Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[GonePlaid]

With nothing on underneath? I don't like wool anyway but I never wore it again after playing all night in a hot sweaty club with wool next to my skin all night, it fit me like a glove though and looked good but I will only do so much for fashion.

Well, we had to wear high neck Tees and Skivvies were a real good idea.

Disco is still played on the radio here, I've heard most of their tunes here at one time or other which is one of the reasons I started listening to SiriusXM again.

W/O SiriusXM and LSUG, I'd go nuts(er).

 

[bobyoung53]

Yeah, 15 other guys and I used to wear that to all our gigs. USN Unit Band 186, USS Yorktown[CV(S)-10]and, 2nd cruise, USS Enterprise[CVA(N)-65]. Later shore duty, 6th Naval District Band, USNAB, Charleston, SC. No, I didn't make chief-MU2.

The closest I ever came was wearing that top.

I have 14 channels saved as favorites and you can see what is playing on each channel simultaneously so I practice to it, picking and choosing songs as they come up.

Ah. I only have it in the car.

BTDT, too!

Our first gig!

Hey, buddy! You're playing the wrong chord, here!!! It's an Asus, not a D, dude! Note the Asus double-stop I'm playing.

Edit: adding some music theory...

I have never had a problem with the edges on mine, course it's been so long since I bought my first one I can't remember, I do know I had trouble with the stupid cap in the bridge pickup circuit though.

I only notice it when I’m sitting. The round over makes a lot of sense though.

It's pretty cheap if you have it in the car, I do too and it's a hundred bucks a year for online access. I bought a lifetime subscription when I bought a car in 2008, 400 bucks.

If you paid taxes on band earnings, you could deduct the uniform.

Oh, one of the biggest reasons I avoid the radio here is Reggaeton, if you've never heard it consider yourself lucky.

The 4003S's are like that too, I want a new Ric but can't decide between a 4003 and a 4003S.

Your shirt indicates good signal strength.

As stated, our "uniform"/signature is Aloha shirts and either black or khaki pants or shorts. One gig we were asked to be more "formal". We don't all have suits, so we wore black pants/white shirts. Same as the wait staff. "No, sir, I can't get you coffee, I'm in the band". Last time we do that.

What earnings? BTW, I get the shirts @ Goodwill, $3.69 each.

Ah. I only have it in the car.

I only "pay" for it in my car, but you down also listen on your other devices. When I renewed last month (you need to call them and tell them that you are cancelling, that is how I get a low monthly rate), I confirmed that with my basic in-car plan, I can listen on my phone or laptop...no additional costs!

That’s a great price. I see that they sell matching masks.

I need a Hawaiian shirt so I can do inversions but ain't going to join the navy

Maybe, you can find a suitable shirt at Old Navy?

 

[GwenOnBass]

What I did do this week was come into the care of a pair of Fender "medium" pick earrings glammed up with guitar string. Maybe good for a few open inversions a night!



I asked the lady who makes them if she has any plans for bass clef. She replied she hasn't found anything suitably fetching yet (paraphrase). Great folks to deal with and learned of them here at TB Repurposed Guitar String Jewelry

The problem, if viewed as a problem, is nobody can see my earrings when I wear my hair down.
