Seeing T.Rex = Happy memories! At the Paramont in downtown Seattle.

Jealous!

Mine's twitching like Chief Insp. Charles Dreyfus' in the Pink Panther movie

I thought that's what you meant.

You may be related to yerself.

I always kidded before about people that "ain't right" by saying, "Clearly the family tree doesn't fork." A friend always laughed. I later found out his Dad was his Grandfather..... Sick &^$##. Tall tree. Short rope. Done.

T. Rex at the Paramount is a bit like seeing the Dead Kennedys at the Beacon Theater in NYC. It was a complete non-sequitur visually, but it sure was fun.

DK didn't really play at the Beacon, did they? That makes no sense.

I couldn't remember when that show was.......Looked up their tour dates, it was Saturday Oct.19th 1974.

They did, with about nine other bands to lead off. It was nuts. And no it didn't make sense. But 1982 or 1983 when it happened didn't make much sense, either.

Gotcha. The Justices came over in about 1630 or so. They had a "plantation" but ran out of money pretty fast and disappeared into Tennessee. I don't know much about the other side, but they were in Wilkes County for a long time. My grandfather was gassed in WWI and came back shell shocked. After he put himself back together again, he married my grandmother and ran a furniture factory in North Wilkesboro. That's where my mother and uncle grew up. The furniture factory burned in the 1950s, and he died before I was born, so there's plenty of missing information. That's not necessarily a bad thing, considering the likelihood (near certainty) of some weirdness buried in there somewhere.

One of my younger sisters had a Justice as her first husband, in TN. Probably related?

Marc Bolan and I.

Learning an album’s worth of material is a good goal! I’m slowly revisiting Led Zeppelin 2 and figuring out stuff I didn’t really get properly when I was a teen.

Yeah. Chords and keys. No internet. Sometimes we got it right, sometimes close enough. Now I aspire to note for note. That was really hard in the seventies, early eighties when I was in bands.

It's still Thunderbird Thursday!
A couple of birds getting cozy:

It's a cool 65 degrees at IN THE FOG RECORDS studio! Outside is simply atrocious heat.
Think I'll have another drink, something to warm me up, hahaha!

OK folks, found something neat on the web. A shootout between a Gibson T-bird and a Ric 4003.

I’ll watch it after the ballgame is over. All I can say now is I always wanted a Ric. Played many in stores over three years. Never found one that felt right. So I’ll buy more Thunderbirds, but I’ll probably never own a Ric.

Most likely setting your joke up.., but shielding is easy using carbon paint. Two coats are best. Use slug-tape (copper tape from the hardware store) on the floor of the cavities and star-ground to that.

But related to your pic, there are people who coat their interior rooms with the carbon shielding paint to eliminate EMF fields. (sensitivity real or imagined) I know because I was hired to do that. Very expensive paint, 2 full coats on walls, trim and ceilings, and then 3 coats of standard interior paint to cover it. It was really hard after a while to be painting inside a totally black room. I'll pass on the next request for doing that.

Really makes one wonder what they’re up to.

Goats, these two were visitors at my train buddy's place the other day.

What freakin' ball game?

I always wanted a Ric and eventually bought one. It was cool and had a unique sound (never could sound like Geddy--for a lot of reasons). Not the Rics fault by any means. But it looked cool, sounded good, but not as good as I hoped, and it never felt good. Had serious neck dive and always felt like I had only played it a few times no matter how much I played it. Just wasn't comfortable. If you can rent one I bet you'd take it back after a few months. I never regretted trading it. I got this Regenerate and some money and love it. Feels, looks and sounds fantastic.

I feel like Chris Matthews hearing Obama talk--I have a tingle going up and down my leg. And I'm not even a Pontiac person.

Pontiacs in the sixties were awesome; at least the GTOs and Firebirds were. Unfortunately the best my Dad bought was a Tempest Station Wagon. Even in Cali, it was a rust bucket. But the 350 in it was bulletproof. Brakes were horrible.
