Thunderbird Club

[Gaolee]

too bad David Byrne gets so spastic sometimes, “Stop Making Sense” came on last night and my god can that band swing….

One of my few distant brushes with fame was a guy I worked with briefly in Norway. He had just turned 20 and I was 21, but we looked exactly the same. I didn't need my driver's license at the time, since I was going to be in Europe for a bit and could get a new one when I got home. I gave mine to him to use as an ID in Colorado where he was from. His last name was Weymoth and he had a cousin who played in some band. He wasn't sure the name of her band and didn't know much about what she was up to.

It doesn't look all that big, lots of work for only a little flesh. We have Dungeness Crab which are about 7- 10" across the shell. tasty flesh too. I still like Alaska King best though.

You asked for more spam ;-)

Not each song was filmed from a to z.
And not all of them have good sound quality.

But these two snippets from our reunion gig are quite nice:

It's great stuff, Rob!
Share all you like, and maybe get Uwe to drop by, I'm missing his LBO humor a lot of late.

Spam on! We love it.

Nice! Looks like a 2 x 210AV cab stack - what amp is that?

Those are actually two Eden D210XLT cabs. But back in the day I changed to grills to an Ampeg look. Because I used to hook them to my Ampeg V4B.
But the V4B appeared to have contracted a bad hum during the 7 year that I didn't use it. I had it serviced, but the noise is still there. So in the end I decided not to bring it to the gig and use my MarkBass SA 450 instead. That was always used as a slave. But can work as a stand-alone amp just as fine.

Those Eden cabs sound really, really good.

I was thinking they didn't look quite as tall.

She sure has the pipes!

I met a guy in a bass specific shop here that's no longer in business. He told me he didn't play out anymore because it was being a mover with bad hours and worse pay. He had a point.

But I keep doin' it any way-'cos I gots nuthin' else to do.
(or 'cos I'm stoopid)

Dungeness Crab, a San Francisco treat.

Just close your eyes. I mostly like watching Tina. Except when she did this.

The crab shuffle!

That's cool looking - never seen a blue crab. Probably tastes the same as an orange crab?

a relative...

They do! Mine gets used for keys at our rehearsal space. The Mesa is my rehearsal space amp. Both haven't been used live for a while.

Carvin 1x18 - big bottom

Gator steak?

Gator steak?

I like most water critters but I had turtle once and didn't like it.

I feel the hot wind
On my shoulder
Coming in from
South of the border...

It's only hitting 96 or 97 today, vs 101 the other day. But the weather breaks tonight with highs in the 70s the next few days. That'll make for a chilly start - 60F - and, indeed, ride for the Livestrong Challenge on Sunday. I'm only riding 45 miles this year due to lack of enough training time. At least the forecast for rain has dropped to nearly zero.

Turtle is OK. Gator is like mealy catfish. Not good at all.

Greetings from Mexico! At Puerto Penasco for the week. Starting things off right with a Margarita and shrimp cocktail done right.

Enjoy! But you know you can get Margarita and shrimp cocktails in the US?

Mud crab. There are places here that sell “Singapore Chili Crab” using mud crabs, I recommend.

Best known are Harry’s Singapore Chili Crab Restaurant in the city and Kingsley’s Steak & Crab Restaurant on Woolloomooloo Wharf (very near the City).
