Please quit making me drool all over my keyboard!
And why not? Very accomplished but very ‘100 years ago’

Peach, Strawberry sauce and vanilla ice cream... sounds yummy
Christine, a past member would probably rejoin the club if she saw that bass..
The late, great Overend Watts.
Steve Priest used a Bird at times.
Heresy: There are players I have never considered as needing a Thunderbird, such as Jack Bruce, Felix Pappalardi, Noel Redding, and Chris Squire. Their tone is just perfect in their contexts.
Of course, jack and Felix still rocked Gibsons.
Counter-heresy: I would love to hear Tommy Shannon with a Thunderbird, preferably with Stevie and Chris. And Berry Oakley. With Duane, of course. Maybe one day.

Alice is now 70ish and he still rocks a great show.
And Alice's band are no slouches. Warning - bird content.
I believe Alice just turned 70 recently. I have seen him twice in the last few years and I have to say, that guy BRINGS IT!!! I spoke to him at a mall on black Friday a few years ago and that Alice seems older and hunched over. Nothing like the guy on stage. Super nice guy any time I have encountered him.
Someone show her!
Sounds like you want to join the corner club.
cool! never seen that clip...he played a P in the one I remember of that song..
thanks!
<EDIT> My first T-Bird which I bought brand new in 83(?) was exactly like that one...beautiful..

Pretty sure Felix used a T Bird on some recordings....
Don't laugh. I remember buying the 45. I think I still have it. Sounded more cool then!
still think that song rocks...
Your Grace is correct! See the youtube clip @bylar13 posted, above...
I'd LOVE to CHROME out that bass, I'm all sproingky just thinking about it.
I will do it! Just gimme a bit of time and you will see...
I think Alice turned 70 a year or more ago. Strange to run into him in the mall; I would have guessed on a golf course.
There is no corner.
This was the second or third album I ever bought.

It still rocks although it does sound a little dated. My brother and I keep talking about doing fox on the run or ballroom blitz.
