Thunderbird Club

[Engle]

Haven't been on TBird Club-or anywhere on TB-much lately, and not at all Friday, so I forgot to mention: had a gig Friday night. Elks Club, 6:30-9:30. They like us there. We had an almost full house. We always do the first set a full hour so that the time comes out right.
However.
We were interrupted twice for drawings. First was right at seven when they had some kind of raffle or something. OK, no BFD. Second time was the drawing for the 50/50 at ~7:40. As usual, within 15-20 minutes 1/2 the crowd was gone. We keep trying to tell the places that do the 50/50 that people will leave right after and that if they delay it a little bit, the people will buy more food and drink. Will they (management) listen to the band? Nooo.
Oh, well, we got to knock off early. It's a b!tch trying to play to the few 'hangers on' that really don't GAF whether we play or not.

Bet you had fun playing though!

It sounds like they want to knock off early rather than make a few extra bucks.

IDK, but my guess is that some senior member asks for it to be early.

It was a distraction.

I guess I should have said "most songs..."

I only know because I cover Jive Talkin, did a bunch of reading about it, and then worked out a patch on my C4 pedal that provides a decent approximation. Of course it works best with my Ric-like object.
It is a blast to play!

Got you out. That's a good thing.

Might have considered it but the huge chunk at the bridge post.

How does that chip happen? Pulling the anchor or it took a hit that moved the anchor?

In case two wasn’t enough for George…

 

[GonePlaid]

Got you out. That's a good thing.

And paid decently.(also a good thing)

Perfect for someone wanting a custom refinish. It would still be a decent value even after having it done.

If you can refinish it yourself it’s not a bad price.
But if you send it out for a finish job it’s gonna cost at least $500 plus shipping. You can find these all day long in great condition for $1500 or less. Hard pass for this non self finisher.

Lots of Thunderbird II tearin' it up in this great song from Midnight Oil. I had not heard this until very recently, love the lyrics too.

I saw Midnight Oil on the Diesel and Dust tour in Nashville at the Cannery. One of the best live shows i've ever seen, and i've seen a few, lol

@Engle is Canada in mourning? Double sweep.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Nope.

Get your postings in in the next 5 hours and then keep it light for the next 20. I didn’t say zero like normal as Qatar has free Starlink DOH to SFO.

Both. No seafood since ~'85; no commercial flight since 12/25/1970.

Not me. I only watch sports during work events

If the previous owner were famous it might've been an expensive "road worn" custom shop option- just sayin'
