(TV) Technical Q for Dennis / Pick Was Jimmy using an e-bow

["Nancy E. Elgin" <nelgin@nyct.net>]

Hmm, my memory's a bit muddled by now, but I don't think he did use an 
e-bow. I do remember thinking that Ripp was getting amazing 
keyboard-like sounds from his guitar, though. Actually, my initial 
reaction to the question was yes, Ripp did use an e-bow, but then when 
Dennis said no, I started to doubt myself--so, it could go either way!

By the way, my determined Internet searching turned up some interesting 
info on the current activities of the Amazing Mr. Ripp--who more 
frequently goes by Jimmy Rip. He plays with, possibly manages, and has 
produced an upcoming record for Jerry Lee Lewis, which will have many, 
many also amazing guests on it.

I didn't notice Jimmy Ripp playing with an e-bow, but Jim Mastro did in 
the
opening set. Jimmy Ripp is famous for his use of guitar synth though.
