Thunderbird Club

[RedVee]

I have a female cycling friend who did a cycling trip years ago to Australia. She was riding with mostly guys and hadn't eaten enough while on the road and remarked "Boy, I'm really bonking!" (meaning she's running out of energy from not eating something) All the guys cracked up and you probably know why.

I do.

For a novelised lesson in strine look up They’re a Weird Mob. Old now, but good. There is also a movie version

Agreed - I love the way they used space and dynamics. Mark Hollis passed away earlier this year.

and Paul Webb has to have some the best taste in bass playing..... a lesson in counterpoint playing imo..

My bandmate Ginger Chien speaking at an event in Seattle about being a part of The Nasty Habits, she is without doubt the most wonderful person, best bandmate and friend - I'm very fortunate to know her.

That's beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.

!!! directed by one of my favorite directors - Michael Powell! (The Red Shoes - Peeping Tom) Looks like a fab 1966 romp! Thanks for the tip-off.

The Epiphone pickguard is a drop in fit on USA model at least based on my '18 example.

I do not believe that this PG is an Epiphone PG. The Thunderbird on every Epiphone PG I've ever seen is made of straight lines only, none curved.

It is entirely possible that the shop I bought it from was confused. I'm just happy it fit correctly.

Get busy for a couple days, fall 600 posts behind. Sounds about right

Made it home from my Mediterranean trip early this morning. I am skipping the 75 +/- pages that have been added since I left. Did I miss anything important? I figure there was a lot of car and food talk with a sprinkling of TBird discussions as well.

Other than voting you in as our delegate to the UN, you didn't miss much. We put an item on your agenda, BTW, making the Thunderbird the official bird of planet Earth. We were going to push for official stormbringer, but Norway Musicians Union made Thor their representative, and that didn't seem like a hill we wanted to die on.
