Jealous?

Not sayin!

Well the adorable kid may draw some looks as well.

(In the first pic if there was any confusion.)

Letting Dave "play drive" in the garage as a safety precaution?

after seeing what Dave does to B-15s, absolutely....

With the keys safely in the next county.

Jealous?

Well, yeah, as a matter of fact, I am.

I use these “rubber” picks sometimes when playing at home quietly:

Ahem

THPB Thumper Bass or Ukulele Pick, Blue

www.guitarpartsfactory.us

I like them a lot, they keep the finger sound going. The only thing is they soften up when they warm up.

Ahem again

that was a great motor, you could get it in the first gen Valiant (Barracuda).....on another note, Chrysler continued to make the AMC 360 for 20 years after they bought them....another great motor (went into the Jeep stuff Chrysler bought AMC mostly for)......that said, it ain't no 390....
pancakes anyone?....

We're off to a party this evening, held at this place:
About | VINTAGE by V
If you look through the photos in the Zillow listing you'll see some musicians playing in the dining area, they including the owner at the time, Sean Kinney of Alice in Chains. The pipe organ in the background is the largest west of the Mississippi, the home was built in 1936 by Boeing's first attorney. The man who owns it presently is someone we met while having dinner at the 909

Steppenwolf has even played there.


Here's a little TBirdish content.......

Every time I do any slapping it sounds like me doing it so I stop.

So here’s the thing. With 2 to 3, or more, hours in the shed most days now after it gets too hot to do chores, my focus is on sight reading, pick for a bit, and general practice. The sight reading is coming along quite well. Slap is next. I may ask Chucky to give me a few lessons to get started. How hard can it be?

My '76 had the 400 and Lean Burn--and I recall some Cal emissions extras. Was horrible to drive once it got to the barely warm stage until it got hot. Carb would load up and it would die if not careful. That little magic light on the fender would start flickering, confirming the feeling in the seat that it was about to die if not careful. But once it was hot it ran great. After getting married the wife hated driving it for that reason. Loved the car and still does, but hated that it's gong to die on me at the red light feeling. I saw a '79 the other day that had a 360 and no lean burn.

Big engines sucked here from ‘74 to the early eighties while they finally figured things out. All for the good if you ask me. JMO.

I love AIC!

 

[MCF]

I have never used one. That is a personal failing that might have to be addressed.

Well, I had a harpsichord when I was really young. I used a felt pick on that at times. Does that count?

piece o' cake....Venmo?

Had a '79 Ford LTD with a 351...but the idiots at Ford decided to ditch the reliable carb with something called a variable venturi. It was a bag of diaphragms that not even the factory could install without leaks. Go around a turn and slosh...car dies. The good old days where you could disconnect the speedo so the warranty wouldn't expire. Didn't get fixed until I moved to Louisiana and the Ford dealer had a talented tech.

Well, it was a Ford. Do I need to say more?

Let us know when you play there and we'll put together a mini-GTG. We can be roadies, groupies, understudies, whatever, to get in. "Yes, we really need seven people to run sound for us. It's complicated!"

I can maybe make that.

Apparently not hard at all. Just watch Larry Graham. Seems to be nothing to it.

Did you grab Larry's J?

Nope, no mic sticking out of it.

I forgot to mention that there’s two bands, stage over looks Puget Sound
