It’s my Dorothy’s 69th birthday today. I woke up in horror as I had forgotten to buy her a Birthday card. Snook out early to Walmart and picked one up. It had two snakes on the front one holding a guitar and singing. The other asking “How are you holding the guitar?” She liked it! On her desk I placed the card and her gift, a pair of diamond studs. She liked them too. :)

For our birthday supper we are making a fine winter stew. I wanted to take her to our favourite restaurant but our server isn’t working today so we didn’t go.

Sounds like a good balance and true alignment.

That reminds me of this photo that I have printed many times for Janet Macoska (among lots of other great photos of her's). :)

One of my sons took a part time job in a department store. A customer came in and, when he offered his credit card, my boy saw that his name was Sausage. When he called him Mr. Sausage he replied “Is saw sarg!” :)

Back in the late '80s, when I was at BelAir Camera & Hi FI in Westwood, a customer came in and my cohort, David, and I took care of him; the guy ended up buying over $8K in Hasselbald gear ("...for my wife who dabble in flower photography..."). When said customer presented his AMEX card to David, he looked at it, then asked the customer "Are you related to that guy who writes those books?" The name on the card was Stephen King! :roflmao: Yes, it was he. :thumbsup:

Christmastime in Rory Gallagher's old digs. Coffee good.

Nice! Does the street sign indicate trucks no right turn? Or is it everyone.

Brian May of Queen tells a story of how he got his sound. He was a kid and would talk to Rory at a blues club. Rory could get all types of sounds out of his Stratocaster. Rory explained that it was a Dallas Rangmaster treble booster going into a cranked VOX AC30. Manipulating the overload of the input helped him control his amp’s sound and let it sing. Brian went out and bought the rig and there was his sound. Brian wrote Tie Your Mother Down, inspired by Rory.

Saw Rory at Hammersmith Odeon.....:thumbsup:

I remember his bass player more than him though.....
Ridiculous macho poses better suited to metal.....Huge hair.....Flairiest pair of flairs in the history of flairs and silver stack heel boots....

He couldn't half play though.....:D

You can clearly see that he's plugged into a Fractal Audio modeler, not sure where things go from there though. He was an AxeFX endorser for years and a Mesa guy before that. Looks like he's back into tube amps these days (no idea which ones though), but with a huge pedalboard.

Long a friend of cats, insomuch as a cat permits. Poodles are only dogs in a technical, taxonomic sense. "Friend of dogs" needs better technical clarity for that reason.

I have no knowledge of Cats. I’ve never owned one and likely never will.

As for Poodles they are a wonderful, faithful and regal breed. Just don’t cut their fur in that dreadful Poodle cut!
