Thunderbird Club

I have used his stuff before, it work well on unmodified basses and the applications that are typical. For the Epi and Gibson I pictured, it’s not typical, and he doesn’t make what I need. Also, his stuff is kinda big, and doesn’t really put the rest where I want it. I mostly just want to get a little more away from the bridge than where using the bridge pickup puts my fingers.
Well, I rest my thumb on the "handrest", which is over the front pup.

Good morning my Thunderbird loving sisters and brothers. Just checking in from sunny and beautiful Puerto Rico. Great conference and wonderful city, though missing my Thunderbirds and my man cave. Some folks leaving early due to storms in the Midwest and anticipated travel woes. Going to check out a local reggae club here in San Juan this evening and then flying back (hopefully) to Spokane tomorrow afternoon. I hope everyone has had a good week and are ready for a weekend off. Take car

I'd take a few extra days in Puerto Rico, Spokane is a balmy 18 degrees just now, stay warm!
 
That was on a K-Tel style compilation cassette I got as a kid. Rock Explosion. 😊
I played the snot out of that cassette. It was probably my only one at the time. 🤣

This is it!

Mine was likely part of something like that. Certainly had some K-Tel albums when young that were compilations of various songs. I don't recall having the one you mentioned though.
 
Wow! I'd completely forgotten this one. Has a lotta meaning to us FL natives.
I always liked songs that told a story. Always though Charlie Daniels was a great story teller. (The rock/jazz/country musicianship was top notch as well, even if I didn't care for some songs.) The rt of telling a story in song seems far more difficult to do than using words and odd phrasing where you are left thinking, Well, it could be about 1 of 46 possible things.
I've even heard/read some artists explain a song that people couldn't figure out and after they explained what it was about I was thinking, "Well, if you say so."



I recall the first time I heard this and cracking up.

Glad you are able to escape and enjoy some good weather. Safe travels. It's 15 here--and not 15C either!
 
Did I mention the 12in of snow we seem to be getting.... Looks like 6in later Saturday and another 6 early Sunday with temps in the single digits at nights. Seriously not funny. And the joy of shoveling... :rollno:

I’m right there with you brother.
We are in the 10 to 12 inch range. The real worry is sleet for loss of power.
I’m ready with a kerosene heater and plenty of back up light.
I did some calculations and determined that prior to power loss if I run my two SVT’s and the Mesa 400 it should keep the house warm for least a day. 😆
Take care.
