Fantastic night taking in Jay Farrar and Son Volt. If you ever get the chance to see them, do it.

I knew his brother Joe...

Are you here all week?

That was me for decades til I got healed.

I must have healed as well, I once helped a black widow out of my house with a jar and my wife thought I was smoking the devil’s lettuce cause I didn’t kill it.

Funderbird Friday!

 

[Kriegs]

More Funderbird!

 

[GonePlaid]

the song is like a cartoon but a total winner with any crowd...young...old..etc....people love to sing along...soooooo...we play it...

It's one of the most requested songs, so we play it. Yeah, they "sing?" along, but it keeps the audience and therefore management happy, so no BFD.
Once in awhile some wiseacre hollers "Freebird", thinking he's funny. Ha,ha. We play it. Now put that in yer pipe and huff it, wiseguy.

 

[GonePlaid]

I don’t mind it with good harmonies and a horn section

We're lucky to get paid for 3 pieces(we're 4), so no horns.

Some Thunderbird Thursday video, from July.

Well, I'll be dipped. You can actually hear the bass! Nice.

I think the guitarist forgot to change out of their sneakers after gym class.

To quote my New Yawkuh brethren, "Whaddaclasseebrawd"

Seriously though, great sound!!!

Thanks for sharing! This is for you Jeff (it came up when your vid ended)

Ha!!!, Just perfect Geo!

 

[GonePlaid]

There's a story that Johnny Van Zant hollered Freebird at a Jacksonville Symphony concert. His wife smacked him. Dunno if it's true, but it's funny.

360 sounding pretty good..

When Chuck Norris makes a request, the sensible thing to do is meet that request.

I will take tarantulas over those any day.

At least tarantulas aren't particularly venomous. The bite hurts like hell though I hear.

What is that beautiful Grey bird???? I have never seen one with the pg like that!

 

[Gaolee]

Scorpions.....

Gotta love a drum kit that has two bass drums and one tom. Unless another tom is hiding around to the side somewhere.

[edit] There is a second tom hiding of to his left. I still like it.

 

[Gaolee]

...drink wine?

That's it! I couldn't remember.

That's my Thunderbird Short Scale re-finished with a silver burst and a silver headstock accent. She's beautiful isn't she?

Note the 360 lurking behind the bass player.
