Do you guys have Worcestershire Sauce in the US? I guess so.

I just remembered the brand - Lea and Perrins.

(Just realised I don’t know how Americans say shear…?)

We'd say "seh-yaych-reennay-ar". Well, in the Northeastern US anyway.

I just remembered the brand - Lea and Perrins.

Actually thinking back to childhood, we used to buy P-M-U (Pick-Me-Up) brand. Worcestershire sauce, plus for tinned baked beans and tinned spaghetti in tomato sauce.

PMU disappeared from the shelves a long time ago. (Never heard why).
So we went to Holbrooks, and for the tinned stuff Heinz.

Another brand that disappeared for a while but has come back in a limited way is 333 (Three Threes). Jars of pickled onions, gherkins and mustard pickles.

Did you ever try Piccalilli?

 

[GonePlaid]

I initially misread that…

Yeah. The 'correct' term is "saxophonist", but "saxist" is 'funner'.

 

[GonePlaid]

Can't go wrong with black--not when cars had copious amounts of real chrome.

On real steel.

 

[GonePlaid]

True, but let's not let that little secret out of how great that area is.

It recently had snow.

For the Frank Marino fans in the club-

Too cool - when I was in the sixth grade, I thought how cool it would be to play the alto sax. From watching Sanford and Son. But alas I was too shy to approach the band instructor.

Decades later in Bermuda I nearly bought one from Riihiluoma's music store in Hamilton, Bermuda where I had purchased a guitar and some effects. Jay, the owner said first to try blowing into the mouthpiece alone to see if I could make the reed vibrate properly. It was a challenge and I had other irons in the fire, so I let it slide.

So what sax did you play?

Mostly tenor and bari through school and Navy; later alto 'cos I could hold it while 'wearing' my TBird (keys man would cover bass line during sax/flute solos).

Max Webster anyone? Now this is going back a ways, even for me!

 

[GonePlaid]

Yes. Lea & Perrins. There is always a small bottle in the fridge.

Mine's "Great Value"(Walmart).

 

[MCF]

Max Webster anyone? Now this is going back a ways, even for me!

I like. Hard to believe that’s the same guy who went for a soda.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

For Bloody Mary's right?

For the Frank Marino fans in the club-

Juggernaut.....almost like them better than plain Rush...

 

[Nocturnal]

Max Webster anyone? Now this is going back a ways, even for me!

Saw them open for Rush on the Moving Pictures tour. Great players!

Ok, I’m officially lost on that one!

 

[TBird1958]

I like. Hard to believe that’s the same guy who went for a soda.

I do like that song!

 

[BuddhaFingas]

But we don't know how to pronounce it.

Worse-ter-sheer

 

[RedVee]

Thought this was nice. The colour scheme works.

A friend posted a video from one of our shows about 2weeks back.

This is a phone/camera recording but you ca hear the P-Bass with the Thuderbird pickup, which sounds pretty good

Also using my Benson B700 Head for the fir time live.

This is one our slower number kind of in a Crazy Horse vein:



This was an especially fund show since my son's band opened up the show!

Ian Hunter sings with Crazy Horse. Love it.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

I still love mine. That one Dave posted from his CL for 1k with the big chip on the front and which included the case had me wanting to hop in the car and drive north to get it. But I resisted.

So how many of these reissues now for you?

412 out of 400 produced
