Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[alaskaleftybass]

Fortunately, they were supplied backline so I didn't have to haul them around (the amp was mine, though). Frankly (or, otherwise ), I can't really say as I was wearing earplugs, or remember what they sounded like (remember GOF, here, with GOF ears). Just like, when folks ask me how this rig sounded.

This one made sense to me... great backline @Jeff Scott

I went to CCM in the mid '70s.

I left after four quarters...

...(they were still on that system at the time). I really did not care for the staff, there. I, subsequently, finish up my Technical Theatre program at The Ohio State University; great community there, with top notch profs and staff during that era (early '80s).

I was a transfer student as well. I started out at Miami U as a Math major. Still loved math (and still do), but I transferred to UC for Comp Sci.

Could you do that online?

The teacher was a hippie girl. Online was in the distant future. I liked the course, half the class would fall asleep at the end after relaxing their spleens. I don't know if I ever figured out how to do that one. It was quite a workout.

Love that cranked combo amp sound. I picture it on the verge of catching fire, wafting smoke and spitting sparks. A vocal straining to be heard, needing lubrication to ease the strain.

Blues Monday, Gospel Blues

My body has been a Wonderland...of disfunction...over the last 10 or 12 daze.

The nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) focused on the balls of my feet and numbing my toes completely, goes back to 2003. It's painful...a Good day is a 3 or 4 out of 10; this past week has been a 7 or 8...but I rarely limp as a result of it.

The last 6 months or so has seen the rise of Plantar Facetious, focused mainly on my left heel. I've been wearing a 'boot' during waking hours for the last week. That seems to stabilize it, and offers the extra padding one would expect.
I'm trying to stay off it, but there's just so much reading and movie watching a guy can do, and still consider it 'having a day'!

Yesterday was a long day that started early...about 6a...and ended at about 2p, when I FELL into bed...and slept for 20 hours, uninterrupted!!
I'm sure I've never done Anything like this before!!

I am Dazed and Confused...working on a cuppa at 11a!!!

...hard to 'have a day' when it starts That late!

I vaguely remember Something about a groundhog...and I slept right through the Supah Bowl...trying to avoid any mention of The Big Game...maybe I'll look for it after making dinner...or will it be lunch?!

I am thoroughly discombobulated.

...gonna try and have a day...

Man, I wish I could do that!

Happy Monday GOF's. We watched the Puppy Bowl and had finger food. Pretended it was our own Superbowl... lol. We especially love all canine tv shows. Last summer we got a whole bunch of sockeye salmon and smoked half of it. Carey took some smoked sockeye and made salmon dip. To die for! We had that with low carb crackers, lil' smokies, chips, plenty of Crystal Light raspberry tea.. to anyone else it would have been an incredibly dull party. But my wife is my partay animal and I loved it! Congrats to KC Chiefs.

I posted this on another thread but still want to share with you GOF's. I loved Tommy Bolin. My indigenous brother...

It's the aches and pains whut gives us that funky shuffle. And right in step, ran into my physical therapist today, and we're all good with that. A good PT is an angel.

Maybe, an early PRS with a Santana style headstock.

What kind of amp is that?

Passing out at night in pain and waking up early because of the pain is not easy to cope with.
