Thunderbird Club

I remember the Walker Brothers but was not aware that Scott was a famous solo artist in England.

I only knew of "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" by the Walker Brothers and back when it was new I thought it was the Righteous Brothers. I heard a eulogy on NPR when he died 3 yrs ago March 25th and dived head-first into his decades long career. He's since become my favorite musical artist.

It did, it sounded just like the Righteous Brothers, I'll check out some of his stuff.

There's a box set (5 Classic Albums) of his post WB's solo work - Scott/Scott 2/Scott 3 (my fave)/Scott 4/'Till the Band Comes In, a few mixed genre '70s recordings, and his '80-'90s-'00s avaunt guard work which is difficult but amazing material. I consider him aligned with Picasso and Miles Davis as artists who were courageous and groundbreaking.
 
Honestly, I can’t decide which I like better.
But so agree on the complex evolution
of Saul.

Currently on my 3rd viewing of BCS. Finished BB for the 4th time a few weeks ago. Hope to have BCS S5 wrapped up by this weekend (currently in middle of S4, so I have some work to do) for BCS S6 premiere on Monday!

speaking of brothers….featuring some Gibson slappage….
 
Glenn Cornick of Jethro Tull also played several Gibson Thunderbird basses in both reverse and non reverse bodies, but some of them were stolen while on tour in 1970.

Ian Anderson also owned a Gibson Thunderbird bass that he used on the song Jack In The Green from Songs From The Wood, and on the Stormwatch album. I believe John Glascock owned a Gibson Thunderbird too, or maybe it was rented or borrowed.

Latifa sleeps on the bed pretty much every night, snores often, sometimes like a sawmill which is quite funny considering her size. Quite often she will curl herself up near me as I sleep on my side in the fetal position, it's the sweetest thing. i got her an automatic feeder for her AM chow so she gets up when she likes now - I sleep badly enough!

I was going to suggest that your cat has a moustache, but really it is a van dyke. So your cat bears a resemblance to Lenin...

Hmm, that Glascock pic looks very familiar...;)

Glenn Cornick actually used only a Reverse II with Tull and it was stolen. The Non-Reverses were used with Wild Turkey.
