"Mr. Bapu? There's a guy from the CDC on Line #1 that wants to talk with you about something." ?

My buddy Walter Trout played in the Bluesbreakers too and I just discovered he made an album in 2017 that included John (a tribute to Jimmy Trapp, his long-time bass player). Here's a pic of me with Walter and Jimmy:

On first glance that channel looks awesome! I'm going to put the link out to some of the psychedelic community out here. ?

?

Wait, we started with the Beatles, added references to the Rolling Stones and now you're including the Who Bob??! ? ?

Since I have well over 25 DAYS worth of psychedelic video, I just sent you a PM Dave! ?

Yes. ?

While attempting to not dance with the Devil, I'll slip this in here... Damn jokesters! ?

"What's to know?" ~ Bapu probably. ?

Garbage - Only Happy When It Rains

Ok, to get this thread back on-topic! Eurythmics - Here Comes The Rain Again

I love how low his voice goes. He's got a few songs with well-thought-out lyrics!

"A future attempt by another band to use a photo of Margaret Thatcher failed miserably as expected." ?

Sounds like something Washington State (or Oregon) would do! ?

You need to type slowly and clearly for Sheens. Adding pictures with breasts helps too. ?

Assemblage 23 - Rain Falls Down (Hope you didn't hurt yourself Chris! ?)

Post Mortem Spasms Embalmed Body Music (And hidden content!) ?

That sounded great! Loved that tone!

I almost inadvertently got to see the Beatles when they came out to the West Coast. But, my parents, who were not fans, used my young age as an excuse to not go. Not sure what I would have remembered from the event, but it would have been cool to say I had "seen" them!

Just noticed I had said 2k, I actually keep it at 4k and zoom in 125%. That said, you're missing the fact that everything is bigger and easier on old eyes.

Reminds me of that contortionist from the Philippines that they called the Manila Folder! ?

Most have heard the story. The short version is this: While I was off working on my PhD back in 2008-9 when a lot of illegal financial stuff happened (the so-called "credit crunch") and I lost two houses, a vehicle and about a million dollars. This included my music studio which I had over $134k into! Some things were given to friends and the guitar in my avatar had been paid for, but not finished yet, so I was able to save a few things. I actually had my DAW (Sonar Producer 4) on an old server that I was able to use for a few years until it finally died. Since then, when I do play (a lot more rarely than before), it's just me and an amp. I still have some things I was able to hide and may get back into it, but just surviving comes first! There have been several new business attempts and side-jobs since everything disappeared, but not the big winner yet.

As some of you may know, I stare at a computer screen a LOT for programming, image design and (once upon a time) for music creation. I can't stress enough what a HUGE help having a 40" 4k TV as my monitor has been! Sure, I can also play videos at 4k on it and watch actual TV (if I still did), but I usually just keep it at 2k resolution and use it as my computer monitor. Until you try it you may think it's too large to use as a monitor, but I guarantee you that once you've used it for even just a short time, you will NOT want to go back! I was just looking at several stores (like Best Buy, Costco, Walmart, Newegg, etc.) and, it appears, that 40" TV's no longer exist as most are 43" (or larger). That said, I'm seeing decent name brands going for under $200 as Black Friday specials!!! ? Larger versions of what I use (I have a Samsung) are under $250. Too bad I was too late to get in on this one! $99.99?? Are you kidding me??? I couldn't care less that it was a clearance! https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-43-class-q60a-series-qled-4k-uhd-smart-tizen-tv/6453192.p?skuId=6453192 Here are three going for $189.99 at Best Buy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/toshiba-43-class-c350-series-led-4k-uhd-smart-fire-tv/6532119.p?skuId=6532119 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/westinghouse-43-4k-uhd-smart-roku-tv-with-hdr/6489041.p?skuId=6489041 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pioneer-43-class-led-4k-uhd-smart-xumo-tv/6543645.p?skuId=6543645 I power mine with just the on-board graphics that came with my (Jim Roseberry created ?) computer. No expensive video card needed for what I do. I did get a sound bar with a subwoofer, but this is still FAR cheaper than getting a dedicated monitor. Just sayin'!!!
