Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[alaskaleftybass]

Here you are, Will. My eyes are dyslexic

​

Thank you kind Contessa. We practiced something similar-- called playing in a dark corner of a nightclub!

Good exercise!

Nope. Couldn't make it. That probably means Monday. At least I got the headphones yesterday. And, yeah, we got another 6 inches plus. Powder, so easier to clear than that heavy wet **** that came down a couple of days ago.

That was my edit above, not the autobot or a mod. Trying to keep the peace.

I use "[stuff]" to mean....uh,....you know.

Why would I use an emoji of Jabba the Hutt?

Thinking of you, @GonePlaid. Not Morphine (no bass guitar). But what a great name! Moon Hooch! Pretty much beyond description.

I've played a bass sax a coupla times. You kinda need an auxiliary air source pumped some into some convenient orifice() to be able to sustain those low notes. BTW, they run ~$25K new. Also they weigh about as much as a "fridge".

The times I played one, I was sitting and the bottom of the horn was on the floor. I was substituting for the tuba player who was gonna be outta town for an upcoming concert/TV appearance.

Geeze, what's the reed like on one of those? A piece of 1x4?

Nah. More like a tongue depressor.

A future happy Peavey T40 player.

Wonderful stuff! That's Higher Ground in So. Burlington. Great sound, fun stage to play! Here's hoping it survives COVID.

I have space if you need a place to store one of them! Of course from Peru, you would have to deliver or pay shipping.

They're in Mass but I'm still not paying shipping!

This may very well be my last bass for a very long time (at least until Tax Refund Time ).

That's a nice looking bass, and lefty basses to me always look exotic and more cool than their righty counterparts.

I'm glad my wife didn't see that. She has never seen a purse she didn't want.

That looks like a big club, is that on the street that runs down the hill toward the lake, forgot the name, it runs next to the common and across St Paul St. I think there used to be a disco or something on that street, maybe the same building?

Same street (Main St.) but way up the hill, near the fast food (and Al's French Fries). Higher Ground may have been in Winooski when you were here - moved around 2000. There was a club downtown on that street too. ...used to be Hunts, but turned into a dance (disco?) club before it caught fire. Now it's housing/offices.
