Thunderbird Club

Pollen gets me, but also woodworking dust:eek:
AFAIK the active ingredient in Benadryl is what they used as sleeping pills in the 50's/60's. The newer antihistamines are much less likely to make you sleepy and worth a try.
Thanks. For me, the ones that don't make you sleepy are the ones that do the least. From what I've tried anyway.

They use it for OTC sleeping pills now but in the 50's and 60's you got the good stuff, :laugh: different forms of barbiturates which were very physically addictive if you abused them. They were also commonly used in suicides and a lot of accidental deaths also. The problem with Benadryl is that it will work for sleep for a few weeks then gradually it stops working. I think the anti-allergenic properties stay though, @PillO will know.
 
Whoa, dude. That's giant cannabis!!! Biggest weed tree I've ever seen!
Sorry, no buds.

1976 was a good year for live albums. This was one of the best.

My theory is that by ‘71, ‘72, ‘73 companies figured out how to record live shows economically, and with good results. They learned from Woodstock and Altamont. That Rolling Sones truck thing just outside and all that. Or similar. CSNY. Uriah Heep Live. Yessongs. Bowie. Wishbone Ash. And so many others. I have some live albums from the sixties, but the only one I think is ok is an Association album. So I think we have Woodstock and the Stones for really starting the live album era. By ‘76, everyone was releasing live albums. Frampton being the king.
 
I agree and another thing that has been killing it off is relaxing ownership rules that allow giant media corporations to buy them up and simulcast the same crap on them. The majority of AM stations are owned by a handful of giant media. Sucks for me though as I've been an AM DXer since I was a kid.
Not just AM. FM and newspapers are going the same route.
 
you bringing that?
If you all want me to. It’s a really nice Thunderbird! Even with the stock Artec pickup.

I’ll probably bring the mysterious LE Custom Shop Epi (is it TV Silver? Or a green that I can’t confirm was ever produced?). That Thunderbird should be here by next week (it’s coming to Cali via slow boat from Mass).
I can also bring the sparkly Pelham Blue, sparkly Candy Apple Red, or Silverburst Custom Shop Epis.

I took the Gibson Short Scale, the Gibson ‘15 and the Gibson ‘21NR last year.

If anyone wants me to bring something, look at my profile. I really have too much stuff.

I say, you guys bring what you want.
There was so much coolness last year.
