Thunderbird Club

Dwight Yoakam has at least two! Guitars & Cadillacs, Long White Cadillac
Johnny Cash ~ One Piece At A Time
Quiet Riot ~ Slick Black Cadillac

Could easily be done! Just would be a wide range of music!
Not a huge country fan, but my wife is and she loves Dwight. We’ve seen him five or six times. The guy is the real deal. Recommended for a great experience. And his sound people know what they’re doing.
 
When travelling for business, I do bring both Ativan and Provigil to combat jet lag. If I didn't, I would be a write-off for a couple of days when going to Japan.
Ugh. I just use the grain or the grape. Going to Europe isn’t really the issue once I get there. It’s the first two days back home that destroys me. I don’t do Asia though. Never have and probably won’t. Buddy of mine goes back and forth to Japan all the time like you for work. He’s done it for 35 years and says he’s used to it. I couldn’t do it. I will do OZ though, someday.
 
I’m in…

Widely acknowledged as the first "rock and roll" song.


The reason for that is distorted guitar. A speaker cone tore, but studio time was booked. They went for it with the torn cone and made history.

That is another song we do. I get to do the occasional drag triplets on the doghouse. We also threw in a B section from who knows where. Without the words, it would be a completely derivative original.

Good sound is a rare blessing. Turn down the damn kick drum fer chrissakes!
 
Thunderbird in Action:

I am in an original band with my wife (guitar/vocals) and her brother(drums). We went into the studio of friend, a couple of weeks back and recorded three songs in one 11 hour session.





Totally digging this! Y'all need to come play in Austin. I'd come see you in a heartbeat. I mean, I would anyway, just from knowing you here, but I'd love this if I had no idea who you were. The influences here clearly span the decades of rock, and that always grabs me.
