Stray Setzer Posters

HRG, take it easly hun.
I'm not spoiling your party... I just gave my point of view about that.
I know it's not all about "being the coolest cat or having the unique thing", but I do also enjoy the moment and the music.
However, I stick to what I said and I see eye to eye with Grestchkat.

I have the obsessive collecting bug too -is a costly business!

me too - I don't think there was anything wrong with what Jon said HRG!!

You're absolutely right, and, as a matter of fact, it is something that we will likely start doing on future tours. However, the posters we sell will be of the high-quality silk-screen variety. Very cool!

Hi Niels -are you connected to Setzer/Cats? -must have missed when you first started posting but is implied in your comments -just curious!

Yes, I'm with Brian's management and label. Have been working with Brian since 1993.

Niels,

Since you've graciously discussed the cost-effectiveness of upcoming tour posters and programs, I wonder if I might ask ye about the possibility of one other collectible-type item. Specifically I was wondering if Brian and/or his label were planning on releasing any more of the B.S.O. band charts either for just guitar or for other instruments (i.e. full orchestra scores)? I ask because aside from the two sheet music books from the early 2000's, "Brian Setzer Best of the Big Band", and "The Guitar of Brian Setzer", there hasn't really been anything else released. I posed this question to Tommy awhile back and he said that this was a possibility. I realize this is more of a "niche" market type of item, but I was just curious as to whether or not this was on the radar for Brian and/or his label.

Thanks to ye in advance .

I would buy those books for sure. I alway wanted to play BSO songs with our school Big Band!

I think HRG's point wasn't to attack collectors, it was to criticize the point of view that was against mass-producing something very cool like a commemorative concert poster, even on a limited run, for those fans who would like them.

I understand that collector "itch" to have something that only 4 or 5 other people in the world have, but it really doesn't apply to tour merchandise. I think the posters are a fine idea. Protective tubing for them as well, and I promise not to pummel anyone with it at a show. I can't speak for Debs, though. She's perfected the art of virtual *thwap*ping.

Hey Rickipedia,

Is that Spazz' mum pictured in your avatar?

Alvis

Nah, it's me Grandmum. I talked 'bout her a bit last week on THIS thread.

I do want to thank the folks who expressed their condolences to me, both here and via email. Grandma was a pretty private person, but I think she would have gotten a kick out of people offering well-wishes from all over the world on her account.

Scatman, who is that old woman in your avatar?

Dig Petty-billy

So sorry to hear the news, she was obviously loved by many.

I've been missing out on alot of topics/posts here, as the wifey is due to give birth any day now..............

I'll call you soon...............


PS I think that's Chrissie Hynde during her short-lived dye job, playing a way cool single cutaway Hofner bass.
