Thunderbird Club

[TBird1958]

I have this in the car...….If I play it I'll drive too fast and get a ticket, last time was 76mph in a 60mph zone . Bad Queen!

Lump is better plus how fun would it have been to be out on the barge in the middle of Elliott Bay to film the last half of the vid!

And lead bass guitar.

That's all? Ton or bust.

 

[Gaolee]

And because I can't sign off without feeling good.

 

[Gaolee]

Yeah, more non related Thunderbird stuff.

Of course, i'm up to late on on a school night.

School is for losers. (says the guy with three degrees...)

 

[Gaolee]

I am not excused from class.

Of course not. It's a school night.

 

[Gaolee]

And some more pure pop music that's completely great stuff.


I know a woman in Miami whose name is Isabel. It always makes me smile when I talk to her. One of these days, I'll sing this one to her. She will have to buy the beer to make that happen.

For your Monday morning happiness.

Still visiting Orygun?

Hydration - not alcohol, really helps me get through 3 hours of playing. Bananas are good before hand, but I usually don't eat anything for at least 3 hours before a show - too tightly wound up, I'd barf. Pickle juice is my friend onstage for cramps.

I am so glad someone else said that, everyone sounds so cool about gigging, it terrifies be just before, yeah barfing is a real possibility What is pickle juice?

 

[Christine]

Why are so many Youtube videos not available outside of the US? That is so bloody annoying

Thats great stuff!., love FNM!.

 

[JJR58]

And lead bass guitar.

Love this tune.

And your avatar Will.

 

[JJR58]

For your Monday morning happiness.

Playing it right now, deciding whether to call in sick and play some bass all day.

That's it!, i'm staying home.

A Tortex .73 is literally the ignition switch for a Thunderbird pickup, set them afire, I kid you not!

Don't get me wrong, I play plenty of fingerstyle stuff too, and I'm not at all being judgemental, you just haven't heard a Thunderbird until you hit it with round wound strings and a pick.

Agreed, but I prefer the green .88 version. Been my recipe for years.

At some point I'll write a post about a typical "gig day", it's pretty involved of course and more than a few times I've been envious of those that travel and look nice at shows with a simple kit. I tend to wind up before a show, not nervous, but excited and a heavy ball of food in my stomach isn't what I want.
Pickle juice is just that, the salty, sour brine from a the jar, the high level of calcium chloride can help with cramps if you drink it. I try to keep some onstage with me as I've had both, hands and feet cramp up while playing.

Oh god that sounds revolting! do you have a low salt diet? When I was in the navy we used to do what were called "attack swims" these were underwater swims maybe 1 - 2 miles depending on this or that but carrying heavy mines. My legs used to cramp up something awful, the MO gave me salt tablets but after that I increased my salt level in my diet slightly and that did the trick for me. Downside is now I'm addicted to the stuff, I like a bit of food with my salt but never ever get cramps any more.

Hey I travel and have a very simple rig, a combo amp, a lead and two basses Just plug it in and go make myself look pretty or more accurately plug in in and go find a corner to hide until on time
