Thunderbird Club

[Count Bassie]

Yeah, I'm usually the one running the PA, trying to get instruments/amps mic'ed, etc. I'll prolly give up and join the wireless movement as soon as we start working some more. The season's starting late this year(in FL it's Nov. to May +/-).

I bought an old Nady wireless converted from lavalier mic to instrument, $50. Works great. I too love to be able to go around untethered, not stepping on my own progress over a morass of cables and crowded real estate. And I can mosey, or run, over to the other side of the stage to harass the guitarist during his solo. I mean be supportive...

Don't like political ads? Kill your TV and steal your entertainment from the interwebs. Problem solved.

Love the new avatar.

People do not mosey enough these days. The world would be a better place with more moseying.

That'd be great-except for watching live sports w/o paying extra for them.

You’re just not looking in the right places.

Heartily agreed.

 

[GonePlaid]

Before I screwed up my knees, I was the king of the 100 yard mosey(as pictured in "The Far Side").

You’re just not looking in the right places.

Computer room on one side of the house, comfortable bed to watch hockey, etc., on other side of house. Screen on flip phone too small to see anything.

Looking west from the back end of the Edmonds ferry on the trip home last week................
That's the Olympic mountains in the distance, I love it here!

 

[Gaolee]

Home, rehearsals, gigs - it’s all easier when you can just walk wherever you want without being tethered to something.
Especially when you are the tech guy / problem solver in the band.

Funny how that works, isn't it! I'm also the guy with the van. I'm pretty sure how Band Mom got his name, too.

 

[Gaolee]

I, too, hate the ads. They all seem to be telling us how despicable their opponent is but rarely mention what they plan to do differently.

They will disappear by the end of the day Tuesday. Then we are just stuck with the news. That's easier to drown out with loud music.

Very, Loud unabashed, pure freakness music.

I refuse to pay for anything except MLB.TV. I can't watch much other 'live sports' because of the ridiculous number of time outs due to commercials and the inane babbling of ex jock commentators. Most of the time when I do watch it's with the sound muted.

ESPN3 is available free through my internet provider, F1 and F2 with no commercial interruptions is the big draw. I have other things to keep me busy, like reading at least three books a week...and those damn basses don't build themselves.

 

[JJR58]

Here's what i say to politics. Some Brecker Brothers help tear it up.

 

[Gaolee]

Personally, I think Veronica would make an outstanding president, based upon the behavior in this club. As an added bonus President/Queen Veronica would decree Thunderbirds in place of 7ender, and that would be that.

I'm not offing my '71. Ok, i go to bass players jail.

Nah, just floggings. I'm guilty, and would also get flogged, since I'll be keeping my P even though it feels pretty heavy next to any of the 'Birds.

An advantage(?)of having lost some hearing over the years is being able to tune out things I don't wanna hear. 'Course I also lose some things I'd like to hear, but at my age I've heard enough.
