2501.0. "Tinsley Ellis" by KDX200::COOPER (Step UP to the RACK !) Mon Apr 13 1992 19:27

Okay,  who has seen this guy ??

Us Colorado Springers got a chance to see Tinsley and his band at
Tres Hombres in Woodland Park Saturday.  He cranked. 

My only complaint was he was WAY too loud.  Had a "The Twin" on 10
(I looked :).  Trust me, if *I* think it was too loud, then it was
pretty damn loud.  :)  Also, the club (I use the term loosley) was way
to small for him to have his PA, so he used his board and rack thru 
the house system (a pair of Ramsa 1x12 monitors suspended from the ceiling.

He did some original stuff, covered Stevie Ray, BB King, and some CCR.
He sez "Yeah, I remember Al's Pumphouse" - good memory.  

He may still be in town too, as he dropped his vans tranny on the ground 
in downtown WP !!  :(

So what's the scoop on this guy?  Is he local (to the Springs/CO area) or from
elsewhere?  A guy I was with picked up the CD that night, and there were 3 
other disks listed by Tinsley on the same label.  I'd never heard of him before
Coop told me about the gig two weeks ago.

Too bad about the tranny...

P.S.  He _was_ smokin'!  But like Coop said, much too loud (especially for
Tres!)
