They look like foxes... not bunnies! (yum!)

Not foxes or bunnies. The Bilby is a native Australian animal.

Cute! A little rodent-like (as bunnies are) but the ears help!

Yes, the lesser Bilby is believed extinct so there was a movement about a dozen years ago to adopt them (the greater Bilby) as an Easter thing. Money from the sale of the chocolate Bilbies goes to preservation projects

great pic!

Thanks. I'm just glad he's still around for me to take one.

 

[dagrev]

As much as I'd like one - I can't imagine it sounding better than my 30w B15N Porta-Flex head. I'm trying to cut down on redundancy.

I can't either. Few things, very few things will sound as good as your B15N.

Though he didn't have a great last couple of days, Grady felt like a short walk on the greens this evening.

Just can't get him to poop in the little built in dog toilets. Even have them marked with flags, but he's too interested in other things.


(I would not actually let him go on the course.)

What a beautiful photo!
You should have that printed and framed so you can always be reminded of the wonderful life and companionship you’ve each given each other.

Dragons & Bilbies… on a beautiful Easter Sunday in the Southern Hemisphere.
Happy Easter to you all

Did you publish a book?

Ha! Not me, just a Geoff coincidence.

but the subject matter is why I choose RedVee as my nickname.

But I love anything Mavis sings on. Almost as good as the original.

Cannot go wrong with Mavis!

Love their music, never gets old.
Never really noticed it before but the dude with the White Gretch is almost dwarfed by his guitar. And I didn’t realize Cliff was so tall. Camera angle?

Malcolm was 5’3” tall, Cliff is a relative giant at 5’8”

 

[RedVee]

I think compared to the rest of them Cliff is tall, Angus is only 5'1", they were both short. Malcolm usually played a smaller Gretsch too. I love the Bon Scott version of the band, reading a book about his life right now and figured I'd check out some of the later stuff right after the Bon stuff.

Angus claims 5’2”. But I claim 5’7” (170cm) (what’s 0.5 of a cm between friends I say)

I wouldn’t mind having that black Pantera!

I didn’t see it but I like Panteras. Some local millionaire bought his young “fiancé” a Pink Pantera.

been trying to score that… (90)with the Boss 302 instead of the 351 Cleveland boat anchor..…

You probably know this but after Ford US shut down the V8 factory, Ford Australia supplied De Tomaso with V8s. Eighties I think.

There was a period he used them live, but I don’t think he recorded with them. He’s been playing a MusicMan for eons now.

He had a period of Ps as well, but seem set with the MM now. Quite his signature.

I knew a guy who owned a Pantera. I think it was white. He was a cyclist friend who was a top industrial designer. (Italian heritage - he had that Italian design sensibility) All his possessions were top-notch design-wise. Haven't seen him for years - more a celebrity friend, but always enjoyed hangin' with him.

I like it. Almost has a big band kind of feel. I love big band.

My Dad and I-both saxists-loved these guys. L to R, the saxes are Bb Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Alto, Soprano and Sopranino. They also used a BBb Contra Bass(Sax)
