Biography


Pomeroy was born in Italy, the son of an American soldier, and spent his childhood and youth in various places. He credits a four-year-long stay in England in the early 1960s as an early musical influence and returned to the country in the mid-70s, when he moved to London to play in numerous local bands. In 1977 Pomeroy settled in Nashville. He was hired by rockabilly musician Sleepy LaBeef within a couple of weeks and went on tour with him for a year. In 1980 he joined Don Williams' touring band and stayed with him until 1994, when he stopped touring to concentrate on studio work, writing, and producing in Nashville. He founded his own label Earwave Music is 1989 and has released 12 CDs and 2 DVDs, available at www.davepomeroy.com.[1] He returned to Williams' band for his comeback tour in September/October 2010, and occasionally filled in with Williams through the end of 2014 .[2]


As a session musician Pomeroy contributed to albums not only by Williams and LaBeef, but also by such diverse artists as Trisha Yearwood, Emmylou Harris, Toby Keith, Neil Diamond, Billy Ray Cyrus, Tom Paxton, George Jones, Billy Joe Shaver, Shelby Lynne, Jon Randall, Brenda Lee, Gretchen Peters, Alan Jackson, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Earl Scruggs, Randy Scruggs, Duane Eddy, Allison Moorer, Steve Wariner, Asleep At The Wheel, Matraca Berg, Kathy Mattea, Larry Knechtel, Keith Whitley, Jesse Winchester and Alison Krauss. He is a featured artist on the "Nashville Acoustic Sessions" CD project, with Raul Malo, Rob Ickes and Pat Flynn, released by CMH Records in 2004.[3]
In addition to his long tenure with Don Williams, Pomeroy has performed in concert with artists such as Steve Winwood, Willie Nelson, Garth Brooks, John Hiatt, Ricky Skaggs, Adrian Belew, Peter Frampton, Lee Ann Womack, Patty Loveless, Reeves Gabrels, Duane Eddy, and many more.


His label, Earwave has released 12 albums and 2 DVDs of his own projects as solo artist, bandleader and producer. In the 1990s Pomeroy created The All-Bass Orchestra, with personnel ranging from 12 to 22 bassists playing the roles of an entire ensemble. The concert video "The Day The Bass Players Took Over The World," (originally released in 1996 on VHS on Earwave Records and re-released on DVD in 2014 with bonus material) featuring special guests Victor Wooten, Steve Bailey, Oteil Burbridge and Bill Dickens, brought attention to Pomeroy's concept of "all-bass music" as demonstrated on his solo projects "Basses Loaded" and "Tomorrow Never Knows." He has written dozens of articles for Bass Player magazine and has contributed to a number of books about music, including writing the forward for Jim Robert's book "American Basses."


Among his most recent projects are Three Ring Circle, an "acoustic jam band powergrass trio" with Rob Ickes and Andy Leftwich, and The Taproom Tapes, a live recording of collective improvisations featuring 14 of Nashville's musicians, including Jeff Coffin, Pat Bergeson, Johnny Neel and others. Three Ring Circle's second CD, "Brothership" was released on ResoRevolution Records in April 2011. He produced Restless, the first album of new material by Sweethearts of the Rodeo in over ten years, released in 2012. His third solo album, "Angel in the Ashes" was released in 2017 to positive reviews.


Pomeroy has been active in the Nashville community, raising over $300,000 for Nashville's Room In The Inn Homeless program with his annual "Nashville Unlimited Christmas" concerts over the past 20 years. Over the years, Pomeroy has become more and more involved in the musicians union as an advocate for working musicians. In December 2008, he was elected president of the Nashville-based Local 257 of the American Federation of Musicians, succeeding longtime president Harold Bradley.[4][5] In June 2010, he was also elected to the International Executive Board of the AFM for a three-year term and re-elected in 2013 and 2016.[6] In November 2011, Pomeroy was re-elected without opposition to a second three-year term as President of Local 257 and to third and fourth term in 2014 and 2017. He was one of the AFM leaders in the forefront of the effort to reform airline carry on policies for musical instruments, a process completed in December 2014. In addition to his AFM responsibilities, Pomeroy continues to record, write and perform in a variety of musical settings, including a new band with guitarist/songwriter Ricky Ray and drummer Rick Lonow called The Keemosabees.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
