The 'influence' was Janis Joplin, (apparently) and with whom DK is said to have had what you might call a 'brief encounter'.... :wah
Never heard that one before.
Interesting.

Is that the Strat with the bizarre switch placement? :hmm

Danny Kirwan also played a pale color maple necked telecaster.... It can be seen on the 'live' FM video footage of 'Woman's Got The Blues'.... The 'influence' was Janis Joplin, (apparently) and with whom DK is said to have had what you might call a 'brief encounter'.... :wah

The story goes back to 1969.... In '97 Peter Green's Biographer, (Martin Celmins) mentioned of an occasion where Janis shared the same bill as FM. After one gig, Janis strutted into the hotel bar where the Mac lads were enjoying a drink.... Bold and brazen as ever, she announced "Tonight, I'm gonna have one of guys up in my room.... now come on, which one of you is it gonna be?".... Peter Green apparently told her: "Well, you're not having me.... have him!" (pointing to Danny)..... and, after some some encouragement Mac's youngest guitarist, (shall we say) rose to the challenge....:wahJRL821@AOL.COM said:Neither have I

The article concluded, that, the following day - Miss Joplin's renowned physicality had apparently left his back in ribbons.... If we assume such to be so, 'Blues with a feeling', to be sure.... :halo
It wasn't in the book.... A magazine article.Thats a funny story. I read Peter's bio by Martin Celmins. But i dont remember reading that part.....

Personally, regarding Janis..... Her voice and 'feel' at the Woodstock performance recording, has always left me somewhat in awe.

thanks great pic -
and yes - post away! can't hurt
Here is the B&W RAH 'sound check' shot - As previously mentioned, it is none too clear.... :-( If nothing else though, it does give a good idea of the power/size of the (mainly) Orange gear FM were using at that time and shows DK in his typical 'intense' mode....
TW59.... I'll delete the pic if you feel it is not clear enough.
Here is a pic from a CD sleeve that shows Danny Kirwan and Peter Green with their guitars. Danny's,(circa) '56 Goldtop has the switch tip missing and is top-wrapped. Looks like strap locks weren't in vogue with him either.... No doubt the original pic has caught some of the patina/wear to the top/sides also.
I have a B & W pic of Danny doing a sound check at the Royal Albert Hall in London. But it is quite 'grainy'... Do you guys want it posted?
Hate to divert the thread momentarily,,, but check out PG's pre-faded burst.... Sooooo cool to see the evolution of that axe.
It wouldn't surprise me if it was. If his back was bruised all over, then that suggests that a struggle must have taken place, meaning that it would have been rape on her part. Pretty horrible and perhaps he never got over it.Thats a funny story. I read Peter's bio by Martin Celmins. But i dont remember reading that part.
Poor Danny. I love Janis and her music, but i sure wouldnt wanna fuck her. Imagine if thats where Danny's alcoholism started from...LOL. Oh im sorry i shouldnt have made that joke.
