Thunderbird Club

Gonna have to play Brown Eyed Girl Nov 3rd. I hate the title most of all.

'Nuff said.

I have brown eyes, but I'm not a girl. Have known some pretty special females with brown eyes though. My mom used to say it was because I was full of :poop: (holding hand at my forehead) "up to here". She was a kidder....

I just listened to BEG - when I first heard it in '66? I thought it was The Rolling Stones because VM sounded like Mick Jagger to my ears. For sure it was overplayed and still is - but it's a pretty decent pop song and the bass-line is simple and fun to play.

That statement covers pretty much 100% of the repertoire for me.
LOL - not sure if I'm reading your response correctly, but if you're referencing the music you've created and posted here I'd disagree. I like it a lot, very edgy Prog in my mind. In fact, I think it would be cool if you and @dukeorock collaborated on a tune or two and put out something for the club here. He's kind of going in a similar direction but with different tools. A combined effort of two very talented musicians, each building on the others work would be interesting and a club exclusive!

Id be into that!

My wife has dark brown eyes. I don't mind playing that song. It makes for happy audiences, and that's good.
 
Ribbon rabbit hole derail coming.

There's an Oktava ML-17 on Reverb for $250, including shipping from Russia. I'm not going to bite, because it's got issues, and I have other things to blow cash on. But, it's intriguing. It's a cardioid ribbon mic, which is my GAS kryptonite. It could be awful even working correctly, but it looks the part of a big pill ribbon mic, and it's mostly unidirectional. I'm resisting for now. Things like that have a habit of hanging around on Reverb for a long time. If it is still there next year, I might have to bite.
