I was at an open mic/jam thing a while back. I was asked if I could take over for the house bassist-he needed a break. OK, no BFD. First coupla songs, I asked my usual question: "what key"? Then the keyboard player asked if I knew some other song(I don't recall the title). I said "No, but tell me what key and I'll try to follow". So he counts it off and I'm thinking I've played this a bunch o' times, just never knew the name of it. Lotta blues tunes like that.

Three hood ornament pickups and a loaded hi-cap magazine for a bridge.

LOL - so I’m not the only one that did a double take on the bridge. At first glance it looked like a belt feed.

Great shot Jeff!!

When doesn’t Jeff take a great shot. I love that photo, so much “in the moment” going on. I hope to get out east some day and catch a show that Ken or Jeff are in.

 

[KaraQ]

more importantly; how do you friggin’ play it?…notice he’s plucking on top and fretting at the bottom…

Right hand pedal tones on the bass side, hammer-on/pull-off notes from left hand on treble side?

Im hoping we can get this one into shape for recording this fall:

Nice! Gave me flashbacks to a Dead Head concert, just needs a Jerry Garcia vocal to fade in about half way into the mix.

I’m locked and loaded for when @JIO releases his album. Let me know if you put anything in print (cd or vinyl). Id be interested in buying.

Yow!!!!!!!

Just finished farm chores. Even my buddy crashed.

 

[MCF]

Goats, pigs, chickens, cows, livestock guardian dogs, and some mousers (cats). No horses at this point. That will be added when the farm is moved to Termo, CA (320 acres). The only crops are a small section of fruit trees.

Man. That’s in the boonies. Will you be moving there or staying in the Bay Area?

Sounds like it’s ready. Casady?

 

[MCF]

LOL - I did! Tried about half a dozen ones, all different, all great. Who’d a thunk, baklava grows on trees.

That’s all I ate at the music shop. Goes surprisingly well with beer.

So Dave @Stealth57,

You’ve had the Ampeg for a week now. I think it’s time you got this For Sale - AMPEG B15N

 

[dagrev]

And worth quite a bit of money these days! Along with 1960’s Ford Broncos and old K5 Blazers. Actually the old Jeeps are about all that’s affordable.

Ford Broncos have become the new cool. I don't get it. A lot of things I would love to own and drive, but they aren't on the list! It was a shocker when they started being a thing.

What a cool shot! Great album/ad photo! Recent?

For the record, Ken can get lower than James. In a good way.

Have mercy Miss Percy! I'm glad he's hours away.
Probably sounds awful, being old and worn out. (I tell myself.)

@Chucky Stiletti LET'S DO THIS!

 

[Stealth57]

Man. That’s in the boonies. Will you be moving there or staying in the Bay Area?

Back and forth. My oldest and her husband run the day to day farm activities. The idea is to build a couple houses…and a microbrewery if we can slip that past our wives

My cheapness disagrees.
