Thunderbird Club

[JIO]

yeah, not one of my favorite areas.... Claypool and crew are from down the street in Richmond...

? if it isn't too personal, why is it not one of your favorite area's?

We have a show coming up at our local Winters Tavern (Fri March 27th - planned months ago) but no replies back from numerous venues inquiring about playing at their club in the upcoming months. I have a feeling it's already going on here.

We have a dinner gig scheduled for the 9th. No word about cancellation, but there's a few weeks between now and then. Anything could happen.

My son's living comes from playing gigs. I hope he doesn't get cancelled out of existence.

Not at all, just the general surroundings, Chevron and Valero are customers of mine and I get up to Richmond and Benicia fairly often and although as per CA environmental laws, these massive refineries remain fairly well ‘hidden’ that smell is always there...

Well, it's becoming an across the board thing - clubs/venues, church services, general events, parties, gatherings, sporting events, anything associated with groups people congregating.

Good to see you my friend.

I'm here. Don't mean to go all silent. But that's probably a plus for the gang.
Just been a lot going on, but all is ok.

I always thought they were from a bayou. Shows what I know.

I can think of a reason for that...

I haven't been in one of those flying buses since Dec.,70. I don't miss them.

They have changed a little over 50 years. Not all for the better...

Oh, I see. I've only visited my friend a few times over the years and did some bike racing close to the dam there in the past.

 

[PillO]

I'll be right next to you filling the hole back up.

I have learned a lot from movies. We will probably end up with a zombie problem.

I thought that the first couple of years I heard them, but then I started reading Rolling Stone back when it was worth reading. (Has it recovered? I gave up looking eons ago.)

My employer has asked me to cut travel. That's going to be a challenge, since my clients are scattered all over the place. On the other hand, I'm going to enjoy not getting on airplanes.

We have countries we can't travel to, and other travel needs additional approval. Non-employees have to fill out a form about their recent travel history / exposure likelihoods (my words, I can't recall the words from the email). Additional cleaning services engaged, and supplies to help reduce contagion have been passed out. We do that during nastier flu seasons, too.
Handshakes are at an all-time low. I'm pretty sure if anyone tried to leave the bathroom without washing hands they'd get called out. I usually wash hands on the way in AND on the way out.

We're all retirement age; so's our audience-kinda the most likely demographic to be hit hardest. Cancellations imminent, I suspect. I s'pose we could do the St. Patrick's Day dance in July.

Moon suits for all!

and open the bathroom door with a towel on the way out and discard it at the nearest can..

It's a Seymour Duncan "Hawkbucker" - installed in '86. They are still available today - Jeff installed one in his P-bass.
