what's your fave slice?

I just go for plain. Toppings will just fall off if you're walking with it. But usually margherita if I'm getting a pie.

If I eat that close to showtime - I barf.

A whole meal is too much, but I find pizza pretty innocuous in that way. That said, I had a couple of slices on the way to the venue on Thurs., but I got there around 8 and didn't play until about 11.

@MCF We played Neil Young's Harvest Moon yesterday. I'd never heard the song, but it was easy enough to learn on the spot.

Still can.

My personal favorite shipping method right now is Southwest Airlines. Especially for big heavy stuff.

Life insurance? My wife will be a well-off widow. So, there's that, and I don't test my luck. She's English. I would never see it coming.

Never be worth more dead than alive.

Word! My BIL was in the hospital for over a week and on his death bed from a bad raw oyster. He won't eat them that way anymore.

My favorite guitar shape! Would love to find an Alembic or Lieber bass in that body for an affordable price (sub $5000), but that ain't gonna happen in my lifetime.

Excellent Ken! Tim Drummond's classic country bass line. D/A and E/B. When Neil toured the album, it was a solo show. We caught it at the Pacific Amphitheater in Costa Mesa which was then an 18,000 seat venue. They downsized it to 8,000 about 10 years ago. The British band James, playing unplugged, was the opener. It was a fabulous night.

External looks can be very deceiving on these humbuckers. For what it's worth, here's a magnet pic of my Gibson ES Les Paul GoldTop bass vs my Epiphone Custom Shop Tbird, both with what appears to be very similar looking pickups…

actually, nothing alike at all under the hood, the LP is sporting a guitar six pole split humbucker type design and the Eppi is fitted out with blades. Which begs the question, does V's LP bass (and for that matter the Money Bass) have rails or poles? To be honest, the Eppi pups shown above walk all over the LP pups shown above.

Interesting! I have 3 of the humbucker sized Gibson's. Maybe I need to get some of that magic magnet paper so we can see whats under the hood.

My wife has never forgiven me for not being French and not having a villa in the south of France. Italy probably would have worked for her too. Rosa appears not to have that problem.

not in her DNA….. to quote her, too cold and pretentious, prefers Baja……that said, who needs the Côte d'Azur when you got Big Sur?…..
