After you play that version, the CCR version seems so slow and plodding. I used to do a bass solo after the guitar solo. It just happened one night, so we kept doing it.

There’s another really cool version in colour, but the link won’t work.

Nothing worse than having the rug pulled out from under...My Gibson rep texted a picture of a ‘21 NR and said, “I can ship this right now if you’re ok with Pelham instead of Inverness.” I said Fine, I’ll take it!
Got back from my mountain bike ride to find out they made a mistake and that one was already spoken for
Chuck, when you decide to restring the Greco consider giving the hard tail a try. I found on my Greco IV with GHS Boomers that it made a noticeable difference. Got more sustain (not that I really needed it) and got better intonation (the silks were riding on the saddles without the hard tail), attack was more pronounced and notes rang a bit clearer. As a side benefit, a bridge cover and hard tail stringing makes the Greco look much more vintage, if you like that look.
On the down side, my Greco II with TI Jazz Flats does suffer from slight three point slippage when the hard tail is used. I suspect it’s because the TI strings are relatively low tension vs the Boomers, therefore not enough pressure to keep the three point firmly in place (note - it takes weeks of playing for the three point to begin migrating south, and a quick push with the palm sets it right back in place). Haven’t had any migrating three point issues with the Boomer equipped Greco IV.
I'm in negotiations now....

There was a local band in which all the members were Pisces. Working for scale.

There really is. The cover band has a couple members who are horn players, among other things. When the trumpet and sax come out, it's a complete blast. One of these days, I want to play a gig where people can be a bit rowdy, but also where I can play with a bow a bit on the upright and have a horn section. Audiences go berserk when the bow comes out for some reason. It doesn't matter how bad you are at it. Same with horns.
