Admitting to the fact I'm an "olde phart", I don't understand the jumping and dancing around playing droning 1/8th notes, acting like one's doing something. A) my knees won't allow it, 2), no room on our venue's
stages(assuming we actually have a stage), and III), I gotta stay in range of the mic I sing into.

Depending on what I'm playing, I move a lot. I find that it helps with timing, if nothing else. Playing while standing stock-still would be impossible, which means I'll never succeed in a DEVO tribute band. Dancing around with the upright is a whole lot of fun. You wouldn't think it is possible to dance around playing drums, and you would be mostly right. But it can be done a bit. If there's no moving, I always screw up the groove no matter what instrument it is.

Being a little hyper doesn't go away with age. Surprise!

As long as we are discussing amplifiers, this one intrigues me. Not at that price, and I don't care who it belonged to. And, I need another one like I need a hole in the head, but I sure would love to find out what an original 361 with a horn sounds like and to check out what they did with the preamp head. I can see there's no tuning fork circuit in that one, but it does have the variamp and fuzz circuits. I don't care for the black center panel, but that's probably because I think any ACC amp should have a blue panel somewhere.

Wiki and a couple of other sites identify Ron Wood being part of the session that did Maggie May, as playing 6 and 12 str guitars and bass. He's the only one listed as bass player on that song, so far as I've seen.

Cool- I had no idea! I love the Faces, but don't know much about them. I just assumed all those songs were Ronnie Lane, but then I also assumed Bill Wyman played bass on all the Stones stuff, and some of it was Keith.
