Thunderbird Club

Yes, it was, all drugs are legal here in Peru in small quantities for personal possession and we have a fraction of the problems of the U.S.
Reminds me of a great album from a great band from Texas... (The album wasn't bashing the place that gave them the opportunity to do what they did.)

This song below got a lot of air play around here.

Story: I and a friend got to spend the afternoon hanging out with one of the guitar players (Kim Davis), when they opened for Rossington Collins Band. He told us to say something to him at the show and he would try to get us backstage. My friend and I knew he seemed like a cool guy but figured he wouldn't pay any attention to us. But after they came off stage we were at the side barricade and he saw us and came over and started talking again like we were old friends. A crowd surrounded us and he said he needed to take a shower and would see if he could get us backstage. He came back out and said he couldn't get anyone to give him some passes. So the guy stood there talking with us until RCB came out to play. Because Kim was talking with us, we got to meet most everyone in in RCB. Got to shake some good hands and exchange words because of Kim. (Kim also played with Stevie Ray V in Blackbird early on.) The guy was just so nice and down to earth. Sadly I read he took his life in 2010.
 
you’d be surprised how many villages like these still thrive (in german) between chile and argentina, some until recently only accessible via rail…

In Brasil too, this place I visited on one of my many odysseys down there although I didn't have to fly to this one being it was in my family's home state, if one didn't know any better, they may think they were in an Alpine Village somewhere although they may get a tad suspicious when they hear the locals speaking Portuguese with a German accent :roflmao:

My uncle had to travel for International Harvester in the 70s as and engineer and trouble shooter, and he said there were no dirty streets (among other things). People took pride in their area and if trash was in front of their house or business they picked it up and didn't wait for someone else to do it. Same here in German Town area. The same small houses of equal age in other parts of town looked rundown and those in G-town literally looked new. Self-respect and not afraid of work...and work had to be done right.

did someone say international harvester? heres mine. '67 travellette 1200.

Hey all I was just getting ready to pull the pin an buy a new Epi Vintage Pro when a buddy sent me a CL listing for a 2013 IV Sunburst in mint condition. I know the Vintage is a better instrument but I can get this IV for 300 and it really is mint. Is the Vintage worth the extra 500? I was ready to spend it but now I'm wondering.
I hope you bought them both. They’re two different TBirds with different pickups and tone. $300 for a standard Epi IV is a decent price if it’s in very good condition.
