Thunderbird Club

[TBird1958]

That was down by my daughter and surfing grandson. Was that last year?

Yes, that was August 5th, 2023 that we were visiting More Music in Santa Cruz, we had diner in Hollister as we were all staying there and wanted to be a little closer to our respective hotels.

 

[DJ Bebop]

Yep. And you were invited! Too bad you couldn't make it.

I remember.
I don't remember what happened on my end. It was either medical or Hawaii, or both.

 

[MCF]

That would be Geddy...

Alex calls an audible and Geddy manages... Neil and Geddy never knew what Alex was going to say. You can see them crack up at various times.

That Geddy guy is pretty good. For a roadie.

 

[Stealth57]

You're at Geo's?

No, couldn't make it with my wife still on the mend. Geo did me a big favor.

You remember why I didn't come?
I don't

And that was only Marshall and Dave!

The songs available online to practice with are often not in the key we'll be playing in, so I work on doing just that. Trying off and on to mix reading Nashville Notation (or whatever the correct name is) with it, since that's how it works.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

A few hundred birds bought and sold. About 1/3 that many amps. Votes on whether to disenfranchise anyone who misses the GTG. The usual.

Also, I was about to message you, @KaraQ , and make sure you were ok. You have been missed!

That Geddy guy is pretty good. For a roadie.

I love the look he gives Alex. "You think you got me. But let me dig through the music memory a little..."

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Texas property tax rate is higher than CA...homes are just less expensive.

Yeah, and I'd bet a lot that rate x valuation is higher there.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Miles RULES..

Hey, I'm not the group monarch! I'm not even a butterfly!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

And nuts stuffed dates. And I haven't even shown you my mamool

AHEM!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Songs that I have played for 2 or 3 years usually stick with me permanently. GFI is 1 that has not stuck.

Ground Fault Interrupt? How does that go? Besides BZT?

 

[5StringBlues]

No 1 suspects.... The butterfly...

Hey, I'm not the group monarch! I'm not even a butterfly!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

UGH that's about as scary as walking into a jam and having them ask you if you know summertime, or Georgia on my mind. so many perceptions on those....

"Sorry, we don't sing that since {Janis,Ray} died."

 

[JIO]

Yessir.

...what happens at the T-brd GTG stays at the T-bird GTG...

 

[Miles_ONeal]

When they don't know the difference between the standard Epi and the VP/60s. It happens a lot. What is sad is you know the person who sold it to them didn't get fair value for it.

And it happens both directions!

My favorite recent listing was the "Explorer" that's actually a Thunderbird.

Glad to enable help! I was tempted to buy it myself - it's a very classy bass. I'm a knob snob and think these gold speed-knobs work well both functionally and visually.

 

[JIO]

Love this version:

Nice!

 

[MCF]

You remember why I didn't come?
I don't

I'll try to find your message. It wasn't Hawaii. That's where you're saying you'll be during the upcoming GTG in Seattle.

I was sorely tempted but am being nice to the Budget Queen since we have t get a new oven/microwave. The 40 y/o unit is ready to retire.
