I probably have to try that wood one of these days when I can actually get to projects.

They got an "All Clear" Sunday evening, but I usually end up with bottled water, Gatorade for the show, helps fend off the cramping in my hands.

Hand cramps in the middle of a show are no fun at all. Cramps anywhere are no fun. A friend turned me onto hydration tablets called Nuun. I get through a lot of those for exactly the reasons you drink Gatorade.
Didn’t know you were into him. He’s playing the Greek two night in September.
If your sidewinder works out and will fit, that would be very useful for me.

All this Ashdown love has me thinking…
I really liked the ABM EVO II 500 2x12 combo I had back in the 2010’s, but sold it because it was heavy and my shoulder was toasted. I already have Solid State and Hybrid amp bases covered - but what about those Ashdown all tube CTM series amps (30 watt, 100 watt and 300 watt models)? Are they any good from a build standpoint? Do they pair well with Tbird humbuckers?
I loved the 300 watt SVT VR that I sold to Marshall (the weight not so much, but bearable), and kinda miss that all tube vibe every now and then. If I went the Ashdown route I’d probably go with the 100 watt model, but not sure how different it will sound from the ABM head I used to have.

I've been alternating between stuff we play for church and the Grateful Dead.
Here's something I just found through NPR today: Mick Fleetwood on drums, Jake on the jumping flea. They do a cool version of Whiter Shade of Pale, but the drums don't even sound like Mick on the one I heard, more like synthetic tracks to record by.
They don't say here who the other cats are. Cool bass even if it's not a Thunderbird.
Cool! Sounds like Mick to me. Think the Tusk album.
Holy crap

You’re welcome to come up to the basement at PMC to rekindle your relationship.
Having a stunningly beautiful day up here today in the mid seventies and a gorgeous blue sky. Nice cool breeze down the canyon. Life is good at 6,000 feet.
Oh man. Hard to believe. I’m happy they got the final gig in.Holy crap

A little bit of my youth. RIP Ozzie.

I've been listening to those albums on my dog walkabouts since the Back to the Beginning show.
Mar and I are working on Changes for her August recital.
