Thunderbird Club

I installed the hipshot bridge on my new epi cp last night. A really great piece of hardware but, I find it to feel different under my pick hand. (I rest my hand on the bridge). So, I’m sticking with old one but, keeping the hipshot tuners. If anyone is looking for a hipshot 3 point bridge, pm me.
I’m still trying to figure out what strings came on it, ghs boomers I think.

Could be - they were professional runway models whose lives normally consisted of starving themselves and being bullied by fashion designers! It must have been like a R&R vacation!
I watched documentary about the fashion industry and it was incredible what went on.

I had no idea that most male models were assassins.
 
That's really terrible. But you can't say they weren't warned.
I know. Not to get off the Thunderbird track too much, but two separate families met at her grandmothers house and one family stayed in the basement while the other came up and visited the grandmother. In the basement the Family with the infected person didn't wear a mask until the other family came down to go upstairs. Not smart. The young lady thought she had a sinus infection. What I've told people in my circles is if you think you're sick with anything stay the heck away. Phone it in. Normally this family is really careful but one time caught up with them.

When people say that human nature is basically good (or wise) I can't help but laugh!

So the epiphone classic I received today was strung with what seemed to be light gauge nickel. The store thinks they may have put Ernie balls on it but, I don’t see any that look like this.

Anyone know what these are? Ernie ball, ghs boomers?
Someone may have chimed in by now, but look more like boomers than EBs.
 
Or all the heat a certain Gov out west got into.....

My assistant's husband has been on a vent for over a week. Last night she called upset that they were talking end of life decisions that might need to be made. They both caught it at a somewhat small family Christmas gathering with some precautions. While the vast majority face little problems, if you are one that does, it's a pretty big deal. Nothing to fool with.
I don’t know what to say. Other than we’ll pray.
 
Sooo '80s - (but a great song!)


I was as big a Yes fan as there was until 1980’s Drama. I saw then every time they came to SoCal beginning with the Tales tour. They’ll always be one of my favs. Drama had one decent track. The tour bombed. The guys had to figure out how to feed their families. Howe had checked out to Asia. That song pretty much saved them. Generally not my thing, but it’s really fun to play and is certainly easier to learn than their other stuff.
