Thunderbird Club

Geeze - by 1986 I had already been engaged 4 times, married twice, divoriced once, had two kids in school and had bought my third house - and I wasn't even 30 yet. :D

Live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse! :woot:

Yeah, I was a wild child, lived a very full life before turning 30 and then decided to calm it down a bit. I'm still amazed I survived my teens and twentys. I'm even more amazed that none of my 3 kids ever pulled any of the stupid insane stunts I did, they are angels by comparison as are the grand kids. :thumbsup:
 
The owner of the music school my kids go to. Great guy that's super supportive of my kids and their rock n roll dreams. Lots of leftie gear hanging on the walls in his school.

Here he is playing with my kids on an open mic night that he hosts with his band at our local bar and grill that has live music.

This video is from last Thursday.





I loved the Sammy years too and I have to respectfully disagree. 5150 came out in '86, my junior year of HS. It was a great summer and that was the soundtrack for it.


I gotta tell ya man... that music school and the people associated with it, get more & more impressive every time you mention them! I reckon the same can be said for your kids! Yer the only person I know that grew his own house band!:thumbsup:

It's all beautiful & super cool & everything, but alas... I am doomed to a future that does not include an actual Gibson Thunderbird.:bawl: The necks are just too thin. I'm a big guy with bad hands. I gotta have a tree trunk to hold on to. I got lucky & found a Korean Epi 'bird that'll get me where I gotta go for now;)

I appreciate ya thinkin' of me though:thumbsup:
