [TiredEyes] MP3s are fine as long as people don't trade them and they still listen to regular CDs.

19:14:32 [tcheb] ok enough about MP3s :)

19:14:42 [DeadwoodWillie] i gotta go bring the herdin.....catcha out on the range...or on some stage. Mahalo.

19:15:22 [Billy] Regarding the impersonal self-serving comment, I guess that we get what we deserve. Or like the Rolling Stones said, you can't always get what you want, but you just might get what you need.

19:15:40 [Dan_S] great song

19:15:50 [tcheb] hee hee.. well placed...

19:15:52 [tongva] hey Billy, thanks for being here for us

19:15:53 [Brknarrw] Billy, just want to say a heart felt thank you for what you do. You rmusic is real, and warm, thoughtful and touching. There's not a lot of that goin' around these days..

19:16:28 [Brknarrw] and my typing sucks!

19:16:28 [thekat] There is hope though, but it will require effort and there are people working on reversing many of those types of effects happening in our time.

19:16:36 [tcheb] that's exactly what I mean... would like to learn about more people that play like you

19:16:40 [Dan_S] BTB knows how to "kick it OldSchool"

19:16:44 [Billy] Thank you. Catch you on the road in cyberspace.

19:16:45 [Dan_S] :D

19:16:46 [thekat] Yes, but what is the need?

19:16:55 [SongDog] maybe you could invite Ralphie and Poncho and Neil next time, too ;)

19:17:01 [Dan_S] lol

19:17:02 [dncshow] Billy you can't get any better than LIVE...

19:17:23 [tcheb] Buhh.. Billy exits?
