Thunderbird Club

AC/DC - Back in Black. The only album you'll ever need to buy from them to hear what all their songs sound like.

I agree post Bon Scott, but their stuff was very interesting and rocked while he was alive and writing. They were more a rock n roll band than a rock band. I loved this band until he died. In fact if I could snap my finger and play in any band this would be a top contender, this still makes me want to jump out of my seat.

I've always loved Phil's drumming too.

I believe the sets in those days were completely different technologies and not compatible with US NTSC transmissions.

There were two standards - NTSC in N America and PAL elsewhere (IIRC). They were different resolutions and the conversion between them was time consuming and expensive.

Ok, I remember that now. I'm sure we were PAL.

The HMV image is trademarked here by RCA and has been since the early days of recordings in the early 1900's.

Yes. From wiki:

His Master's Voice (HMV) was the name of a major British record label created in 1901 by The Gramophone Co. Ltd.[1] The phrase was coined in the late 1890s from the title of a painting by English artist Francis Barraud, which depicted a Jack Russell Terrier dog named Nipper listening to a wind-up disc gramophone and tilting his head.[2][3] In the original, unmodified 1898 painting, the dog was listening to a cylinder phonograph.

The painting was also famously used as the trademark and logo of the Victor Talking Machine Company, later known as RCA Victor.

Agree 100%. Most of their live material right up til the end was drawn from the Bon era

We have wild turkeys in Mass, they've proliferated over the last years, especially the last five or ten. They're still not common but they're are a lot more around than when I was a kid.

We get magpies, cockatoos, lorikeets, kookaburras and miners. Love them all except the miners.
Another couple of birds that are around here but rarely seen are the Bellbird and the Lyrebird.

The local hospital has a new building which has a Lyrebird logo on the side.

Evidently the local indigenous people, the Dharawal (or Tharawal) have the Lyrebird as their totem.
Which is interesting (to me) as their country reaches to the coast down through the Illawarra (Wollongong) region and the totem there is the Humpback Whale.

George had a good three years of pent up material. It seemed to be "next time George" until the final break up. They were wary of the religious overtone in the songs. Paul started slowly, but hit his stride with Band On The Run as John did with Imagine. Ringo was, well Ringo. It Don't Come Easy was the first song I played in front of an audience at the Junior High talent show. Good times.

IIRC, post break up, Ringo earned the most money. He was industrious - always a project on the go with all the friends he had made along the way. And was the conductor at Shining Time Station; a role later filled by George Carlin.

The signs out here use llamas or Alpaca instead of pigs.

The standard should be expressed in Joey Ramones.

I agree and punk is fairly big here.

Mark Evans in 2018 who was the bassist until mid 1977 and played on those tunes above.

I better not bring our pigs then. Bobby Bacon and Charlie Chops would not appreciate that.

Well, as long as we are discussing old bass players who played Thunderbirds...

And I'll up the ante with:

'Well, Glee … it's uh … 3/4 good, and 1/4 not very nice!'

The way it should be. Unless you have extra-long monkey arms.

All I really know about her is that she was baseball star Alex Rodriguez's girlfriend for some time. I understand he dodged a bullet on that one.

Well, she used to look really good walking away. Not so much now. Actually, too much now.

Cures buckle rash too.

You could end up with a different sort of rash...

Can I bring our two pigs?

What the hell?
