- Bill knows how to swing the hammer better than most anyone I know - not to mention his knowledge of the tool - truly a Telecaster Expert in every way! - This track is from a private show in 2009 in Sac - he will be playin the Auburn Event Center 9-23-2011
I just discovered this guy from seeing his Hot Rod Lincoln commercial and holy crap, how is this guy not in the Rock and Roll hall of fame?!?!?
Because we don't vote😕
How is it I've never heard this!?!?🇺🇲 The SINGULAR PATRIOTS
"Born at the junction of form and function." One of the best lines I've ever heard. Who came up with that?
"You can't pay me what I'm worth, I don't work that cheap." Lyric from the same guy.
A white boomer is my guess
I took the picture of Bill that flashes at :56 sec in the green jacket. It was taken in April 2004 at the Alden Theater in McLean Virginia. Twang on!
Eric Clapton gave an extra Fender to one of his roadies. The roadie realized he was never going to be that good, and so he gave it to a kid who was suffering a Gibson. Ritchie Blackmore did stuff.
I still have many vinyl. Of Commander Cody and bis LPA. Great Memories.
in the nineteen sixty's our parents would not let us listen to Commander Cody or other new rock groups my older cousin's and siblings could but oh no not us young kids now I'm fiftysix gee whiz,
...I'm 72 - I couldn't listen to Rn' R until I joined the Army...those days in the Army were the happiest days of my life!!!
I had the pleasure of talking with Mr. Kirchen as he practiced one day. Duly impressed by the lack of varnish on his guitar, we took a few minutes and added up his practice time, gigs and years playing. A loose estimate came to 38 Million notes played on that one guitar. It's easy to love Bill Kirchen. This song and slideshow are great.
'Born at the junction of form an' function' Damn right! you just gotta spank the plank!
Well said !!!
This song needs to be featured on American Gods. 🔥🔥🔥🎸
Yee haa... I second that; Leo got it right first time round "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
Bill, your one cool cat.
Had the pleasure of hanging with him back in the 80's... GREAT guy!
Leo Fender brought Telefunk to the masses. Stratofunk as well as Precision to the electric bass. Great post Smilin Scott. Twang on DUDE! THX
Just superb 👍💥💥💥🇺🇸
I think I found a new guitar hero.
It took me forever....2024
"Thank you Leo,,,,,you gave us MUCH MORE than we expected to receive,,,"
We are over due for a show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My new theme song. Love it!
oooOooh my yes.
if u like this u have to see him live it was amazing
If it ain,t a Tele its just a guitar . Everybody should have at least one .
Hey Bill, fresh pot of coffee in the green room.....
I used to love the Stratocaster till I got older and finally gave the Tele a try. The deep twang and attitude just makes it so much more fun to play than the Strat despite the fact it does not have a whammy bar.
Lol, I could have written that because it's exactly what happened to me! Still play my great Strat but Telecaster is definitely number 1.
if u watch close he uses the volume knob to get a wah whammy effect he even took out the controls and turned them around so the knob was in front
He's coming to the Birchmere in Dec!!
Wunderbar! Danke.
Great tune !
Bill and Scott and Fender. Classics!
You really rock!!!!!!
I have 2 sets of Don's pickups and they are my favorites!
SUPER ! TNX !
Man, I'm lovin this new Telecaster hammer even more now!!
Awesome!
Great tune!!
A long time BK fan. Check out his Hot Rod Lincoln Live CD.
