I find it interesting how many Epis are proudly played out in the wild. And by big names. Don’t see much of that with Squier. I’m a huge Biffy Clyro fan. James Johnston had a Squier sig Jazz. I don’t recall a single vid with him playing it.

Chuck Garrick has been playing bass for Alice Cooper for over 20 years. He's mostly played Epi birds. His two main basses are VP's. One is white and the other is silver sparkle used to be a burst. I don't think anyone has played VP's in front of more people. Epiphone should make a silver sparkle signature model for him.

 
I have a one foot square piece of land and a tree in an area they are reestablishing a forest up near where they filmed G of T. Got me a Squire title. :laugh:

I used to telll people that’s where I wanted to be buried… but vertically so I could fit in the plot. They usually didn’t get it.


PS: is Slieve your new Nick name Donnie?
That's cool.

Should we be referring to you as "Your Squireness" or something? We tend to get a bit lost when it comes to the titled folks. :D (Some of the new emoji’s look stupid. I think this one is laughing--or just peed itself.)

Slieve means mountain. I like it. Better than what I've been called before. No, the other part is my surname name. Though I think my bio dad's family goes back to Scotland before Ireland. I hardly knew any of them (not a loss on my part), so it's what I've pieced together. Apparently several generations ago they came over to Eastern Canada at some point (because it was no doubt too cold!), and migrated to Kentucky and settled an area closer to Cinci than here. Paternal grandfather, worked for the railroad and that brought him here. (Actually, both grandfathers work for L&N.)

Amazing what sticks in our memories.
First time I saw it was at a theater in Oakland. A flight to London (Laker Airlines, remember them?) was delayed for about eighteen hours. The theater was near the hotel they put me up in so I went to see it to kill time. Probably saw it twenty times during the next couple of years.

I believe the correct form of address is “sir” as in “Sir Redvee”.

You were lucky it wasn't World Airways. They would just randomly cancel flights and refuse to give you refunds. Was in Hawaii and showed up at the airport and World said not flying today. Then refused to refund the return half of the ticket. AMEX refused to help, so just didn't pay my bill and sent AMEX half my credit card. Haven't done business with AMEX since. 40 years of lost expense account business that was likely $50k+ per year. Told you I don't hold grudges.

You Sir are a professional. If even I need advise, You da Man! - and do it with style.
