Thunderbird Club

[Count Bassie]

I've seen some amazing shows in Rhode Island (all Providence). Am I anywhere near qualified to criticize?

You play a Thunderbird, don't you?

That light would look like the others if you would stop rubbing up against it.

Ahem.

Now I forget which Thunderbird we're talking about. If it's a VP, I'd be all over Ken Smiths, due to their longer winding length.

It is one of the old classic pro 4s - neck thru, added a Hipshot bridge.

 

[PillO]

yeah, was down there this week....took me 45 minutes to cover 12 miles....

 

[PillO]

Yeah that's the funnest part of it!

I want a miniature, Queen V pose-able action figure!

Yikes and/or Ahem.

Do you want that with or without fried chicken?

The way the EB3 bodies resonate, they're probably illegal in certain states of the USA.

Just the states in which dancing is illegal.

What a thoroughly unpleasant week it has been and the next week promises to be unpleasant also.

We have a situation where one band member's commitment cannot be questioned (in fact commitment strays over the border into obsessive behaviour which the rest of us find 'freaky') but said commitment far outstrips musical ability. The outcome is inevitable, but it's not something I'm looking forward to and hopefully will be the first and only time we need to do it.

It's never easy is it?

Steve Gadd said "People are more important that music" and I try to apply that as much as I can. But there's still that line where one person is making it a bad situation for all the other people. Good luck!

True. However one mustn't let oneself be derailed by other people's issues. People can be agency for trouble.
That's not to say one should be unkind.

People suck. I hate people; although there are some individuals of whom I am quite fond.

You play a Thunderbird, don't you?

True.

For reference, all between 1995 and 2000:

Ace Frehley and Peter Criss (The Strand)
Bob Mould (Lupo's)
The Damned (Lupo's)
Afghan Whigs (Met Cafe)
Richard Thompson (Lupo's)
Violent Femmes (Lupo's)

Oh, damn. So hard to find the balance, because... people. Which instrument is this?

Not guitar or voice ...

Not guitar or voice ...

Boom,boom

 

[PillO]

Not guitar or voice ...

Your bass player is a problem?

 

[mr zee]

Would this look good under my clear pickguard?

 

[BklynKen]

Not guitar or voice ...

The hardest to find and keep, too. You might need to give Echo a call.

YES!

 

[mr zee]

Your bass player is a problem?

Aren't we all.

 

[mr zee]

Aren't we all.

Sulky, moody, shy usually p....d and being downright........well you know what I mean.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Not guitar or voice ...

I suspect as much from previous posts. It's the bass player.

 

[ModuMan]

Not guitar or voice ...

Oh geez. Well, try Steve Gadd then. He'll be cool.

It’d add a bit of weight...

Probably nothing about the risk of drop bears, either. Those are the most dangerous of all the things in Oz that really do want to kill you. Elusive, but lethal.

No drop bears, crocs, snakes or sharks.

We did get
- distance in miles from Seattle to Atlanta...

- No of days with measurable snow in Minnesota over the next year...

The presenter was a decent guy and worked out conversions, and we were working on ranges rather than precise answers.

I just found it amusing, so completely outside of our general experiences. The exercises still worked, once we got past the *** moments.

We'll send you some grizzlies. Some kudzu, too. All the kudzu.

Just send them one section of vine with the the instruction:"drop this and run".

No kudzu please.
