So true. I only tend to hear something when I'm sticking out like a sore thumb.Thanks for that! I usually don't get any feedback from my bandmates and friends in the audience on my sound so I really appreciate a fellow bass-players critical input.

Ah, when people thought Bud was good beer.

Yep. I changed it back to PICK GUARD from several things. And still missed it. Some days...spellcheck!
There's a reason I'm a knuckle dragging luddite sometimes.

The Shameless Pillars of Society start with Peter Gunn and then go into Brand New Cadillac. It's a bit like what the Brian Stetzer Orchestra did, only without horns and in a different order. All on the upright for me.

Great name - I occasionally sit in with "Respectable Citizens" . I bet PG sounds great with an upright.

Spellcheck lurks at every key!

Yeah, most of them came back different, and back then the diagnosis was, "Suck it up! Don't be a pansy!"
definitely one of the conflicts it’s veterans NEVER talk about. intentionally or not, doesn’t seem very well documented either. must have really svcked...
Yep. It’s really good. There are a few others of note too. One about his early years before he invented Ziggy is really interesting.
I have an old cassette tape of bowie called images, recorded 1966/1967 on the deram label. deram dropped bowie in 1968 but released this recording in 1973

I think it does. We just added a guitarist who can do the horn parts fairly convincingly, so that helps.
Yeah, and there were massive problems for returning POWs that I can't discuss here because it might be deemed political. I'll just note that in my opinion, nearly as much damage was done by a certain infamous senator from that time and his minions to freed US POWs as had been done by their captors across the ocean.
I thought it was Spanish ... my history lessons are so far away...
My time in the NAVY, 64 to 68[pre THUNDERBIRD ownership]wasn't a popular time to be in the service. I was never spat on, but some of the looks I got were 'less than supportive'. I get far more "Thank you for your service" now than I ever did back then. FWIW, the cap in my avatar reads USS Yorktown, CVS 10-my first ship.
funny you say that, I recently heard a Parisian tell a French Canadian to please speak to him in English cause he couldn’t understand him...
In the late 70s, we had some palace guards from Spain staying in the hotel where we played. They could understand our English better than Cuban Spanish.funny you say that, I recently heard a Parisian tell a French Canadian to please speak to him in English cause he couldn’t understand him...
I bought the LP when it was released. Still have it in my “toxic waste dump” as my wife refers to the closet full of vinyl. He was obviously finding himself early on. I’m as hardcore a fan as there is. Even I have a hard time with The Laughing Gnome.
Yeah, that was a dark time in our history. "Love everybody" often didn't extend to those in the military. One of my neighbors a few years after that was a vet with pretty serious PTSD (I forget what they called it then). Most people just figured him for a freak who'd done too many drugs. I was one of the few he even admitted to that he'd been in Nam.
I started to write more, but decided not to rant. Thanks for your service, and I'm sorry for how you were treated. There was no excuse.
I don’t know much about the first “conflict” other than my Dad was discharged from the Marines before it started. He lost some of his HS ROTC mates and others came back with amputated
toes and fingers.
During the next conflict, the Air Force housed some POW families at Vandenberg. No one talked about it. Even when some Dads returned, it was one of the subjects no one said much about.
