Just a reminder to all that Thunderbird neck dive is a horrible thing.
Keep those headstocks safe. 😎

My "horrible" Gibson bass, according one guy out there in GenPop I am a "Failed Guitarist" for playing one. I did have a bit of fun with that.

My Dad was no3 of 7 boys, and there was a little gap between him and no4. So while they were still living around Mudgee and Bugaldie (Coonabarabran) they (the eldest 3) would visit their grandparents on the farm at Botobolar (10 miles N of Mudgee).

On the farm there was a turkey 🦃 that turkey would terrorise visitors, especially children sized visitors. Until my Uncle (no2) being one of those “fear nothing” type boys, was sick of that turkey and went for it. The turkey was circumspect around the 3 grandsons after that!

Me being a city boy, I’ve never been terrorised by a turkey.

Had a friend who's mother had a pet rooster (why I don't know). It minded it's own business until you turned your back on it and it would try to spur you.

We will be working this up in '26. we've decided to put together a set of '60s -'70s stuff that's a little off the beaten path and perform as Ornamental Bush, it should be a kick.

Gotta love USPS, here's the tracking for a couple model train kits. I made two other inquiries that this doesn't show, make Fedex look brilliant.

They wanted to see more snow. Not sure if that's any better than the 9 days FedEx took to get my distortion pedal from Los Angeles...

Great song to add. Killer version you posted. One of those songs I tend to like the revisions of more than the original.

Blackfoot did a version with a harder feel to it in in 1979.

Oldies with an edge. We added Come Together and American Woman but the Gary Clark Jr. and Lenny Kravitz versions. Actually, easier to play too.

15 days in transit including 7 here in Seattle where it didn't move while being only 12 miles from my house, then it gets a plane trip to Alaska after I file a missing package claim - Brilliant.
