In the 60s, many went to San Francisco to find themselves...
Thanks, he seems to be doing well, I fly back tomorrow my wife and son Tuesday. We are staying in a super Airbnb and using Lyft to get around. Much better than a hotel or car rental .
Lol!! what does people finding themselves have to do with Lou's Fish Shack?...
Yes, but if they were to read your 'mock', they'd mis-translate it anyway.
yeah "seabugs" lol!
As a person with gen-u-wine Appalachian ancestry, I embrace the term. I would much rather be a hillbilly than a redneck.
I dunno about that. The "guitarist" I decided to avoid after one session had not tuned up. He said he had tuned the night before. Um....
It depends on the bass (or maybe I should say base just to be up to date around here). I put DR Red Devils on my 7enderbird and they sound great. It is really a Precision in all but shape, which is very different from a Goth.
"It was tuned at the factory".
I was going to like that post. Then the last paragraph came along. All the best to you and everyone else he left behind.Full day today, good and bad. Spent most of the day doing rough mixes for the Mike Lynch tracks I recorded Sunday and Monday. The Glyn Johns drum mic techniques plus a snare mic is a really beatiful thing.
Went to my weekly gig with Derek Hoke. Someone told me Rob Crowell has left something for me to look at. Rob Crowell is a remarkable musician who plays, sax, keyboards, bass and drums at the highest level. He does stadium gigs on every instrument. Dude’s a freak of nature. What he left for me to try out was a Greco T Bird. He knows we both love T Birds, but he has an odd fetish for Japanese knock offs and he wanted to see what I thought of Greco’s. I wound up playing it for my gig and it was absolutely fantastic! Huge sounding with a great bark in the mids. I’d buy one in a heartbeat knowing what I now know. He told me to hang onto it for a week...twist my arm
On a much sadder note, my dear friend, mentor and former bandmate, Rick Elias, passed away earlier this evening. Still attempting how to process such a loss. The world is a lot less interesting and cool right now.

All the best to you and your son. I hope you have a little time.
I love old Honda motorcycle owner's manuals for the pure poetry of mis-translations.
Heart, man. Losing friends is awful, especially in this place.Full day today, good and bad. Spent most of the day doing rough mixes for the Mike Lynch tracks I recorded Sunday and Monday. The Glyn Johns drum mic techniques plus a snare mic is a really beatiful thing.

It's ok if you're not mean-spirited about it. Taking it into insult territory is no fun for anyone.Mocking is a cheap shot - I'd rather celebrate the humorous misinterpretation as poetic re-phrasing.
