I like it! Can you tell how you’re getting that throne?

Hey man, the only throne that I'm getting is this:

Now seriously. This time I used a comp>darkglass X Ultra> Sansamp Para Driver and that's all.
 
did the charts have to be “approved” by the military? or, could you go from the fake book?
He took sheet music and arranged for up to ~20 musician ensembles. After the war he re-arranged many of his arrangements for the 15-16 piece bands he was in, sometimes changing the keys for "the thrush"(female vocalist-very old jazz term. Kinda like 'mothbox' for pianos)
 
My Strat. But I don't sound like anybody good.

It must be Strat-erday!
My main Strat, which I haven't played in years due to how badly I suck at playing guitar. Note, even my guitars have Humbuckers....

Now discontinued BlackTop Strat, sounds heavenly (more so in somebody else's hands);)
 
It's a balmy 57 degrees, time for an outdoor photo!
Frank and I are off to an early dinner in awhile, with limited seating you have to go early or you won't get a seat! We joke that we're doing the "early bird special" by going to dinner at 5:00PM.....Crazy times!

Great picture my Queen, I have always loved that particular bass! It's the purple:thumbsup:
 
Dregs. That's the band I still think of with him.

I still have the first Guitar Player magazine that I bought from Bilingsley Music in Glasgow. It had Bill Wyman on the cover and contained an article on the Dixie Dregs. That was the first time I had ever heard of them (I was 15 at the time). Its also the band I most associate Steve Morse with.

We have been doing the same thing lately. I hate eating early but if we want to have dinner at a place we like, it has to be early. We have also been making the "early bird special" jokes but most of the time Happy Hour is happening so I don't feel quite so old.

A friend I (used to) go to dinner with liked to eat-or be seated anyway-by 6PM. I'm used to eating more like at 7:30-8ish. Oh, well, we did get to take advantage of the "early bird specials", a staple at S. FL restaurants. We haven't been since last March. I think a coupla the places we went have went.
 
My daughter asked for new bass strings for her 18th birthday!
But.... these are for the upright so we’re looking at D’Addario Kaplans which are $200 for 3. (Her teacher is giving her a new E string he has)
Jeez! And I bit...,er, complain about the price of TI's-which I've never purchased.
 
Hi guys, checking in from the house. Been working out of town lately, just finished a pre-outage yesterday early and ran home till tomorrow late afternoon. Tomorrow I will be headed back to another nuke plant to begin a ten day valve replacement outage. It's pretty small outage to be truthful.
That brings back some memories. Many moons ago I was a designer at GE in the Nuke piping department. Main Steam Isolation Valves, whip restraints, snubbers, and the like on BW reactors. The pipe weld specs and materials of construction alone were pretty crazy. My wife's dad worked on Westinghouse plants which had some real advantages from a maintenance and repair standpoint around the turbines. All that was in the 1970's. Went from that to a different company designing Gasohol plants and then on to a different company designing chemical plants.

So glad to be retired now and playing Thunderbirds. Hmmmm, maybe I need to pull out the CAD software and design a new Thunderbird. ;)

Of all your wonderful Thunderbirds, that one is probably my favorite looking one. Goes great with your highlights as well.
