Music Man Silhouette
Poutine Pop #4
After an election-and-other-stuff-induced hiatus, Poutine Pop is back! In this series, I explore music from Montreal artists of yore, attempting to bring to light those that have been long forgotten, or chronically underappreciated. Hopefully it piques your interest in the featured artists as well as your urge to walk down to your local record shop to buy their album(s).

A man walks on to the stage of a dingy club. He stops in front of a microphone positioned at centre and turns towards the audience; his head and shoulders slump forward, his eyes close. He stands unsteady under a single spotlight. Behind him, in the dark, another man walks on to the stage. He sits down at an old piano, raises the lid and waits. The man at the microphone does not look well. He hunches over at the waist and grabs for the top of the microphone stand with his left hand to keep himself upright. His right arm hangs limp at his side. His head slowly droops further, eventually resting at the crux between the forearm and bicep of his bent left arm. With his face now pressed against cotton jersey, he begins to rock up and down on the balls of his feet. From the audience, the singer's hair, greasy and thinning and pressed flat against his head, looks like seaweed pasted against a rock recently exposed by low tide. He starts to sweat. Small beads form on the tops of his hands; a dark stain slowly spreads across the chest of his mustard-coloured turtleneck. He cocks his head to the side, opens his eyes and, with a blank stare, looks out to the couple of tables at the right corner of the stage. Three people gawk back with awkward expressions that give him a perverse pleasure - the mixture of surprise and fear plastered across their faces signal that it's time to begin. The man's body snaps to life, his posture suddenly erect and tense, his previously dead right arm now held aloft and rigid. He looks into the darkness at the back of the club, sees the pulsing orange glow from a cigarette being inhaled and, as if it too were a signal, takes a deep breath inward. His hand drops down to his waist and he begins to sing:
Tout homme qui se tient debout...
On the second syllable of "debout," a stage light turns on above the piano player, illuminating a frizz of red hair sitting atop a droopy face. His very large hands begin to attack the keys in a hard accented tango-like rhythm. The audience, still taken aback by the sudden change in mood, slowly begins to clap and cheer in recognition of the song.

Instead of 76 trombones, we will march to a different drummer from the Music Man: “Shi-Poo-Pi! Shi-Poo-Pi! Shi-Poo-Pi! Shi-Poo-Pi! Instead of the “girl that's hard to get,” our minds will chant “the respect that's hard to get.
And attitudes in the 21st century are so much more open to the idea that hard and soft can coexist in one man's spirit and in his wardrobe. The dichotomy was perfectly expressed at the Lanvin show on Sunday. It started with martial music and tough
“We build up for a fake championship thing,” Rafael Pimentel, the guitarist for Silhouette Lies, said. “We were even thinking about having a fake belt that the bands could compete for.” Pimentel grew up watching wrestling and said that the motivation
As the singer reaches the end, the sweat stains on the front of his turtleneck have morphed into a silhouette of Mickey Mouse - one large circle over his belly attached to two smaller circles covering both nipples. His navy slacks have turned a shade
The wood had discolored to create a silhouette of a woman's face. I don't recall the room number, but the hotel staff told me at the time that a woman had died in that room. On my return visit, I saw that the doors had been repainted.
Music Man Silhouette - 12fret.com : The Twelfth Fret, Guitarists ...
When I think of the term super strat, this is the guitar that comes to mind. When I think of my days of youth cutting my neo-classical teeth on a beat up Fender Japan Strat modded to the nines, I really could have used the 24 frets that comes stock on this model. The Silhouette has been a longtime go-to guitar for players like Keith Richards, Ron Wood, Albert Lee, Steve Morse, Chris Poland and many more. This is the one that really got the company in the favor of all the pros, famous and infamous alike. The neck is very much like a shaved down modern âCâ shaped profile with medium fret wire. The radius is super flat and very shred friendly. The real beauty here is that this guitar is available in a dizzying amount of combination’s. The one pictured here is a gem and a pinnacle of versatility. The body is a vividly grained alder with a gorgeous vintage burst and finished with a faux tortoise shell pickguard. The electronics come to us from the amazing people at DiMarzio who lovingly wound some custom pick-ups for this model. They are loosely based on a PAF style tone with a little smackdown on the bottom end. They are super versatile and have enough spunk to go from uber clean to downright nasty. The Musicman vintage modern bridge features some heavy duty saddles that add a ton of chunk to the sound while working with the two pivot point trem to keep everything in tune. The Schaller locking machine heads really help to keep things from going south in the tuning department. The layout is very basic and utilitarian. This very combination echoes the hot-rodded guitars of Steve Vai, Steve Morse, Scott Henderson and Allan Holdsworth yet still keeps a firm grasp of vintage sensibility. I owned a guitar that was very similar to this very modelâ¦only mine was tricked out with my draconian touch and flair for Darth Vader-like fashion sense. It was my main go-to guitar for my cover band work and playing this specimen really has me thinking as to why I let my beloved âDarthâ go. It now lovingly finds its residence with a good friend of mine in Montreal who claims that the guitar makes him set new land speed records when heâs out gigging with his band. Its funny how this voodoo thing works isnât it?
