Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[bobyoung53]

I'll keep wishing you the best, Bob. You deserve it.

Thank you, that's very nice, maybe not true though.

What year Cherokee? I like the old ones but they're all nice.

A Jeep without the 7-slot grill? Never seen one before.

One season. 39 episodes. '55-'56. I was 5. More into the Cisco Kid and Lone Ranger.

Gleason's follow-up show, American Scene Magazine, (the live one that moved to Miami Beach in '64) was great. His "Joe the Bartender" skits with Frank Fontaine ("Crazy" Guggenheim) were special. One monologue I'll never forget was interrupted by none other than Jimmy Durante. Jackie's girls brought out another director's chair and a drink for him. Jimmy talked about just arriving from Chicago, where'd he met an amazing new talent, with measurements of 48-24-36. Gleason got a little bug-eyed and asked what she did. Dead-pan, Jimmy answered "she crawls out on stage and tries to stand up." Gleason just f'ing lost it! Geez, but live TV back then could be fun!

I saw them when they were reruns, I used to watch whatever my mother put on, except for the Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy etc. I remember Queen for a day, I can still hear that theme song in my head, Queen for a day, who will it be..... haha!

I think that was a first year '74.

Jeep Wagoneers were nice too:

ah there you go, have you worked that theme song into a bass line?!

Some comedians adopt a filthy mouth for their live shows. I find it boring to sit through juvenile swearing laced lines that serve no purpose. The local comedy fest rates shows for language, for some they pitch shows for people that want to hear extreme language. Obviously there are those that get off on that.

Not much to that bass line. I've always wanted to play the Munsters theme but am too lazy to learn it note for note.

Here's a terrific GOF sendoff to start the weekend. A dais loaded with famous GOFs. A famously drunk GOF roasting The Jackster himself! Enjoy!

Probably an MKIII:

60 watt mono tube amp, I had one years ago, nice amps. I think Sunn used them for their first bass amps.

I almost got two of those instead of the ST70 back in the day. I am very happy with the Dynaco stuff I have now especially after moving it to a better listening room.

I've been looking at pairs of those on ebay too, got to stay away from there. I had an MC30 at one point, it was the nicest sounding amp I've ever heard, I toy with buying a pair but they're expensive.

That is correct, Sunn did use them.

Ebay can be trouble particularly if you've been drinking. That's a contributing reason to why I have the particular B15 I have now but I'm not complaining.

Love Rodney!

Give me a working B15 cheap, and I will be happy, too.

They used to be affordable. Not so much now.

Sitting in the office* having a petite syrah and listening to the '70s station on the radio. Nice day today, too. Sun, a few clouds, mid-70s.

Just like me. Sitting in my "orfice", having a chardonnay, enjoying the banter on TB with the odd urge to play bass...life is good. Feeling sorry for those working folks in the commute.
