So when are we getting more than a tease shot of your (new?) Electra bass? Curious minds want to know!

Have been pretty busy at work and will continue for a few weeks as we remove and remodel a section of my showroom.
The weekend flew by, I played the Outlaw and the '64 yesterday afternoon for about 2 hours - helps maintain what little sanity I'm hanging on to! I'll shoot some detail pics soon, it's really a very cool bass, I'm enjoying it quite a lot.

I got this fabulous blue/purple sequin dress yesterday! :woot:

For clarification - Pom or Pommie is Australian slang for an English immigrant. Modestly offensive. Perhaps wordicification (is that a new word?) of the abbreviation PoME - Prisoner of Mother England. I don't understand why they would make fun of the newly arrived criminals as all the Aussies got there on prison ships anyway... ;)

Her, Chrissy, Stevie Nicks and the Wilson sisters opened my ears up to female singers.

One of my favs is Lisa Dalbello. Heart did a version of her song "Wait For An Answer" and there was another one too IIRC. Queensryche covered her maybe biggest hit "Gonna Get Close To You".
Amazing singer, songwriter and musician.
From Canada, of course.

To those who offered support following my unexpected layoff from my employer due to a "reduction in force" aka RIF two months ago, I give you my heartfelt thanks. Today was was my last official day working for them. They did me a favor. After several interviews and negotiations with prospective employers, I accepted a better job today than the one I had. Thanks to all who were there for me and offered support in a very stressful time. It means a lot. And it is what this club is all about. Friendship and support. This club rocks!

That's fantastic. So very glad things have worked out in that you are free from a crappy place and can hopefully enjoy your work until you decide retire. As I said before, their loss. I'm sure I can speak for everyone, that to celebrate you should buy another Thunderbird. I personally suggest a '64!

Forgot this.
As I was thinking your "rainbow is overdue." One of my fav BC songs. (Not the name of the song.)
