Thunderbird Club

I admit, I had to look that one up. And wasn't sure what I was going to find. :wideyed: Etiology of words can be interesting and weird. I've known a couple people into that and I'm not sure they knew that's what they were called. Sounds like a hair doctor for a horse. So I would have been way off if I just guessed....


"That's gotta suck for a ferroequinologist."

I thought it was akin to a doctor who worked in train cabooses. I know it's far fetched, I combined Iron Horse and proctologist. Hey I wasn't too far off. :laugh:

The Thunderbird Club will have a get together in Santa Cruz, CA July 2,3 2022, we don't have all the details worked out just yet - stay tuned. We'll likely have some food and adult beverages a couple of times and we may visit @Chucky Stiletti's home as well.

Well hot damn. I've been a Whigs fan for ages and had no idea there were Birds involved.

I have no clue if he actually uses Birds or if its just for the video. I have seen footage of him with MM, Jazz, and P basses over the years. He always seems to have a nice growly sound tho.
