  1. My favorite part of these is where they are working through the song, before they do it. Diane Birch is a great one (vocal horn part). This is probably my favorite.
  2. Oh... @Celery Man I must have missed it. OUTSTANDING news! Where is the new gig? Had something happen that I found interesting. While in rehab, I've become much more versed in the opioid situation for a lot of reasons. But a little over a month ago we had a good friend who lost a 21 yr old son. Everyone knew what happened but I was giving them room before I even tried to talk with them. And I never really saw anything to verify what everyone already knew. Ran in to a common friend to check on their status. I learned that the parents had jumped in completely to learn all they never knew and didn't know about opioid addiction. Once I found out that they weren't putting their head in the sand or trying to deny the cause, I contacted her. Then, a week later she posted this brilliant writing about the situation. I mainly wanted them to listen to Stephanie Wittles Wachs' BRILLIANT podcast, "The Last Day". She later told me she had already read her book and just about every other book I knew about. Then we were able to have a really long conversation. One thing she said was, "I posted that because people are going to think what they want about us but I didn't want them to be dragging his name through the mud....but assholes who don't understand are going to do that anyway." She also mentioned several time about what a failure she and her husband felt like. All typical stuff. I just listened and didn't say, "Don't say that. Don't feel that way. You are wrong...you are GREAT parents". I just let her talk. At the end she said, "Thank you so much. You are the first of hundreds of people who hasn't told me not to feel this way." One thing I'm learning through my little trail this past year and 4 months is, "You feel how you feel. Don't try to change it. Just sit with it, realize what it is and move on." The moving on part is the variable.....some things take longer to move on from than others. Moving on from a son dying from an OD will obviously just take a lifetime. I told her that being a Texan, I had to rely on my spiritual roots. The Tao of Willie. I told her the story of Buddy Cannon overhearing Willie Nelson talking to a friend who had just lost her husband. She told Willie, "I don't think I'll ever get over this." Willie told her, "It's not something you get over. It's something you get through."
  3. She is a she. It is apparently what keeps them alive.
  4. Cory is a great dude. I was at a tiny show one night when Richard Goodsell brought Cory a new amp to try out. He put his acoustics away, pulled out a hopped up Strat and fucked around with the amp all night. Really cool show. LOVE No-Hit Wonder. Survivor Blues from Mutt is one of the best written songs I've ever heard. So many lyrical bits of genius throughout that song. I go back and forth on which version I like better. This is the 'Thin Lizzy' version. <quote>She struggled to read his knuckle tattoos Beneath the ring and the scar But the left said love and the right read true She said please say you got a car It's parked out back It's pointed out of state It's a recent acquisition we should probably ditch the plates</quote> <quote> Yellow duffel in the seat back yonder Bunch of pretty junk I bought her It's yours if you want either to you or the flame But to me it's the same</quote> <quote> She said no thanks man my baggage is packed This name on my ankle with this knife in my back I know a place on the way out of town It's as good as burned down It's as good as burned down</quote>
  5. Just looking for a better way to setup mixer/drum machine/vocal processor, etc.
  6. @tbone_ Can you snap of pick of the setup on those stands on the right?
  7. Caught this on Sunday..
  8. Im going to add another one to spread these out and to have some hooks for cables and headphones.
  9. I finally decided on this and love it. (stock photo...not mine) https://diamondlifegear.com/guitar_hanger_mx.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwv7L6BRDxARIsAGj-34qR_L8DEZaJqcfhSb2_PxjMbomdrYdQ0ZCtbwhdhsvWSpnX9Idxv5gaAjvBEALw_wcB
  10. Life it too short. Buy new/better cables. I've had good luck with these GLS cables. Not too much money but seemingly good quality. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XQF90PC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  11. I've only walked out of one concert in my life. It was Justin's tour in 2014 or 2015. (Single Mothers tour, I think) He was in a shit mood, insulting the audience, acting like he was doing the crowd a favor for being there. He just seemed generally bored and irritated. Probably 800 people in a 1,000 seat venue so it wasn't about the lack of a crowd.
  12. Where did you see this? Is this the Pushkin podcast? Found it:
  13. And this one just kills me. "It's a setback at best, a shame fo sho"; "I'm losing patience with my only friend";
  14. When they toured together, they did a version of Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold. I always felt it was really uncomfortable. None of the videos on youtube are very good either. But this version on just him....with it sped up a LOT...I really dig it.
  15. Tommy Womack posted this. Tommy is super sweet guy with as many or more demons that Justin. He used to play with Todd Snider and Todd describes him "as the craziest dude I know." Tommy also plays a lot in a band with Will Kimbrough. I really like Tommy and he has helped me immensely with some of my problems. Tommy's going some shit right now as his cancer has come back.
  16. Check out the guitarist on JTE's Letterman appearance.
  17. Am I the only one on here who actually saw Ram Jam in concert? I was a sophomore in high school when that debut album came out in 77. They had just moved out of clubs into auditorium shows in smaller towns when that single broke. Saw them in Wichita Falls. A buddy and I took my little brother along for his first rock-n-roll show. I remember liking this song that was also on that album. Again, the ONLY thing on the radio was disco and really shitty soft rock shit. I had my Electra Les Paul copy, Fender Super Reverb and I wanted to ROCK!
  18. This is easily my favorite album of his. Really horrible news. My money would be strongly on relapse and OD. Some people, even when sober, seem to be constantly on the edge of a relapse. And as mentioned above, relapsing in this drug environment is playing Russian roulette but 5 bullets and one empty chamber.
  19. Her story: She got hit the head by an oxygen tank when she was supposedly a volunteer fire fighter in Jolly. Created a calcium build up. She supposed had an operation a few years ago, but it is obviously coming back.
  20. My grand daughter LOVES doing that.
  21. Oh...and before I erase this bit of fun from this morning while walking the dog. Me: (Wave at a pickup) Her: Who was that? Me: The girl who works for Frank and Maureen. She was driving his old pickup Her: I thought he got a new one. Me: He did. She was driving the old one Her: Do you know her? Me: Yes. Her: How? Me: She works for Frank and Maureen. 15 minutes later, girl drives back by, in same fucking pickup. Her: Look. There goes Frank Me: (WHY didn't I just say YEP) That is the girl who works for him. Driving his old pickup. I waved at her earlier Her: But that pickup had an Army Vet tag. That was Frank. Me: That is Frank’s old pickup. The girl who works for him, who drove by earlier, that I waved at….she was driving Frank’s old truck. Her: I thought he got a new one. Me: He did. Her: OK.
  22. Daughter and friends take kayaks out. I tell her to just leave them on the back on the pickup because I needed to reseal them. Wife comes in yelling. Her: IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE! Me: Great..we need it. Her: YOU LEFT THE KAYAKS ON YOUR PICKUP! Me: Yep. Her: They are going to get wet. Me: Kind of like when we go kayaking? Yep. They will get wet. Her: But they are face up...not upside down. They are going to get the seats wet. Me: Yep. Trust me. They will be fine. Baboso brought up the point that when she fucked around and got sucked under a log and the kayak got swamped the seat might have gotten a little damp. My mind was just too bottled to think that fast during this interaction. I was going to put them back that day, but as a bit of defiance, they are still loaded on the pickup. It is driving her nuts but she has yet to say anything about it.
  23. I'm in the same boat on 1) needing some new headphones and 2) dropping a fuck-ton of money on updating the house.
