Not even hockey? You sure she's Canadian?
Everyone thinks all Canadians are into hockey. The (well kept) dirty secret of Canada?Not even hockey? You sure she's Canadian?
We are all into watermelons

Found out last night that our hockey team is moving to SLC Utah. They have been here since 1996 but never had the drawing power that the other sports teams have.
Funny clip on “authentic blues” I believe some of my T-Bird family might enjoy-
The moss bird has landed…
She needs a good cleaning, but other than that seems to be in good health with a nice deep set of pipes as well.
And interestingly enough, lookie what’s under the cover of those crusty LP “Guitar” pickups on the Limited Edition Eppi bird…
Them be twin blade (not six pole) humbuckers. That begs the question, which Gibson (or Epiphone) guitar pickups have blades vs poles? And are these the same pickups just in an LP housing?

I'd love to find one to profile with my Kemper.
Matter of fact... Just found out my local GC has a Fender Adam Clayton tube amp in stock. Might have to buy it to check it out and profile then return.

Don't forget the Hawker Hurricane!
The blades would be handy if the intention was to use in both 6 and 4 string instruments
I remember having a liking for the Hurricane from reading books as a schoolboy - stuff like Reach for the Sky (the Douglas Bader story), the Dambusters - that sort of stuff.

I'm a big aviation nut, most of my reading consists of aviation history and first hand accounts, biographies etc. of pilots.
As a kid before I discovered bass all I did was read about airplanes and build models, both still take up a large chunk of my free time.

Reach For The Sky has been in my reading pile since I was 11!
No P-38 Lockheed Lightening ? Here's the arm patch for my Uncles Bomber squadron in the 8th Air Force

Very cool! I have some P-38s around. Among other things I collect "trench art " airplanes. Here's a cast metal P-38 from my collection.

I was going to post a pic of a fit young man and say this must be you then. Wasn't really comfortable searching for young dudes on the the interwebs..... So we'll just say you look like a young Tom Cruse or somebody.But I've never been to Memphis.
