A couple of my fave pictures.........
This one always reminds me that I'm very lucky. Somehow I'm in a band with nice, like minded people, we're all friends, we all love to play music. Over the past 12 years we've managed to make a good name for ourselves - it's the realization of a teenage aspiration come to life.
I'm very fortunate to get to do this........
My bandmate Ginger and I, she's an amazing person!

I'm partial to Glen Morangie myself. But, being adaptable is good.

I'm tellin' ya! Come on down, play some Thunderbirds and we can visit Scotch & Vine!
Glen Morangie is my house scotch (the one I have lying around in case I or a guest want a wee dram).
There was no specific addressee, so I am assuming an open invitation...

There are basses, and there are Thunderbirds!
On a the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
...six golden Birds.
That would make a cool logo...

I don't really drink scotch/whiskey, but for our Highness I would make an exception... :

I'm slacking. That offer has been on the table for months, and I'm still blowing it! Plus, my small flock of 'Birds really needs to encounter a more colorful flock of 'Birds.

Thanks for sharing that thoughtful reflection. It is no small feat to have been involved in a creative/business endeavor, for over a decade, and that you and your bandmates are all still friends. Whether you are playing arenas, bars or basements, you are still dealing with human nature. It can be a challenge to find the right mix of temperaments (egos) AND all be on a similar page in terms of musical tastes and ambitions. There are so many variables besides talent. I am curious - were you and some/all of your bandmates friends before forming The Nasty Habits? I am always in awe of the brave folks that answer a "rock'n combo needs bass player" ad and have it work out for them.A couple of my fave pictures.........

Day 6, throwback to small rig Halloween gig. Don't let it fool ya, this little setup sounded FAT with the Bird sending a hot signal.

That looks a lot like my little Carvin rig. It isn't big or rated for huge power, but it is plenty loud enough and has enough headroom that it still sounds good cranked up.

Consider it an open invitation..........Thunderbirds and/or Scotch, you guys are all the toast!
Nasty Habits for entertainment? Ok, that sounds a little cheeky

One of you needs to get that done on a butt cheek - for Christmas.
I'm certain your spouse will approve
