Thunderbird Club

Thanks Donny! That one (Boys of Sumner) is in A Phrygian (an A scale with the notes from Fmaj). It took me a while to get my brain and fingers to improvise. It's good to play with people that push me beyond my usual habits.
Bond Girl & The Sean Conneries both do "The Spy - In the House of Love" by the Doors. It's the only song I stretch on. Less a bass solo than a joint extrapolation within an instrumental w/Paul. More Dixieland style. I never play it the same twice. I count on the drummer staying centered because I sometimes really bend where the 'one' is.

I could tell there was some "weird stuff" going on, but had no clue was it was.
 
Not with a lot of us.
Yes, Mike, we are aware of the antiquity of your existence...

Cool stuff Geo!
 
The other night we were talking about painting a double plant hanger black. Stay with me. The wife said we had plenty of black paint. (Meaning she bought too much when we painted the wicker on the deck.) I said "great, I'll get a old bass body, paint it black, get a neck and use parts JT gave me and use the Korea Buckers that were in the '66 body make a bass." She said, "There you go." Something like that. I want to check with the experts, that was a "yes" or equivalent thereof, correct?

Sounds like a yes to me. Or as close to as you could expect.
