It all started a long time ago when Kingtone handed down the Golden Magic Slide to Meantone, a bastard son of Houndog Taylor and Black Sabbath. Kingtone disclaimed, "The only way this Golden Slide will serve you is on guitars without training wheels." Since Meantone already had his training wheels (frets) removed, he knew what Kingtone was saying. Kingtone further disclaimed, "If you dishonor this virtue, your slide and you will burn to dust and will be forced to listen to the crappy pop music forced fed onto the masses for eternity. Meantone knew this was serious. He couldn’t imagine no greater hell than what Kingtone was prophesizing. So, Meantone kidnapped Young Brett from a rodeo show and forced him to play drums to complete the "Original Graveyard Blues" duo.
Meantone’s songs are heavy guitar with ripping slide and grooving drums. Meantone’s unique tuning that covers the bass and guitar registers along with Young Brett’s maximal playing of his minimalist drum kit, make you think there’s at least three to four people in the band. Another unique aspect of Meantone’s fretless guitar and songs is that they are in a tuning that was popular in Europe from the 15th to 18th centuries called quarter comma meantone. You see he’s not mean at all, just his sound. Meantone chooses to use 31 notes to the octave from this tuning as opposed to 12 notes on normal guitars. All of this puts a twist on the Blues and makes Meantone unique and fresh.

No, I "view all friends" and then scroll over each friend so that it displays their age and town, and then anyone over 21 from Portland, I right click on the "leave comment" icon and "open in new tab" so that I don't lose the page, and then paste the comment. It actually takes me several hours to leave comments to all my friends in Portland. As a courtesy however, I'll actually check the profile pages of bands to make sure they don't have a scheduled performance on the same day of the show I am promoting as I don't want to compete with them on their own page. There are programs however that you can buy that will send comments to all your friends but I don't have no money plus I don't want to bother people from far away promoting a show they could never make it to...--zen ben
