Not familiar with Fresher guitars but there is a Facebook page for them: Fresher Guitar

And I found a couple images. The second looks an awful lot like yours.

Ya, this must be mine - thanks!
Where is this photo from?

We will be playing all of those songs two nights in a row May 19,20 in Pt Angeles, WA it is almost 3 hours of music.

That's a workout! You go!

I don't have the capability to 'scan' our list of songs that we can play w/o music. There are some that a couple of us hafta use lyric sheets for*, but at last count, including some jazz and bossa nova standards for when we need to do a 'dinner' set, we have ~250 songs to choose from, depending on what the crowd wants to hear. We aren't doing a 'show', we're hired to play for dancing. Or, as I sometimes say-with apologies to Spike Jones-"Dinner music for people who aren't very hungry."

*what a drag it is getting old. Remember, "A mind is a terrible thing."

If you can remember most anything from 250 songs your mind is just fine. Can't speak for the rest of you, however.

There was an anti-drug campaign years ago that had the slogan "A mind is a terrible thing to waste", but some comic came up with the shorter version. I swiped it.

I think also that, or something close to it, was used as a "United Negro College Fund" (the then official title), ad promoting college for minorities even before the drug ad. But seeing those was decades ago and since I can't remember anything close to 200+ songs, I can't be sure of the wording from that old ad either.

I stole the pictures from the Fresher Facebook page.

Yer prolly right about the "UNCF" ad. My 'fogged up' brain seemed to recall it being drug related. Dunno why.

I'll take yer word for it. Only "sea food" I do is an occasional bowl of New England clam chowdah.

If someone was to ask me the notes/chords of most of the songs, I'd be scratching my head. I play by 'feeling' the intervals from one change to the next. Sorta by position. So, for example, when we did "Old Time R&R" w/ the saxman in the video, he does it in C, whereas I do it in G(lower voice). We just did 'our' arrangement but in his key. That's why he cracks up at our ending.

You call that lard? When I lived in Louisiana, the grocery stores sold it in 5 gallon buckets...ask for mayonnaise and you know what you got.

It's finally kind of nice here so I can get some time in walking and doing some light exercise, actually looking forward to it.

Another fantastic set list!

Things I won't be doing today............Have to work some extra days to cover for my assistant manager, so no Girl time this week - Not much Liver Demolition either, dammit.

Yes indeed. I wanted to run Ramble on right after Heartbreaker and Live in so that it would be just like the record. The guys wanted to split it up.
Am I the only one that hears a song on the radio and at the end of the tune my brain automatically goes to the next song on that particular album?

I do that all the time...... it's one of the reasons I like Spotify so much.
I can just play the whole album!
Problem solved

thought it was yours…..who posted the original pic? there can’t be many of those….

Seymour Duncan still makes/sells them.

It may very well have been tagged on at the end of the ad that had a skillet and egg. "This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs," as it fried in the skillet. I'm not certain as I didn't heed the ad warning back then....
