Thunderbird Club

[Stealth57]

Got watch on TV. It was great to see you play. Even though you didn't do the splits or jump off your amp. First gig...very good. I agree with you on vocals. The main part of the band (rhythm section), sounded really good. Not the weak link in the band at all. I've heard plenty of bands who have been together much longer and didn't sound that good. Kind of a backward complement, but meant as a positive one. I liked that everyone in the band seemed to be there to play and try to do well and not think of it as a "hey, notice me" opportunity. I watched some guys a while back and they were trying too hard, if that makes any sense. Well done and keep up the work. I'd come see you guys.

Thanks. The bass area is on the edge of a non-OSHA compliant 3’ drop to concrete. I was playing it safe so I didn’t end up like Marshall the Gimp from GTG2.

Should I ever try a JBass, it’ll be this one. Not everything needs to be blue, even in my world.

Who are you and where is Marshall?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

My guess is that it was the route. FedMess brought my bass down through Calgary, Montana, Utah, Nevada to San Berdu. Seems that would have been the more logical route to Texas. Frustrating for you I know. But you’ll have her soon enough.

Perhaps, but there’s no good reason for the tracking to be abysmal.

Will have to watch later. Will be looking for undergarments tossed at the bass player.

What? You mean this doesn't happen to all of us?

Most of the time has been "in transit" from Edmonton to Vancouver - over a week. From two days ago on, we can blame the USPS. But objectively, CP's tracking reporting is pathetic, and their chatbot acts more keyword driven than anything else. After a couple of queries that got me nowhere, I asked to speak to a human. I got lost in a "please provide this info" list that was all stuff they had right there associated with the tracking number (or should have). So I gave up and asked, "Is the expected delivery date to my address or to customs?" and the answer was, "We have no control over what customs does with your package."
The USPS has its share of problems, but the tracking reporting is better, as is their help.

I know you were (at least somewhat) kidding but just needed to vent.

Well, if it's in Vancouver it'll come past Seattle, shall I give it the Queen's wave as it passes through?

And UPS is laying off 20k employees.
Fedmess is the worst.
USPS is a mess too: but delivery to my home via USPS is reliably tardy (one to 2 days)

But you have your own supply.

As close as I can get to WBW:

negative of that bass....

 

[TBird1958]

But you have your own supply.

Yes, for decades now! But that's not the same as having members of the audience throw theirs up on the stage - It did happen, once.

 

[TBird1958]

Still WBW..............
Show in a couple weeks, already excited.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Theoretically it snuck out of Vancouver and down to LA on Monday. But thank you for the offer. I'm sure my purplebird is honored at the thought!

male or female?

Does such a compliment really matter? Twice the odds on a Friday night...or so they say.

I was playing Hollywood in the 80’s I’m just saying, there was more than underwear being thrown and shown.


Santa Monica Blvd was “interesting” for a 6’3” 140 lb (Hetro) Waist length Blonde haired, Andy Gibb looking dude in Leather , spikes, and 8” heel stripper boots…

I bet. I'm sure you met Lola, among others.

Uhm yes : I broke many hearts.
Their x-dar was definitely malfunctioning.
Some became friends. I’m cool like that.

Cue Aerosmith.

I was living just off Santa Monica Blvd in 79/80. Further west than Hollywood. Right across the street from a massage parlor that I don't think was doing much "legal" massage work. Interesting time to be single.

Per your request.

You still in Fiji?


Dave, the band sounded great and you sounded solid! Actually a pretty good job by the sound guy, the mix was very balanced. Sure the second singer was struggling with vocals a bit but his guitar playing was solid. Maybe have him sing specific songs that fit his voice style better, try some Johnny Cash or Dillon. Hats off to you and the band.

yessir......not at all looking forward to flying to Detroit (GM) on Sunday....
