Thunderbird Club

[bobyoung53]

@bobyoung53 you staying safe these days?

We live in a pretty safe section of Lima, but this place is getting scary and the recent happenings sent me on a little historical search of Peru, now I'm even more scared. I can't really say much more than that, I like this place (TB) too much. Thanks for asking.

I used to do that song in a band, I love doing McCartney bass lines.

We had a gig tonight. Local VFW. At one point, 6 people left. That was 60% of our "crowd".(there was a banquet in the other room) They shoulda 86'ed us. Then again, we did get paid.

Paid rehearsal!

LOL - @JIO would be good either way with that under the tree. Bass or Bike, both work for him!

Me, too!

Joining the black pickguard with gold Thunderbird logo club.

Overstock in Singapore had one I watched, then they sent a reduced price (to US$29) offer so I took the risk and jumped on it.
<fingers crossed>

Pickguard For Gibson Thunderbird w Accurate Screen Gold Logo - Black | eBay

That’s the same one a number of us bought for our’15s from the same seller a few years back. You’ll like it. Welcome to the club!

I am taking Tuesday off work and waiting for the UPS truck until it arrives.

Very nice bike !

Thanks! I plan to! It's a cross-bike, a type I've never owned or ridden. Very similar to a road-bike, but with a slightly higher bottom-bracket, wider tyres and center-pull brakes. It's an "antique" (from '06) but in like new condition. A modern version would be all carbon (this one is aluminum/carbon), have disc-brakes, 26 gears (mine has 20) and electronic shifting... and cost close to 10k... This one is nowhere near that price.

Speaking of harp players.... Great album, buy the way. Talk about a band that had their own sound.

@Engle Appreciation Day it is

Irv made this unconventionnal-sized logo for my unconventionnal Bird. The thing plays/sounds better with it !
