Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[GonePlaid]

This is an audio grab off of a video my BIL shot with his phone. From ~4 years ago, my current group doing Booker T and the MG's "Time is Tight" on a gig. There was a retirement party going on-lotta audience chatter. There's an interesting detail about the song I'll describe in a second post(since I don't know how to do "spoilers").

We don't have a keyboard player. That's one of our guitarists playing through an EHX B9 Organ simulator.

Cool. I wonder how a bass would sound through that box. Is that the one that's now broken?

No telling. In the promos, they say it works for guitar or piano but they don't have any examples of a piano in their demo videos. I have a kinda POS piano, but if I knew what the box could do, it might be worth the investment.
Yes.

Um. Get out much?

It's probably why I don't get out much, these days!

yes, yes it does, like medicine cures our ills.

A flash of inspiration ignited by alcohol is best ignored, I find.

Quite alright to jot it down, but do not initiate until clearer head the following morning. Does make for funny reading the next day however.

C'mon now, we all know the flash that follows the phrase "Here, hold my beer" is always inspired.

This is the sort of thing often learned the hard way.

Technology is great; when it works.

Technology may very well be the death of us all when AI learns too much and too well (think Skynet). The US, China and probably Russia have tested / are testing autonomous drones that have successfully found their air and ground targets. I hope they've successfully incorporated Issac Asimov's Rules of Robotics.

Yes, when AI learns that some of us are artificially intelligent, that will be very interesting...

It makes so much sense now

I do my best work when I have no distractions. I solve problems when I can sit back and float off in a tranquil state and think. Then all I have to do is write it all out in the morning.

 

[GwenOnBass]

No mind solving problems. Documenting what I did is all buer
