I saw Train on Tuesday night. It was interesting watching the bass player (Hector Maldonado(?)) ; P bass & Ampeg 810 on stage.
He was very economical, long periods not playing or just drumming on the front on the bass (?).
Did a bit of backup singing, mist during a cover of 'Under Pressure', where he took a role.

Enjoyed the show, my wife loved it. It makes a difference when the singer (or someone) shows some personality.

It sure does. That's always something for each of us to keep in mind when we play in front of an audience.

Did he play a '50's Precision, single coil?

That's the only negative thing I can say about Derek Trucks. Ya might as well stay home & listen to his album while staring at an 8x10 glossy.

Senility is setting in..........(that and it's my Friday, and the booze/beer talk is on my mind), do I have you on the club roster? I'm thinking I do, help a Queen out here!

Yes, I'm on the club roster about the 460 something , was a while away but still there....

[JJR58]

Thank you!

I'll continue drinking as normal soon.........

And having one for you right now.

That sounds like an outstanding plan. In a couple hours there's Laphroig waiting in the basement. I might go down there for a visit.

 

[TBird1958]

And having one for you right now.

Don't forget your stunt liver!

 

[JJR58]

Don't forget your stunt liver!

All good, last recent check up showed no signs of any kind of infections.

 

[JJR58]

And i'm going to be 59 in December.

Pushing the envelope i suppose.

Might as well stay inside and drink today, the air quality is insipid - Forest fires in British Columbia.

I'm far from being a beer fanatic, but virtually every "craft" beer I've ever tried (and I've tried a lot) should be labeled "crap" beer. I'd guess that out of every 100 craft beers I've had, I'd consider actually buying maybe one or two of them. Just give me an ice cold Mexican Lager (virtually any brand) with or without a lime and I'm plenty happy. Now if someone can explain to me why I'm drawn to Mexican style beers vs others I'd love to be enlightened.

I'm a Negra Modello guy. Usually $12.99 a twelver at Rite Aid. I've also been known to enjoy a Dos Equis Amber or three.

I admit to also enjoying a number of craft beers. But I agree that there are a lot out there that aren't all that great.

I may be asking to get flamed, but out here in CA there is a sizeable contingent that thinks Firestone 805 is God's necter. I don't get it. But that's just my opinion.

Hah! I'm three months older than you!

 

[MCF]

All this fury over beer, my goodness.

Other than things like Hillerup's truly amazing score, I think the bird talk is going to be a bit thin until the Vintage Pro hits. Then the floodgates will no doubt open.

Still?, not good.
We don't need fires for poor air quality.
The humidity makes up for that here.

Michael @hillerup has corned the market.

But yes @MCF, please let us have the Vintage Pro.
