Ahoj
Jims Princeton Promo Video brought me here. I like Jims music very much, and his extraordinary kind of playing as well. Saw his gig in Nov. 2012 in Prague CZ - what a pleasure.
I’m playing Guitar seriously now for four years, and Jim is a source of inspiration for me.
I’ve got a ’64 Princeton and a ’71 Vibrolux here, playing with a 335 and an American Special Tele.
These old Fender Amps are gorgeous, the sound is really fantastic.
My fav. Musicians are Marc Ribot, Howe Gelb, Kenny Burrell, Tom Waits, Roy Buchanan, Kurt Wagner, Wes Montgomery and of cause JC.
Hope I can learn here a bit, and give a little input too. Happy to be a part of this community.

Andy from the UK here, just thought I'd say hi.
Your list of musicians caught my eye as all of them are firm favourites except Marc Ribot who I keep meaning to check out. Maybe you could suggest a good starting point.
Glad to see Howe Gelb mentioned too. I think he is one of the hidden gems of the music world.
@ Andy try "Fat Man Blues"
He's playing a Gibson ES 125 TDC here which i like very much.
What i like too is - "happiness is a warm gun"
or here together with "Los Cubanos Postizos"
Also i like what he is doing together with Tom Waits. Marc Ribot ist doing very different things, sometimes simple, sometimes a bit turned in.
And yes - Howe Gelb is pretty cool!
@ Jim - you had a good time there? I'm really pleased! You were talking about your jetlag - poor old chap! Concert and jetlag i think its no fun. By the way- 'No Fun' ist a very cool track! I guess it's much better than the Original. A Tele, a Voice and a very special Atmosphere - brilliant.
I've been today in a big Record Store in Linz/Austria searching for your new CD.
In the Store - Me:"hallo, i'm seeking for the new Jim Campilongo CD"; Vender" Jim who?"; Me:"Campilongo, with C"; Vender:" can you spell the Name?"; Me:" ok - C A M P ...." Vender: searching in his Computer - 20 sec. later " oh I'm sorry, this CD is not listet, so you can't get this here in Austria. Bad Luck!
Ok then - i travel in middle of June to Munich/Germany and try again ...

also I once saw Jim and Marc Ribot play together at Brooklyn Bowl. here's a decent recording of it-
