Thunderbird Club

[Stealth57]

I'll bet Bob Lee Swagger's dog could do those things. At least until the contractors shot him.

(If you haven't seen "Shooter", I highly recommend it. It's a lot deeper than the surface story. And even though Levon Helm (yeah, *that* Levon Helm) only has a few minutes on screen, he owns that time!)

I’ve still got the shovel

I saw that one and wondered if it might be the one that was on Craigslist here for $800. It's hard to know because they look the same.

If it is the same one, that was a deal on CL.

Cool!

It probably was a deal even if it wasn't the same one. I was more than willing to enable, but there were no takers. I'm not playing the 2015 or 2001 very much, which means I really don't need another bass guitar.

Your math does not compute

Looks like a much cleaner version as my first Greco Bird. If it is anything like mine, it plays and sounds fantastic!!

@Stealth57 We had a new arrival as well. Mini Deer, not Mini Jersey.

Was beginning to think we weren't going to see any this year. Only this youngin' so far.

 

[dagrev]

Gargantuan PITA to get to this point but first time on the road in 12 years..

Still some minor gremlins to chase…

Oh yeah. And we got a free ride as well.

oh Lord…..

Well thanks.....I just wet myself. That needs to be what your driveway looks like.

Chasing gremlins? AMC family dispute?

View attachment 5462207 It is the Anniversary of Princess Fingers Club. Must be, as it’s Kylie Minogue’s Birthday (28 May every year).

Trying to ring her up to celebrate.

Not taking my calls for some reason.

I wasn't going to look. But I did.

I came here to recommend for anyone who hasn't heard them, the Wilson Picket andTina Turner live versions of "Land of 1,000 Dances". And while I still recommend those, you have got to hear this cover of "Hey, Jude"! Wicked WIlson Pickett and Skydog (before he was known) killing it.

(The ad YT showed me first was for St Jude's. 8^)

Duane talked him into doing that song. (You likely knew that.)

Maybe I’ll trade the corvette in on a Pacer….

Yah, really clean - there's another one from Japan a bit worse for wear for around $800. You have the faux-leather gig bag too! Alway a bonus!

My '85 Jolana Discobass (Gibson RD clone) came with its original vinyl gig-bag. It opens from the bottom with snaps!

One of my favorite lines. You know I heard it in his voice!

Hard to believe you’re not playing the ‘15 much. It just shows are different we all are. I play mine all the time. It is perfect. At least for me. And I don’t lack for other Thunderbirds to play.

It was all explained in the notes for the video. Now I need to read the Skydog book!

You are an encyclopedia of southern rock, Donnie.

I haven’t seen any up at our place since last fall either.
