You also.
3/4ths of our band got together Wed. afternoon to play a little. Felt good-and weird-to play live with others. There was a THUNDERBIRD involved.:bassist::hyper:

Hey GonePaid, good to hear you have been able to get most of your band back together. Spokane county just entered "Phase Two" of reopening, so some gatherings are allowed. I am hoping we get back to rehearsing soon. I dearly miss playing music and having a beer with friends on Tuesday nights.
Take care.

Happy Friday everyone. Glad to see the end of another work week. The working from home thing is getting better and I find myself wishing it might stay that way. Considering a few days off from practice due to soreness in my pinkie. Taking lessons by Zoom and not certain if it is the metronome work, or an alternating technique I have been practicing. My instructor has been having me practice, and try to speed up playing two strings at the same fret. I am learning I'm your Captain by Grand Funk Railroad, specifically the part where it sounds like A and D played at the 5th fret. Not certain why I am struggling with this. Plan to peruse the technique section, maybe some hand stretching might help.
While at my desk yesterday, listened to most of Wings over America, hadn't heard it in years, but remember getting the album eons ago. Sir Paul plays some very tasty bass lines on those records.
Have a good Friday folks, and a great weekend.
Stay well.

Glad you are doing well. "I'm Your Captain" is such a cool song and a fun one to play! Keep at it!

I noticed when we practiced and played last Sunday, I had the exact same experience. It felt really good to be playing again, but it also felt kind of odd and disconnected in some weird way.

I don't know Tbirdians, I'm getting close to moving the Lull T5. I know the conventional wisdom is don't, but I just don't need a 5er in my only gig band which is Classic Hard Rock, and down tuning isn't needed (superb vocalist). Although at 9 lbs, the Lull isn't heavy, my sub-8 lb Embassy's are so much easier on my 68 year old body (35 years of soccer didn't help). I would either sell upright, or trade down or up towards a Lull T4, PT4, etc., or Dingwall D-bird/D-roc. The thought of having a Lull T5 is great, but I already have 2 fantastic 5s which are hangar Queens, actually 3 if you count the LB75f, and don't need 4. Talk me in or out of it... sigh...
