Thread: YouTube solos - post the best

Dave Hole is a West Australian. Story is he was a late starter musically and it was his hobby. One day, so it goes, he sold everything he had to move to the USA to crack the big-time. He did. They love him and he tours almost non-stop and has a big following over there. "Business Man" is one of my favourite tracks.

I remember reading in another thread a while back that Wild Dingo (member here) was a roadie for him, or something along those lines.

I was too young to go and see him when he came out in the '70s, but a mate of mine who managed to see him in Townsville still talks about it.

an oldie but a goody

Come to think of it, it's prolly Ding's fault the guy plays slide upside down...

Maybe thats why Ding's gone to the US, to tell him after all these years.

If he's lucky he might catch up with this guy as well, another Aussie.

I'm sure someone posted in here a comment that they wished their was someway to download the youtube vids to a hard -drive. I can't find who it was though.
BUT, no biggie! I have good news for us old rock n blues tragics. There is a way.
I've found a Firefox Add-on that does just that. It downloads the youTube native *.flv files and converts them to .mpeg, mp4 or avi files on the fly. The free version is short a few bells and whistles but for 28 bucks US you can have the registered version. I didn't bother.
Like I say its only for Firefox Browser 3.xxx (Linux, Mac and Windows XP). Its working ok on my Windows 7 OS. Give it a try.
Now I can sit back and watch Tom Waits any old time without draining my D/L allowance. woot.
GoHERE for a decko!
Cheers
