Well here it is, just past midnight and still no bird/guitar delivery. Looks like Saturday may be the day.

Its probably a good thing it wasn't delivered today since I spent most of the day at doctors offices trying to figure out why I was having chest pains. Blood pressure was up around 190 over 130 and heart was slowly thumping down around 40bpm. Good news is no issues on the EKG, blood tests will be in the morning after fasting then on to the treadmill for stress testing.

The doctor asked if I was under a lot of stress lately - I smiled and told him yes, not knowing if I bought a guitar or a bass is killing me:laugh:. My wife wasn't amused at the humor:rollno:. Hopefully it arrives tomorrow:thumbsup:.
 
Drove over 7 hours to play a gig. Left Nashville in a T-shirt, drove into a bunch of snow in Ohio at load in. Glad Jamie packed warm clothes in my suitcase! Bar kept tipping us to keep playing past our contracted time...wound up playing 5 hours...gonna sleep good tonight!
Started the show on upright and a fan started yelling “where’s the Thunderbird?!”
Wound up playing the ‘Bird most of the night :)

Hope everything comes out OK for you. And I still think you are getting a trombone.

Yeah, funny weather. Despite several days above freezing, I am aiming for the last day of skiing this season today (unless the weather takes another turn, in which case maybe we are going through to April).

Ya know, these newfangled phones have weather apps on them...
cool about the bird fan!
 
Corporate culture win - both (Ampeg and Mackie) were owned by Loud.
This predates LOUD, which is what Mackie became after investors came in and started acquiring other brands- such as St Louis Music Co, which by then owned the Ampeg brand.
Most of which I didn’t know til now.

Wow, fingers crossed for the only real news being a 2015 Thunderbird.
