Just turned 68 last week myself
69 next week.
75 is a major accomplishment! I make 71 next week, which amazes me...maybe I'll catch you.
Yup. Keep this close to remind me!Happy birthday. Hold on tight, the down hill ride only gets faster and faster.
The 3/4 Century Mark is something to celebrate heartily. Congratulations.
I agree! I'm working on mine too. January 24.![]()
WHAT??? You said "nano". That mixer is big-time and 12" cabs for mixing. Now, I don't know what to call mine:

All fingers and toes accounted for, all limbs in proper order and all the squishy bits in the middle working more or less as expected. That's good 'cause I've forgotten if I filled out the warranty when I signed on for this ride. Wonder if my Emerald Club perks expired?

Got my broken tooth fixed this afternoon, now watching the Women's British Open, plan to watch it tomorrow and Sunday, too. Bass playing at some point, too.
Will, take care of yourself. Even the possibility of Covid scares me witless.
Yours looks nicer than mine!

I dunno here, one guy talking about the size of another guy's nano...don't seem right, is all.Yes, it is great when so many thoughts align and encourage productive discourse. But, I still believe that your nano is much bigger than you profess....
Amen, brother. I see the reporting on the fires every day in the papers, but with everything else that's been going on for almost four years now, plus the pandemic that never quite leaves one's mind, I forget about that horrible situation too easily.On another topic, my heart goes out to those here in California who are affected by the fires.
It's not only the virus, it's the devastating fires that have killed many and forced others from their homes and those who have lost their homes.
We are living in some strange times. I am hoping for some return to normalcy but do not see anything close to that coming for some time. I pray that all this will end soon.
Most of the guys in the band I was in with him were "lead" singers, and they actually were all quite good, sad to say.Same here, except our rhythm guitarist (who refused to get an amp of his own, thus mooching off anybody he could) was our lead singer, too.
You, too, eh?Of course I was absolutely brilliant as a 17-year-old...![]()
Those were fun times, indeed, for me.IDK, if I remember correctly, I was taught a few things by some teenage girls. Some more "worldly" than myself...but those are stories for another time.

64?Everything accounted for, over here. Been working on getting the SO's Roland EP-9 back working again; right now its in a thousand pieces all over the basement. May do the "drive-through" Greek Festival this weekend. This afternoon I took our ancient Junghans mantel clock to a guy to see about getting it CLA'd and whatever it needs to make the Westminster chimes work properly, again.

I have a Beatles birthday coming up in a few weeks. Wish me luck!![]()
