Its me

I'm a semi retired, working musician (blues, rock, country, soul, etc) who loves Thailand. Back and forth between Canada and Thailand. Rock on!  dcb

Chack out Koh Phangan the next time you are over, if you haven't already

OK. Also, there are some blues rock players from USA, Scotland, etc, over in Hua Hin area. Regular jam sessions, gigs, and more.   dcb

Thanks  David. Its a long way from me,but I may  take  a ramble there on a bike,one day

OK. I know the whereabouts of Koh Phangan.  So the live blues music venue in or around Hua Hin is called Thaiwaii.  (Thai + Hawaii) There's a Scottish blues guitar player that I know who lives in that area too. Rock on.   dcb

Nice. I will get back to you with my rig, soon.   dcb

No rush. As I've gotten older, I gone back to my roots,musically

So, my gear:  74 Fender Strat modified with Rumpelstiltskin handmade pups, noise reduction and rewired circuitry to use all combinations of pups. Squier Strat 60s Classic Vibe soon to be modified with pups handmade for me in Las Vegas -- a gift from the craftsman. Fender Tele Highway One with handmade pups from Rumpelstiltskin (West Virginia). Squier Tele Classic Vibe with Dimarzio Twang King pups. Two Squier Bullet Strats (made in Indonesia - so OK). A 1965 Gibson ES 330 modified with an anchored tail piece (LP style). Epiphone Emily SG psychedelic art design. Gibson Les Paul Special TV Yellow limited edition with P-90s (newest gf). Vintage Roland GR300 with G303 guitar-controller (a la Pat Metheny). William Laskin 1977 acoustic guitar with cutaway. A pint-sized Yamaha APXT2 travel / writing guitar (nice) with pint-sized Yamaha travel amp that works on either batteries or AC. A Mexican-made Fender P-bass and Fender Rumble 30 rehearsal / small-room bass amp.
     Go-to amp is a Fender Deluxe Reverb '65 reissue modified with a 12" Celestion Gold speaker and Mullard quick-saturation 12AX7A input tubes, etc. (sweet). One of the first Mesa Boogie amps ever made (serial # A214) now called a Mark-1 or Mark-2 modified with a vintage 12" EV speaker (don't know where the original JBL K120 got to). Solid state amps include Fender Mustangs 1 & 2 and a Vox Pathfinder 15. Miscellaneous stringed instruments include A charango armadilla, a benguela, a uke, an unstrung banjo, an unstrung nylon-string guitar, a beat-me-up acoustic party guitar and a pile of percussion curiosities including seashell wind-chimes from the beaches of Hua Hin.
     I have a modest host of pedals that I take to gigs and sessions in a Boss carry case / power supply: Lately, I've been running a Boss TU-2 Chromatic tuner, Origin Effects Cali76 compressor-limiter, Fulltone OCD overdrive, an Xotic Effects Soul Driver (awesome), an Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork octave and multi-purpose pedal, Boss CE-5, Boss RV-3 that I am soon going to sub out for a Wampler Ethereal Reverb-Delay unit (lush). On the side I have a few classic pedals as well as a fairly new Cry Baby Mini Wah.
     On my Mac desktop OSX I'm running ProTools 10 with lots of apps and plug-ins, M-Box Pro analogue-digital interface, an Oxygen 49 keyboard midi-controller, some nice Yorkville speakers and a decent sub-woofer. Add to that KRK KNS-8400 phones, AKG K240 phones, etc, and a host of studio worthy dynamic and condenser mics. Everything else, I rent as I need it. One day I would love to have a drum room and house kit. I use Super-Drummer samples (Easy Drummer company), which is wonderful but I'm still doing the learning curve with all of this studio shite. I produce but I've always relied on an engineer in the past -- Now I have to do both jobs. 
     I have a website at davidcolinburt (dot com) and a Youtube channel that I need to start building up. I also have a ReverbNation account. I'm 69 and working out at the University of Toronto Athletic Centre in an attempt to keep in road-warrior fit condition. My wife is Thai, living in Toronto at this time -- a sous chef at a popular Thai restaurant. We have a rented house in Toronto and a nice mortgaged place in Bangkok.
     I love to hang out in Krabi Town and Koh Chang because there are decent music scenes in these places. Actually, there is great music throughout Thailand. Hua Hin also boasts of a good music scene as well as an annual jazz festival -- There are a pile of expat blues players including players from California, Scotland, etc, that I've met online . . . all living and working there.
     Anyway, that's my rig rundown. I'm keeping educated through Recording Revolution, Advanced Music Production (AMP), Master Class, and some free Berklee courses through Coursera. (writing, lyric writing, composing film scoring, jazz improv courses (I'm not a jazz player outright but I've always studied and applied the elements to my playing and writing.
     My day job, 4 mornings a week: Teaching English as a Second Language to adults at CCVT -- Canadian Centre for Victims of Torture (and war). I'm one of a handful of teachers in the whole world who does this kind of work so I have to do some public speaking every so often. Between all of that, I still find time to knock back a few pints.
     Military background as a teen? Cadets-Reserves in Hamilton Ontario Canada -- Sutherland Highlanders and Argyles (among the sharpest troops in the world whenever they are allowed to command themselves). 

Cheers.   dcb
