So you’re just naturally high then.

My daughter sent me a link to a video and asked me to guess the lead singer(I couldn't). It's a cover from 1969. Unfortunately, no 'Bird content.

I know!!! I know!!!

 

[Count Bassie]

Yep. And when you listen, it surely is.

Oh- he's the backup singer! Ok.

 

[RedVee]

That's Bon Scott??

The 2nd lead singer is Bon.

 

[Stealth57]

I think we found our front man. Fingers crossed.

After the bubblegum of the Valentines - yes all in pink I think I remember - but before AC/DC was Fraternity, a kinda hippy band. Bon on lead vocals and recorder (good practice for the bagpipes!). NB later on Jimmy Barnes did a stint in Fraternity, and I think his elder brother John “Swannee” Swan as well, on drums maybe.
Fraternity toured the UK and some of the trip became fodder for Bon’s AC/DC lyrics “while I’m in the band room drinking with the guys, she’s working 9 to 5” etc. It was the usual starving band trip. But he did meet Brian Johnson over there.

Fraternity lived all together on a farm outside Adelaide. Bon met Ozzy when Black Sabbath toured and he brought him back to the farm for a drink and probably other things.
The bass player Bruce Howe was the boss, and I think Jimmy Barnes left Cold Chisel temporarily in order to see life in a disciplined band. 10 years later when Jimmy brought out his first solo album he brought Bruce Howe into his band for the tour, along with Mal Eastick on lead guitar from another Adelaide band Stars.

I had this on the "three on the tree" shift lever of my 69 Econoline van:


(Still have it, BTW)

No 8 tracks in any of my cars. But had a few before driving for home listening.

I used to never not listen to music in a car. But now I find I often like the sound of nothing going on.

I have the music going to mask the ringing in my ears.

No fun. I have that off and on, but not bad like some.

But the real question is, does the music help mask the voices?

Excellent!

My complete Tbird's collection : (there aren't enough...)





I might put chrome pickups on the NR, probably Eric Custom Vintage.

Nice collection!!

I wouldn’t call 5.4 seconds for zero to 60 in the manual slow.

My 1983 VF750F did 0-60 in just under 4 seconds. There have been a number of cars that did it in 3 seconds or less. But for an affordable production sports car, it’s just fine!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

I knew at one time but had forgotten. Looked it up. Bon Scott!

I had to look it up. I never knew that. I loved that song when it came out. Still like it.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

I can’t say anything about being fast,

Yeah, I’m staying quiet on that part.

But you weigh almost as much as an Interceptor...

 

[TBird1958]

Yeah, I’m staying quiet on that part.

I'm referring to my 26 year old Subaru, not my sex life.
It's a '90 trip gig today, all SWR and the Jackson.

Old, ugly and slow, just like it's owner.

I had never heard of Trent amplifiers. Now I want to get my hands on one.
