Replacing members is never easy and lead singers are one of the most difficult to replace for a number of reasons. Fingers crossed!

I sat and talked with a really cool Israeli woman on Thursday, tall with dark hair, a bit exotic really, and very down to earth genuine. I want her to work out, it would be a big change for us.

Seeing as we are completely off the rails. Out shaking the trees today and this fell out of Facebook market place a 20 year old Epiphone EB3, I can't believe they have been around that long. These aren't for everybody but they are a good take on the EB3 especially for the price. I ordered a Artech 30k mudbucker for it, should really make it come alive. I gave it a cleaning, new strings and a set up, plays great! These early ones have a rosewood fingerboard and solid mahogany body. Once the Artech 30k is installed it will compare favorably to a 70s EB3L.

I did a bad thing... I know we have Thunderbird Thursdays and Fender Fridays, but what to I do with this? When I saw the ad in my local classifieds I thought it had to be a faker because the price was too low, but the guy was just blowing out his "extra" gear, so I couldn't resist. The thing doesn't even look like it was played in the store, let along since he bought it. He had a beautiful 5 string Warwick on the wall that has been his #1 for years, and said he bought this, played it once or twice, and then sat for five years. I think I have a problem...

I had a 2006 Epi EB-3L. I liked how it sounded, how the neck played, the intuitive 3 position switch, and the weight. I also 'admired'(?) its ability to dive like a Stuka. Probably the main reason I sold it. The new owner was quite happy with the fact it looked brand new.
Here's a video of it(and me)in 2014. The amp is a 1970 Kasino. Still have it.

Thanks. This was a once a month car show gig(since cancelled by the community). The sax man was/is not a regular part of our group. We never rehearsed with him. He'd call a tune he could sing/play, we'd ask "what key?", and it was 'arrangements made while you wait'. This was one of the few gigs that paid enuff to be able to use him.
