Thunderbird Club

An Outback is all you need Mike, they work really well for working musicians.

3 Thunderbirds and 2 GK 4x10s, plus my clothes.

The construction team who was building our gazebo saw the old upright piano in our den and asked my sweetheart "who plays?". They had been looking for a keys player forever. I ain't no Billy Powell but when I auditioned I noticed the bass player also plays a thunderbird...a blackbird to be exact. You can see it on a stand behind him after my shaky piano solo. That Leon fella was a really good bassist and liked his birds. Anyways these folks rarely get together but they are very good at what they do.

Nice. We do it but with just 4-2 G's, D's, and B. BTW, I sing the high(girl's)harmony part. I'm blessed with a stupidly high falsetto.
Yer piano part was excellent, BTW.
 
I was out last night to see 54-40. Canadian Alt/Grunge/Pop rockers from the 90s.

Simple 3/4 chord songs with great grooves.






That's fun stuff I like it.

54-40 Refers to a boundary dispute between the U.S. and Canada for those of you needing an historical factoid.

For me my 2014 Honda Odyssey is the perfect gear hauler. 3-5 basses, three heads, 3-4 cabs, cable case and pedal board plus suitcase etc. Hauls this pile of gear with ease. Best gear hauler I ever owned.
