Thunderbird Club

So you're playing a show and someone's taking pictures and comes up right in front of you. What do you do? Look right at them? Smile? Look away?

I would likely keep playing as if they weren't there, but not try to seem rude about it. Might smile at them once to let them know I'm not a rectum and acknowledge their interest. I doubt there's a wrong answer unless they are sizing you up for their trunk or want pics for their stalker shrine wall at home.

So true. Forgot about that. Great reminder!

I just try to look busy and make sure I've got some nice undies on, 'cuz someone's likely looking up my skirt.

You need some that say, "What are you looking at?"

 

[Thumper]

Really hate to hear that, but am glad you seem to have a plan. Hopefully it will work really well for you.

No worries ya'll, like I've stated ad nauseum, I can play a 7.25 radius 1.75" nut, c shape neck as much as I want, so it's all good. I'm buying a roasted Fender Vintura P neck, black Gotoh Res-O-Lights and a drop D for the Goth.

And another new song. A drummer and a singer and a lead guitarist guesting, rest by me (or that O'Man man...).

I dig it! It's Beefheartian!

Which reminds me of a one of my favorite songs. The band are all great players and absolutely fantastic live. Make a dead man want to shake the bootie.

I noticed a few posts about Tiran Porter in Thunderbird Club, and while I haven't posted here in a while, here is Tiran posing with that gorgeous Thunderbird bass:

Cool - my roommate in the early '70s had a Wet Willy LP - this one I believe...
