Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[G-Dog]

Dag nab-it is a way of saying gall darn it, etc. without sinning. I would argue that the intent was there in the mind without actually saying the words.

U Thant was mentioned in the movie, he took over from Dag Hammarskjold as secretary general after Dag died in a plane crash while travelling on a diplomatic mission.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! ​

Give this man a prize! Sorry, but thanks to the tanked schmackeroons market, I'm fresh out of prizes myself. I know! How 'bout a T.B. Player retrospective?

How about an added musical moment.

How about an added musical moment.

I watch the stances and dances that these younger bass players do and realize I could do that once then somebody else would hafta finish the night.

Those moves are for kids. I split the backside my pants only once on stage. Once was enough. We’ve all heard of bringing backup gear, it never hurts to bring a change of cloths. I tend to slop up my shirt more than anything though.

I've never understood what was wrong with just standing there and playing your instrument.

Ants in your pant can make you jump around. So can uppers.

It reminds me of a product called a chair stick, a combination cane and a chair pad that you can lean your bum on. The one I saw was at Walmart.

Wait. What's wrong with that?!

If your bass rig is the right size, you can sit on it, a friend told me.

Difficult, but probably not impossible, to carry your oxygen bottle.

Difficult, but probably not impossible, to carry your oxygen bottle.

There are walkers for that...take it from one who knows, from last year. Thankfully, I recovered from my pneumonia, got rid of the walker and oxygen. I have my meds and my handicap placard...just have to keep away from that virus because that would be lights-out .

Staying at home except for curb-side pickup, playing some bass and hoping for better days !

Right, made the Dag Hammarskjold connection after a brief detour through some neural pathways where I saw a copy of Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki. That means I was five years old.

When I was a kid (still am, actually) I made a model of the raft out of toothpicks.

Mine doesn't have that back rest, now I feel cheated.

BTDT a few times when some stages we played on wasn't big enough to fit the bassist onto (after the guitarist took up half the stage for himself).....

200c is just about right for me.

Those folding seat sticks were popular with the horse show set in the 60s. They always feel uncertain as a place to rest. More of a thing to park your bum.

Both my rigs are a decent height for my bum but haven't tried. Excelsior!

Some mellow Brazilian music for a late Monday night:

 

[the harp unstrung]

My beloved nephew made a Lot of lemonade out of the lemons the Universe has handed him (and then came Covid-19 to cancel ALL the plans!) as he struggled to get married last month.
It came off!
It was beautiful.
The entire family will gather up next June.

The happy couple...30ish.., owns a turntable...and ‘about 10’ records.

My job is to double the size of their collection.

First on the list...Jason Isbell’s latest, Reunions.
Next comes Grand Funk Live, then the Grateful Dead’s Europe ‘72.

I get bogged down there.

Music From Big Pink, or Levon Helms’ Dirt Farmer?

Your thoughts are welcome.

 

[GwenOnBass]

Jane Fonda's Workout is only VHS so how about Santana Abraxas.

 

[GwenOnBass]

If he was 40 then, he's GOF age today

If only one, get this vinyl.

I didn’t know that they had music to help soothe the pain.
