    I LOVE the 'you don't know that' response. My standard response is, "Actually, I do". I have the same issue with the dehumidifiers in our basement. During the summer, she will turn on the whole house humidifier on the HVAC and turn off the dehumidifiers. Every fucking year...same discussion.

    Monoprice on the way. Orange was just OK. Probably good enough, but let us spread some amp knowledge. I'm doing this for us.

    Not a true Falcon. I went down to buy a light green version of that guitar. This one was hanging up. It was, at the time, last years model. I told the guy I would be embarrassed to own that guitar because of the White Falcon look. I said, "You can't make it cheap enough for me to buy it." He did. I play in one band with a lead singer who sounds like Elvis. We don't do any Elvis hits....mostly obscure stuff, and then pick other songs that Elvis should have sung...."I'm A Believer", Buddy Holly stuff, Travelin' Wilburys, bunch of Johnny Cash and Springsteen stuff, Bill Withers, etc. That guitar it perfect for that stuff. Mother Fucker has NO sustain. Tremolo, Delay, Reverb.....it's magical.

    Thanks. It's a 99 Mexican Nashville Tele. Bought it used in 2001 for $200. Didn't have a mark on it at the time. Probably my favorite to play. Funny that I have all of these hollow bodies.....never really thought about it. I have one more solid body Gretsch with a P90 in the neck and a filtertron (very weak) in the bridge. That, the Hohner 12 string and the Taylor are the only new guitars I own right now. Red Epi is a 62 Century with a single, nasty P90 in it. Finicky as hell with that wood, movable bridge, but through a Vox amp, it speaks in tongues.

    Next on my list. I haven't used the prosonus in a long time....recording at a buddies house instead. Just haven't gotten around to replacing this one. Thanks for the tip and reminder. I'm also replacing the pups in the Epi 339 and the bridge in the Gretsch (sitting on the floor)

    My floor stand is in the closet. This leaves more room for amps on the floor. About to order a new section of this hanger.

    Stumbled upon the Michigan Rattlers recently. Remind me of Sons of Bill and may where I thought Son Volt was headed after their first album.

    Damn...hadn't thought about that hack. Going to go test drive a used 35rt and it is sounds like crap, I'll order the Monoprice.

    Didn't know David Spade played bass.

    I have 4 amps right now. Blues Jr., Vox AC4, Spark, and a Katana 50 (primarily use it for my pedal steel). I picked up a Pigtronix Looper but none of my amps have an effects loop. Any ideas about a small amp (sub $400) that has a decent clean tone, with an effects loop. From scouring Reddit, the Orange Crush 35RT may be a decent choice, but I've never played an Orange amp. I just want something to practice more complex looping where I can use the effects loop so the tone remains unchanged. Ultimately, I'm going to buy a Peavey Classic 20, but can't pull that trigger right now. What say you?

    Colin Hay's character on The Resident had some kind of disease that turned sugar into alcohol. No idea if it was a real problem, but most of the things in that show seemed in line. Used to date a girl whose body processed grains differently and bread made her appear drunk. No idea if her BAC actually went up though.

    Just ordered the Infinity. Thanks for the info.

    Suggestions on loopers. I have a ditto. Need more but don't want to spend a ton of time learning.

    And just stumbled upon this well written song by Jeff Daniels.

    I actually like the Boxmasters. I love the two distinctly different styles of songs that Billy Bob and JD Andrew write. "I Got A Girl" is a decent example.

    It's the same in every country. Just got back from a 3 week trip to Italy. I count 15 different arguments between couples, not including us. Arguing out in the open. EVERY fucking time, it was the female, bitching at the male. Not once did we see a guy yelling at a female. Bitches just aren't made to be happy, nor content.

    Big Superchunk fan as well. Also had those Urge Overkill records. Didn't remember him being involved with either.

    That is a hell of a deal if the guitar is in good shape. Almost too good to be true.
  19. hullabelew
    Dammit...I should have bought that one as well. I got the D-18. So glad the Hummingbird stayed in the Surly family.

    I-Adam-12, I-Adam-12, see the man...... I also remember them calling a tag number: David Ocean Ida, 1-4-9 Also used to love Emergency. Nurse Dixie...... Just looked it up and she was mid 40s when Emergency was on.

    I wish I had a place to host these things. I live in a suburb of Atlanta and a buddy was doing them for several year, but they recently moved back to Ft. Worth. He would generally get about 50-60 at his house. $20 a head, all went to the artists. People brought food to share and drinks. A couple of times, (Darden Smith, Jason and Courtney and Jimmy LaFave) he sold enough tickets to have the shows at a local church. Darden even covered the cost of the rental of the church the last time he was through here. Other artists he had at his house: Kim Richey, Walt Wilkens, Sam Baker, Bob Livingston, Gretchen Peters, Jason Eady, Courtney Patton among others. He usually did 5-6 shows a year. @Nuge With that location, you should check with Jeff Plankenhorn. He spends a lot of time in SE Canada.

    Good Lord, I love Kenny Vaughan and Harry Stinson. And the harmonies with Scruggs, Stinson and Stuart. Damn good country music. "Tempted" is such an underrated song.

    Todd has rerecorded his albums solo and has been giving them away with various merch packages. You can find the first few on Spotify and some songs on youtube. But relistening to "Songs From the Daily Planet" really brings back memories and shows what a fantastic songwriter he is. He was living in Atlanta at the time and would show up at radio stations and play his stuff so I was lucky enough to be an early adopter.

    Man.....Rebel Rouser brings back memories. Virtually ever high school band in the 60s and 709s played that song.

    To quote a fine American, "If I ever get out of this trap, I'm not falling back in"
