At one point, there were 15(!) tornado warnings in our area. Some major damage and loss of life.Good to hear you dodged the worse of it.

Hah! I just stumbled across a funny alignment while watching a documentary on "Area 51" in Nevada. The secret military base began in 1955 as a test-site for the U2 during the cold-war. Its code name was "AQUATONE" - I thought, what a great name for a surf band! - "The Aquatone's". Then I Goggled it figuring it's definitely been used, and it was - in 1956! But not surf - doo-wap!

Never move Mike. You seem to be in a good spot there.

Every time I think I've found a good band name, it turns out it's been used. Except for punk-rock band names. I have plenty of those

But you made it. And importantly enough, so did your Thunderbird.
Yeah, I was busy most of the day with getting rid of the tree.

Exactly - especially post internet. At one point I thought I had a great name for our edgy/improv/proggy band and it hadn't been taken/registered yet, and when I brought it to the project - the others were silent. ??? The name was "Cicada Killer" - a big wasp that specifically preyed on cicada's when they came out of hibernation every 7 years. It just sounded menacing and fit the tone of our playing. We don't have cicada's in CA - it was a mid-west thing. I'm very nostalgic for their droning waves of buzzing. Anyway.., the guy who was renting us the rehearsal space had a young daughter that he named (wait for it...) - Cicada. Only in California.Every time I think I've found a good band name, it turns out it's been used. Except for punk-rock band names. I have plenty of those
Reminds me of the Katydids, a fave of mine from the early 90’s.Exactly - especially post internet.

The bass gods were watching over you.
They make decent keyboard amps in a pinch.

Thanks for checking in. Sure are glad you are OK.
This works quite well on bass. $70, too.
