Wanted that sparkly blue Kustom so much
Saw a Kustom on the local CL but it was the black tuck and roll

There was a prison band that performed at our high school once. Stage full of matching blue sparkle Kustoms - it was awesome.
They could play too!

.....Good luck with the surgeon.....
I hope that you've told him/her that you're a Contessa and therefore deserve extra special treatment....

She (the surgeon) has been very matter-of-fact in all our encounters, even in the presence of a nobby wood goat-monkey
Many babies seem to be born around this time of the year in the 40's and 50's. What is it about May/June?
Should people privately celebrate their conception day as well as their birth day?

May and June are wedding months. Add a candlelit anniversary dinner and see what's for dessert.
My first giggable rig was a black Kustom 200 with a 2 vertical x15 JBL D140 cab. Sounded really good but not loud enough. Picked up a Sunn 2000s and JBL 2x15 cab when they first came out.Wanted that sparkly blue Kustom so much

@Morrighan I know it is early, but...

I once was loaned a 200 watt Kasino bass combo, the cousin to Kustom. It was very cool. Very tall and narrow. The amp weighed a ton but rolled on wheels. It did get pretty loud for my needs. In the early 70's I was in a commune of Jesus People and played in a Jesus band and we were given all kinds of cool equipment by better off Christians to try out. Often the items were gifted to us.
The Kasino bass amp was cool. I think I could have kept it but I left the Christian commune and band to return to the U of W. I think this is the amp I used-- I borrowed the picture from @Ric Vice .

Everybody raves about the CTS in the Ampeg B-15's. I would have much rather had JBL's. The best thing about the Kustom was reliability - it never let me down. It sounded okay to a point, but it wouldn't get loud enough for me either without major fartout. It would have definitely benefited from a HPF, but we didn't have such things back then...

Rutting season?.....
Belongs in the thread down the street, but close counts for GoFs.

Rockabilly is where it's at if you want toe tapping fun. This stuff is great live. All I Can Do I Cry is a B side released in 1956 by Wayne Walker. Holds up after 64 years.
Wayne Walker wrote a classic slow dance Elvis song, Are You Sincere. Wayne teamed up with Jimmy Lee Fautheree for a few records. Jimmy Lee formerly worked with Johnny Mathis. You can hear the country influence in their rockabilly.
