Having heard Jon’s Rubbertellie on Dedications: Faces and Places, his CD with Bill Frisell, folks are always curious about what the Rubbertellie actually is! What does it look like? Well there is a YouTube link that shows Rubbetellie in action with Jon playing Brother Sharpe, a cut from the Dedications CD. The concert performance was at Bishop’s University in Quebec, Canada.
Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXoKY1B6qFM

Fantastic! The idea of prepared guitar always intrigues me! The electric guitar is just one instrument; but with a million other instruments hiding inside.
Its fantastic to see the different applications and personal techniques that can be idiosyncratically developed with pursuing that first little *spark* of creativity!
We’ve only begun to explore what is possible with music!

I am happy that you are enjoying my instrument, the Rubbertellie. I was recently a guest in Australia where I produced 12 “Rubbertellie Murals.” The Rubbertellie is a creative world unto itself.
I am available to do Creative Workshops/Performances on Guitar and Rubbertellie and for musicians of all persuasions and instruments.
Contact me if you wish.
