Thunderbird Club

I think there are some around that can hear the punctuation in my speech.

And some here can hear color in it.

Just because:

Y'ever feel like the rest of the club is a tuxedo and we're a pair of brown suede shoes?

Too soon. (It's been less than a year since my god-daughter's bf's cat mauled me.)

 

[Count Bassie]

OK, a little more seriously... I have been told that I write exactly like I speak and that since I speak well, I write well. I think there are some around that can hear the punctuation in my speech.

I may be funnier when I have been drinking, but my spelling, grammar, and sentence structure suffer (oral and written, ahem).

I think it's true that when you write mindfully your personality becomes manifest in it. Just seems sensible actually.

Never listened to new York dolls... bad in the best way.... I like bad music.... it’s amazing how despite having no real skills as a musician a person can be so musical...

There are so many bands that play their instruments terribly but as far as song structure goes they write really good stuff... and a lot of it usually...

Sometimes I wonder if it’s just because they lacked the pretentious pitfalls of perfection or even a desire for it..... write and record, write and record, don’t talk, don’t doubt, just do it and shut the fxxcup


Rock N Roll at its Finest by Lack of Design!!!!!

View attachment 3276022 Here’s Geddy Lee Of Rush with a Thunderbird on the R40 Live tour in 2015.

And no neck dive...

Not a reverse, but Geddy bought this from I guy I know. I was interested but it was in his personal collection. I guess Geddy made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Noticing all the T-Birds on the wall, it seems he apparently likes some Bird on occasion.

Same '64 below but the color is washed by lighting and you can't tell it.

This 1976 caught my eye. Amazing how much they looked like the 2014s.

That's not something i would expect from Japan, high prices yes, but not the inaccuracy.

Thank you, my dear.


My guess is that someone just used the wrong picture set or vice versa.

I'm guessing the chap doesn't know the difference in meaning between "120th Anniversary Edition" and "Bicentennial".

And no neck dive...

Out of frame is two roadies; one fighting gravity and the other repairing the broken headstock.

Feel free.

Could anyone tell me what's the size of the truss rod wrench? 4mm allen fits loose. Maybe 4,5mm?

Thanks.

Someone more knowledgeable than I can prolly tell you, but it's most likely "American" not metric.

If it takes an allen wrench it's an Epiphony and it's metric.

See? Someone with a lot more knowledge than I'll ever have.
