I love our drummer to death - he's from Detroit and a serious musician. He's also a serious aging juvenile deliquent - but we humor him all the same and give him a long leash. It's the concessions you make that determines the longevity of a band. High maintenance? somewhat.., but we all love him and he is a damn good drummer.
Ah, yes. A relationship. Those are good things.I love our drummer to death - he's from Detroit and a serious musician.

That really is some fantastic Ginger Ale.Get him some Vernors and put a smile on his face, guaranteed.
My friend..... got to do an intro show with him on his last gig in our hometown, Beaumont Texas. Even had the James Cotton Band on stage too.
I stretch them, tune, stretch, a few times, play awhile retune...I like to give them a few days before I do the final adjustments.
For a different cocktail, add a shot of Jamison and a bit of lime in a tall class of ice. A tasty fall drink. Recommended for THUNDERBIRD players.Get him some Vernors and put a smile on his face, guaranteed.
I think it is GLX-D. It was expensive, but it is rechargeable and the battery in the transmitter lasts forever even if you forget to plug it in. The cord from instrument jack to transmitter is three feet, which is too long for for my preferences, but there are aftermarket shorter or longer cables. It sounds the same as playing by way of a cord to me. There have only been a handful of issues with it, and those were because I wandered too far away and out of the line of sight. By now, there is probably better technology. Maybe. I am pretty sure Shure still sells the same one. There is a rack version and the stomp box version I use. The rack version might get you more range because the receiver is probably not on the floor. I cannot remember how long I have had it now. It gets used multiple times a week and always has. Mine was a second or a return or something. I don't remember now. It has been five or six years now. I cannot imagine going back to a cord again.
Wow!Pugs are cute! (in a smushed-up sort of way!) There's no getting around that!
Funny story - when visiting my partner Beth's twin sister & family in Portland, I did a painting of their pug "Buddy" while I was there. We held Buddy, Beth took a pic with her iPhone and printed out a b&w image to work from. I would get up early and work on it quietly in the rec-room/kitchen area before everyone got up. (including Buddy, asleep in the kitchen) When I was nearly finished, Buddy woke up suddenly, faced the painting and started barking! Done!I worked on it a bit more (mostly to darken his mussel) and it now resides above their fireplace!

With California plates. It is blocking Liberace's limo.
Problem solved! I probably ought to figure out something like that. I clip it to the Thinderbird's strap or the upright's bow quiver. Not my belt. It would be completely destroyed if I did that. Forgetting and walking away with it still plugged in would happen, probably sooner rather than later. Oooh, shiny! CRASH! Self awareness prevents future disasters sometimes.
Of any kind? What a pity.
