Ugly ducklings my @$$!

you’re right…forgot to add “but VERY sexy”…

That seems like a small venue.

It is. Listed capacity is 1150. It originally opened in 1929. It was packed.

On a personal note the last 12 days have included my 64th birthday, our 45th anniversary, and testing positive for the ‘VID after a night of fever and coughing. Still alive but fever goes in and out and joints hurt. And it’s not just old age.

Happy birthday Roger. Please get well soon.

out of sight man!

Oh man, that sucks - hope you recover quickly - and happy '64th!

@Ringhammer The battery you suggested arrived. Too bad one of the terminals was smashed by the USPS. Another is on the way. You mentioned the ones you buy were made in Vietnam. This one is made in Taiwan.

I’ve heard about them, but never watched.
I’ve tried to get into the Dead a few times, but they never really resonated with me.

I can understand that. I like the instrumental jams more than anything.

or their ugly duckling non reverse (NR) sisters……

Since you're sick of those ugly things, call me and we can talk a deal and get at least that awful white one off your hands so it's not taking up space and you can get something decent. A double bass maybe.

You can't use that one. Clearly says: "Battery must be recycled."

USPS made sure of that.

Clearly a nice looking T-Bird...I think? Not a bass for Tone wood purists!

I saw Govt Mule last night at the Vogue Theatre. Kevin Scott was incredibly solid playing 16 notes (Rocco level) and crazy runs! Mostly a Ripper in the first set and he brought out a Tbird shaped bass in set 2.

Very cool Irv! I highly recommend that you see Silversun Pickups at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver on the 16th (the show on the 15th at the Moore Theater in Seattle is sold out). The show we saw last night was amazing.

 

[dagrev]

USPS made sure of that.

Ah, I didn't even see the words when scrolling, just the pic. That sux. Had I read, I wouldn't joked about it.
