There's soooo much I miss about that time of my life (and a few things I definitely would have done differently!). Oh, well. Time moves on!

Reminds me of that time someone Slashed my tire... ?

Back on topic...

Wow, will you look at that??? Mick, back when he was just a young girl! ?

Funny stuff Dave! My live playing days ended in 1984 when I broke my arm real nasty and couldn't use my left arm for months. This is actually why I discovered Cakewalk! I was able to enter notes in mathematically (and then using a dead MIDI keyboard) and still make some noise. That said, I did play roadie for a few gigs with friend's bands and I was always VERY methodical and OCD about things. Everything was labeled, stored where I knew its location and with backup gear. All of my personal gear tended to stay only in my studio. You can see my Octavia on the left-side of this pic:

I still remember MAD Magazine cartoons from the 60's and 70's that were predicting future things. One I that I still recall had a lady who accidentally dropped the fake mask she would use for video conferencing. It revealed that she was only in night attire and rollers. LOL! [Note that I have had to do Teams, Skype and Zoom meetings, but "sorry, my computer camera doesn't work!" ? ]

In my best work times I made a LOT of money and, being of a very athletic build, used to wear custom suits and ties. I also understood that the correct tie (knotted properly) was supposed to "tie" in the colors of the suit, shirt and pocket square. Now I literally do most of my work in shorts and a t-shirt with bare feet (ahh!). That said, I like his tie and it would have probably found a home in the 80+ I still have and never wear. This thread makes me realize just how much things have changed! On "Casual Fridays" I didn't have to wear a suit and this is what I got to wear the below instead. If I were to wear this to a client now, I'd be considered over-dressed! Weird...

Likin' today's musical path. ?

I got the notice about this, but forgot about it until now (I'll put it on the "to get" list after I get paid - got a couple there already). I've got albums from three different Magenta's: English (as I call them - a bit more folksy), Welsh (prog - like 'em!) and Norwegian (which is one of my guilty pleasures - My favorite album from them - Art and Accidents).

Just heard about a guy who proved that wearing a con-dom doesn't always protect you. He was still wearing his when he got shot by the girl's boyfriend... [Edit: WTF is wrong with the censor bot here??? It censors normal words, but doesn't do shit for the ones you would expect to be censored!]

But can you get away with playing the "forbidden riff" at GC, if you tell them you're only playing the Gilligan's Island theme? ?

*Pfft...* Bass Players!

That one keeps coming up on my YouTube feed, but I've been too afraid to watch it! LOL.

Is that Peter Bus Les bian?

I can't see what you did there.

Black Mics Matter! ? (This was my favorite for voice-over work.)

Hehe... Funny stuff Dave, but I couldn't help getting pictures in my head of Flea acting like a complete spaz.

I see what you did there!

Hey, what can I say? I'm a rebel. I like to speak the unspoken stuff and answer hypothetical questions too! ?

True, but he also said "You can't always write a chord ugly enough to say what you want to say, so sometimes you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream." So, there is that to consider as well...

Not sure, but it appears that he's a single male and 27...

Bapu's posting so much lately, some catchup is required! ?
