When I drink a tube Pale Ale I like a good Pentode...much more kick over a triode!

A Trillium beers? That's more than a handful, right?
Nice work!!Just finishing this one up. Pine body, nitro relic finish, Dunable T-Bird pickup, CTS pots, NOS PIO cap, switchcraft jack, Gotoh Resolite tuners. Still need to do a couple setup things, but it sounds killer and weighs UNDER 8lbs .

I used this guys (Guy Pratt to be exact!) BMM J as a reference for relic'ing there ...Ha! that wearing of the finish looks like a cartoon map of the USA!

How is it?
I know y'all have been waiting on pins and needles for these, so here we go. Recorded live at the Marco Polo Hotel in Miami Beach in 1982/83(?). Video is meh-it's what the camcorder 'captured'; audio is 'OK', again what the camcorder 'heard'. They're kinda long-we were keeping the dancers on the floor, which is what we were paid to do.
First up: "Just the Way You Are"-Scott, lead vocal; George-trumpet, string synth, harmony; Ken-drums; Me-67NR, alto sax
Next up: "Celebration"(note changes)[Scott to guitar; George to keys
And: "Johnny B. Goode"-me on lead vocal(can't sing or play it this fast anymore)

A little fun, last song of the set, not liking the audio much.

Add bacon-Mmmmmm.KFC corporate offices are here in town. I assure you that no one from this area came up with that idiotic idea.... A local would have had the good sense to say just rub a chicken leg on your neck and behind your ears.
