Hot inside that bar last night, the SWR was heated up quite well, I'm thinking it needs a road case with a small built in fan if I use it with regularity.
Meantime, it did sound good
Love that song, love the cover!

Love that song, love the cover!
My thought, but unlike Ozzy, I decided not to go there.
(No youtube vid but here are the lyrics by Asleep at the Wheel)
In the Texas town of San Antonio
Is a little church they call the Alamo
The story tellers say, Ozzy Osborne stopped one day
All dressed up in women's lingerie (lingerie)
I don't know if the guy was drinking beer
Jack or Beam, it's not exactly clear
But when he whipped it out
The ghost of Travis gave a shout
Whose message all good Texans still can hear
Don't go there, don't go there
You really shouldn't go there
It's a source of Texas pride
Hell, John Wayne died inside
Don't go there, don't go there
You really shouldn't go there
You'll really piss us off if you go there
When Bowie and Young Crockett made their stand
Colonel Travis drew a line into the sand
But it's simply not the same when you try and write your name
That bloody rocker must have mush for brains
Don't go there, don't go there
You really shouldn't go there
It's a simple Texas mission
Not a pot for you to piss in
Don't go there, don't go there
You really shouldn't go there
You'll really piss us off if you go there
Music never rilled us
The Groupies or the Jets
The show on television
Or the ratings you might get
The thing that drove us plum insane
Was when you drained that old main vein
Took your snake and let it go
No, we won't forget the Alamo
The eyes of Texas are upon you
Don't go there, don't go there
You really shouldn't go there
It's a symbol of our state
Not a place to urinate
Don't go there, don't go there
You really shouldn't go there
You'll really piss us off if you go there
Don't go there
You really shouldn't go there
How'd ya like it then
If we pissed upon Big Ben?
Don't go there, don't go there
You really shouldn't go there
You'll really piss us off if you go there
Ah, you know Sharon had got me -
Clothes off, put in the roadie's rooms so I couldn't get out so
I just took a walk around town, you know
And - the next thing I - know
I had to take me a piss, you know
And there was this old wall and I'm thinking
What the -, I'll - piss on the wall
And then all of a sudden
I'm in jail, you know, and the - police
Got me down and ah
Sharon, Sharon!

I already have one, Miles. I didn't take it out because that stage is small and our singer is a complete klutz - aside from that, I really wanted to play the Jackson thru the SWR, it was most pleasing.

I didn’t mean then, just in general. If I decided to wear a dress, one like that would be a top contender.
And what was the other bass on stage?
Yep, “hot chips” we call them.
(Not French fries except at Maccas).
We used to have excellent middle distance runners, but rare now.
Herb Elliot, for one, who was coached by Percy Cerruty.
Rob DeCastella was our best marathoner.
Unusually we have two good young sprinters coming through. 200m mostly but both have gone under 10 seconds in competition for 100m, though Gout Gout’s (17) run (actually twice on one night) was ruled wind assisted. Lachlan Kennedy (21) 9.98 pretty recently. Only one ever before, Patrick Johnson 9.93 about 20 years ago.
They are both young so hopefully they can spur each other along.

I agree - GREAT song.
V, it’s really great to actually hear the bass in a clip - more so in Groove.

I already have this one, which I've had for almost 20 years now, the Epi, (while nice) isn't going to take the place of the Real Deal. It's in part why I have the Bombay Sparkle Blue one, I don't need another purple Bird, I own the original. The Cataldo was second out last night.
gonna incessantly keep posting that white thing till we meet....something's gotta give.....heck, it may have even picked you!...not that I'm the jealous type or anything....
I certainly hope that happens one day.
Marshall, you will be impressed. I watched the baseball game. The that punched their ticket. I don't watch enough baseball to understand how the college world series works.
Herb Elliot was my idol. When I was in high school, Percy came to Santa Barbara and gave a motivational talk. It was very cool.

I am! College ball is fun. Your school has a special program.
Some on here follow baseball casually, if at all. I think Will and I are the only true diehards. I bleed Dodger Blue.
I've mentioned before that I loved it as a kid. Heck, anyone who didn't likely had no friends. I do try to watch if UofL goes this far. I watched the whole game today. I must say, it was a good one regardless of who won.
I think it's been about 5 years or so since they have been to the WS.
I don't follow it closely, but I always was, and always will be, a Mets fan.

The English occasionally get something right. The first generation Daytona 675 was an in-house effort. It and D-type and E-type Jaguars may be the exceptions that proves the rule.
Enzo Ferrari praised the E-Type as the "most beautiful car ever built'...
