Thunderbird Club

[GBassNorth]

Banned from what?

And by whom?

My lips are sealed.

You say something similar about everyone, I bet if you sat and had a beer with them, along with Billy Gibbons, you'd find them to be really down to earth people.

Billy Gibbons goes out of his way to act like a big shot… I don't much care fer them types. Yer Canadian Rocky Cool J fellas there… I'll have a beer with 'em… but if I hear ONE WORD about them usin' their hoity-toity imported snow in their 'gloos… I SWEAR T'GOD...

 

[Stevis]

@GBassNorth I've upgraded security and sleep in the Meth Tent

You need an RV, Vince.

 

[Gaolee]

Cool Kat too!

Well, yeah. Of course.

You think a plaid wearin Canadian would use ANY import material?!

 

[kat888]

That isn't a repurposed cutting board. Is the Mod admitting that maybe there's more to the world than shoes?

No it's my OCD.

I was debating on making a mobile division....

 

[Gaolee]

I still can't believe this club has added over 400 new members since I joined just a few years ago. We're inching closer to @kat888

Now you are just making me feel old.

 

[Gaolee]

We need to get back to the basics.

Three weeks of playing a FSO and posting only to GenPop threads without getting banned.

 

[TBird1958]

I'm struggling to work through my issues with this $349 Epiphone TBird. If it were a $2000+ Gibson I might have a breakdown! Besides, Gibson has enough of my money for now. I have a Gibson Les Paul Hollow Body bass.

Awesome, I'll bring the list forward soon, be welcome and feel free to share a pic of the hollow body if you like.

 

[GBassNorth]

And don't you ever stop running!

 

[Gaolee]

Its a process. I'm only up to stage 3 ... give me some time to get there ...
Stage 1: Shock and dismay.
Stage 2: I hate this thing.
Stage 3 I hate this thing, but it sure sounds good.

Did it choose you? Sounds like it did. You are resisting, but you are one of us now. So sorry.

(not too much, is it?)

 

[Gaolee]

I think @kat888 has a tort supplier she can hook you up with.

....(running as fast as I can in the other direction).

She does. It's the local deli. Salami is great for sandwiches for the Mod. As far as I can tell, Kat has no use for sliced sausage.

 

[Gaolee]

I'd forgotten my number. I'm #200, but currently 'thunderbirdless". However, my Dingwall Bird is on order and hopefully arriving this Spring!

Welcome home!

 

[GBassNorth]

Sure, I'll join the madness.

You'll be sorryyyyyyy......

Awesome, I'll bring the list forward soon, be welcome and feel free to share a pic of the hollow body if you like.

{not too much, is it?}

LOL...

 

[ZenGuitarist]

Cool! Yes, these Hofners are so cool and great bang for the buck! Same can be said about the Epi VP T Birds! I ordered a TB finish that weighs exactly the same as yours! Weird! Cool! Mine gets here next Friday.

I seriously considered buying my Hofner in the blue colour in your avatar but decided to go with Maroon instead which I love.

You're going to love your VP TB. Epiphone really hit it out of the park with their Vintage Pro model.

@GBassNorth Heed that warning! I've upgraded security, hired LL Cool J and Dwayne The Rock Johnson as bodyguards, and sleep in the Meth Tent... which has 360* flood lights.... AND I'M STILL SCARED!

LL Cool J boggled my mind when this came out:

I had been living in NYC for about four years and saw the whole rise of hip-hop out of Harlem and the South Bronx, but there was no such thing as a rap ballad. Until this. My girlfriend, now wife, put it on the turntable. We still have the single somewhere. Vinyl of course. Digital music hadn't been invented yet.

It was a really interesting time to be in New York. The punk thing was burning out at CBGB, but hip hop was boiling over. It was everywhere, except that nobody knew it was hip-hop. That name came later. Afrika Bambaataa was the lodestar, as was Grandmaster Flash. The Message was right on point. Still is.
Herbie Hancock was doing this:

It was one of those things where you didn't know you were in a nexus. I was driving a cab after graduating from college into a nasty recession and just trying to get by. There was a desperate energy everywhere, and all us unwashed people hung together. I went on rent strike with others in the building I lived in when the #@$% landlord counted on tenant body heat to keep the pipes from freezing. We lived on 102nd between Broadway and Amsterdam. It was a pretty rough neighborhood at the time. Ethnicity didn't matter as much as being one of the neighbors and being all in. There's a reason music was as aggressive as it was at the time. I could go on, but that's probably gateway to bannation, so I'll stop now.

 

[Gaolee]

No it's my OCD.

That's OK too. So long as the Mod is kept in the proper understanding of how the order of the world works.

Most people stack cabinets, Mark stacks heads.

Stack it all, that's my motto.
