Thunderbird Club

[Miles_ONeal]

When I saw him, at one point of the night he brought on Johnny Winters. The audience went wild. I know a lot of people like JW, but compared to The Iceman? I couldn't wait untill he got off stage and attention was back on AC. I have nothing against JW - I've just never liked his style of blues-shredding.

I love Edgar and Johnny. My fave was when they both were in White trash (along with Rick). The whole band was excellent. Roadwork - their live album - is another fave.

Whatever happened to butt bows?

I know what we all need to get Chuck for the next GTG!

I don’t get the “this bass will be buried with me” thing. Somebody out there could use that bass - whether to sell or to play. Especially Gibsons, as they are comparatively rare.

Better - "I'll take this bass to my grave", meaning I'll own it until I die. Beth will outlive me and friends who know the value of my vintage basses will help her sell them for a good price. I've already promised a couple to friends.

I liked that band also.

Speaking of Triumph...The band Triumph was also fantastic live. Really, really good.

I was underwhelmed when I saw them. I don’t recall why. Not bad, but not great.

PSA: this clip will bring a tear to a glass eye

You already know I’m a huge fan. PK has helped me through dark times over the now about 35 years I’ve been listening to him. He is and will always be in the rotation.

Yeah, I thought you guys loved the Greco’s because they were the Growliest (capital G) ?

Can growl, have great low end and highs as desired, very responsive, easy to play until way up the neck. Just about the perfect Thunderbird. If they had body bevels and thinner necks, they’d be perfect in my book.

I have said the ‘15 goes with me. More as an expression of how much it means to me. If I last another twenty five or so years, it oughta be worth a nice chunk of change. My kids will know what to do.

That about covers my hippie days!

Get a Gibson’15. Seriously. Perfect in my book anyway.

Wait. My understanding is that you’re still living your hippie days. Only with a job and mortgage attached.

And of course there is a Neil song. As there is for most everything in life.

Karen (Sharon’s twin) and Marvin (her hubby) flew in from Charlotte. I went to the doc due to my swollen tongue & throat (nothing to do with my special age, thank you), and came home with steroids and an epi pen. We went to Moonshine Grill for my birthday dinner. Chilling now.
Our daughter, Esther, her hunny, and 3 kids arrive tomorrow. They all leave next Friday. We hope to have another 3 families or so from church/extended family on Christmas day.

Hope you feel better, Miles, and enjoy all the deserved attention.

I saw them just after their first album. Could have been something I was on, who knows. They opened for Boston. They were ok/good, but I would not pay to see them again (if it were possible).

Former FedMess employee working for Walmart. (Or future employee.)

Just about perfect placement for the tire of the truck to flatten it. Well done!

This is hippie lite. Back then was full bore. So many great concerts back then that I can’t recall because those were my drug daze.
