Thought you chaps and chapesses might like this, my take on the non reverse t bird. There's a build thread for it over in luthiers corner if you're interested.

You run the risk of that becoming your new permanent deal, regardless of season.
Very true. That would have to be the agreement only while patrons were down and once something objectively close to normal was achieved that deal would end. But you are certainly right--some would take advantage of that offer if not careful.

A former boss and mentor always told me, be careful what you say "yes" to because it will expected from then on and permanently become your job. Wise advice.

Exactly!

And any temporary pay cut you agree to will become permanent.

As Milton Friedman said - There is nothing as permanent as a temporary government program.
 
I remember playing those in stores when they came out. Don't remember a thing about them, other than likely should have bought one. Then again, they didn't stand out to me at the time, apparently. Would love to try one again.
iirc, heavy, somewhat tone limited (they shipped with flats) and expensive….
sexy as heck though…
 
A smooth drink? I thought Aussies were a rough lot of brigands and criminals, not refined like the UK. :smug:

(Geoff knows I'm totally kidding about the bad stereotype from previous conversations.)

:thumbsup: It must be my personal refinement as a descendant of both convicts in Oz and slaves elsewhere. :laugh:

at least that is an Irish Whiskey and not from the UK. :laugh:
(he says ducking even though it is accurate).

UK refined?…..:roflmao::laugh:

Just ask them :laugh:
 
Really hate to hear that. Where will all the groupies go?

Could/would y'all consider playing for free but get tips and a few drinks? I like playing enough I'd be dumb enough to play for free.
If all we had to do was walk in, plug in and play, maybe. But we provide all amps, PA-including mics/stands, and drums. Not worth our time. There are no back lines or house PA's any where around here. At least not in places our music(60s-70s covers)would fit.

AFA "groupies", back to the assisted living facility.
