Thunderbird Club

It appears to just crawl the web looking for all reviews in categories (which it probably derives from said review sites, but it may be curated). So anything that says straplock or a close variant ends up on that page.
Replace the category word in the URL with a word with multiple meanings and see if anything fun shows up.

I was hoping to see it somehow not take the search term literally and also show strapons.

show strapons.

I can no longer sit silent.

Ahem!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear about your hands. Good thing you have the short scales. Your Greco looks like an absolute beast. Lots of us will be having lustful thoughts about buying it. With any luck, one of us will actually have the money and it will stay in the family.

Hey! That wasn't even innuendo*.

My sentiments also.

It's a little comforting to know that we Amis aren't the only ones to be so shortsighted about the shutting down of trains, there were so many Interurban lines throughout western Washington - all gone of course, what a help they would be to our current traffic struggles.

Yeah, you all lament the disappearance of local rail. But where are you on great lakes shipping!?


Quick Review of the Sound of Music ( Link Removed ) kick off show Saturday:
Missed the first couple of opening acts.
Crown Lands - two guys - a drummer/singer and guitar/bass/keys. Enthusiastic, but two guys trying to make as much noise as they can. No room for the songs to breathe.
Monster Truck - I have never listened to them even though people have told me that I would like them. Well, hearing them live has ensured that I won't bother with any of their studio material. So much hi-mids that it was like an ice pick through your head (with ear plugs in no less). The singer couldn't sing in tune and the back up singer couldn't sing in tune with either the singer or the band.
Headstones - absolutely killed it. Hugh Dillon is still a great front man, but as an over 40 TV star now, the punk rock façade doesn't hold well; but he was wearing a Teenage Head shirt, so he gets some credit. It feels like he is trying to play Joe Dick (from the movie Hard Core Logo) rather than being himself. But the band rocks and he holds the crowd. And they played what you wanted to hear - last few songs he asked what the crowd wanted and we got Fvck You, Edmund Fiztgerald, and Cemetery.
Live - fantastic show. I have never been a huge fan, but I won't turn them off. Played everything really well.
Bush - Didn't stay to see them, but could hear them. Great songs and well played.

The highlight really was Headstones.

Got 3 records to finish up and starting to feel the pressure! Eskimo Brothers live record should be done this week, then more overdubs on two other records...

This tune by Mike Lynch may be in the home stretch. Recorded in the drummers bicycle shop. The only thing added after was a little synth part I did before the first rough mix. Pretty sure the bass is my Cataldo NR

I'm listening on computer speakers at low volume at work, so there's the disclaimer. But - it sounds pretty polished to me.

Duke - sounds great!
The bass track has an exceptionally nice sound. Can you tell us more about the Bass signal chain... what Bass was used, The Pups and onboard settings, which strings, finger or pic, any pedals, did you cab and mic or go direct? Again really nice crisp bass that fits very good in the mix, slipping out front when it needs to and sliding to the back when it should. Very well done!

Thanks! It’s my Cataldo NR41, ThunderBucker 66 pickup, KS BassBurner nickel strings, blue Dunlop Tortex pick direct into my Reiner 6SL7 tube pre. A little plugin compression after the fact.

I like this a lot Mark!

Thanks, V!

Like the kid's start in music. I hope he passes it along somehow if/when he had kids.

I’m assuming your referring to the kid playing the Randy Rhoads solo. He’s got the raw talent, but learns everything from tabs/YouTube. I’ll say “play Bb” and he doesn’t know what that is...

I'm referring to my own kid. My day job paid for a lot of things that he's benefiting from. That's what parents are supposed to do! Now I just need to figure out how to become independently wealthy so he can support his kid or kids without needing to get a day job that limits his music career. I sure can't help him make money playing.

Never could workout if it was pronounced Live or Live ?
