A song for every story. Scratch that "You'll never know how much I really love you" garbage! 😂 Hit 70 today for the eclipse. Cloudy but visible. Aside from airing the house out and playin some tunes it was pretty uneventful. Sure was strange outside though. No traffic and quiet except for the dogs barking. lol Nothing else to report! Carry on

Well you're right on the first count. It's not luck, it's called being smart and stepping up your game. That's one beautiful system and the youtube video just enhances all the reviews. You did it the right way! I'll make the run to Cali from Ohio just let me know when your really sick of them. Remember I was the first one to offer too. The curmudgeons in here WILL try to sweet talk ya out of them. I did buy a another lottery ticket today! 😂 Congrats and yea, I know they're not goin to the curb in my lifetime. Enjoy and welcome to the Forum. If your spinning vinyl slide on over into the vinyl spinning thread. It's where all the red-headed step brothers hang. 😂 BTW, those jelly fish you have hangin rock!

I don't think they sound quite right in the "staging area" said no man ever! I can slip by anytime and get them outta there if you want. 😂 Those sound stellar! Congrats!

Not bad, not bad at all 😂 330AM here. lol

Hope Bill and the fam are good and nothing's happened. Last I recall was his leg and something about a vacay at some point. Just hope he's ok. Crazy for sure. The only thing I know is Nikon ships every piece of gear they repair or loan DHL world wide. That was back when I was shooting. Don't know about today. Some of the full time guys from NYC working events said UPS and the rest were terrible. Just left it on the dock with no signature and thousands of dollars were walkin away w/unknowns. Big heavy box = pricey glass.

Lawdy, boys n girls this thing's totally amaze balls! PWK HAS to be sittin up there laffin at me! If you don't jiump ALL over this it's YOUR LOSS! It DOES NOT STOP! Factor in Beth Hart in the lead song of the lp "Broken" it hooks ya right from the start. He does nothing but shred and rock. Transitioning into some smooth blues on side 3 that take ya for a smooth ride w/some stellar guitar and back up work complete with just enough sizzle to hold your attention. That just only draws you deeper. Then your right back into some smooth Tejas blues w/amazing lyrics all front and center in "Breathe." Filppin to side four wondering if it can get any better? "Heaven or Hell" WOW! Talk about hittin home with the lyrics then factor in the work? Tellin that story ya never heard but always knew was there? THEN the ride begins? "We get what we deserve?" BOOM and a shred right after those words we all know is true? Crazy! Slowing it down now w/"I Wanna Stay" and more amazing lyrics? Last tune is "Falls Apart" and I'm not sayin squat. Pretty sweet way to close a double gatefold that FLEW by! It's been a LONG time since I've heard anything this good. Trust me on this one. FIND IT! Yea, crank it up and LISTEN. Helmet on and buckle up cause it's crazy good. 💪 💪 Come on in @Full Range I'll clean that ear out for ya! Seriously though, feel better and keep us posted!

Gary Clark was sweet but I'm waiting on the post now til Walter Trout's "Broken" is finished.

Here's the Adrian Smith & Richie Kotzen lp. Smith/Kotzen is the name of a musical collaboration between musicians Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden and Richie Kotzen of The Winery Dogs.[1][2] Their self-titled debut album, released on March 26, 2021, was described by the Ultimate Classic Rock as a mix of "blues, hard rock, traditional R&B and more."[3][4][5][6] Kotzen also added jazz fusion elements to some sections.[7] Smith/Kotzen was supported by a first single released in January 2021, titled "Taking My Chances".[1][2] Both musicians share guitar, bass, vocal, composing and production duties on the album.[1][3][4][5] Kotzen also plays drums on five tracks and Tal Bergman, Richie's longstanding friend and touring partner, replaces him on songs "You Don’t Know Me", "I Wanna Stay" and "'Til Tomorrow".[3][4] The album also features special guest performance from Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain on "Solar Fire".[3][4] Yea, it was ALL that! No wonder I was losing it trying to find a direction! ll

@Mikekid my youngest daughter now has that T that Ted's wearing in the video along with a couple others from his tours I had. I will say the silk screeners always did a stellar job on his t's. Have his book here somewhere. He gave me one then signed if for me in a PINK sharpie being a smart a$$ laffin the entire time. Have to dig it up and I'll post a pic for ya. He's such a funny boy! lolol Sorry @JohnJ forgot to show ya everything when you were here. Just stuff and I just thought of that. Felt like I was a kid at show and tell the way it was. 😂😂😂

@Marvel Molly's hittinn the short North in Cbus in a couple weeks. The show's GA so that ain't happening. Limited parking in the area too soooo pfffffft. Really would like to see her but I'm not fightin a bunch os OSU students . Nope! lol Naturally she's hangin around w/that Aussie who bends not only the strings but also the neck of that flat top.

Funny @Mossy bottom I remembered that "Taboo" lp you posted the other day. The one w/the volcano on it. Had to chuckle. You muist be ancient! 😂 😂 😂 MY parents had it. j/k j/k They did though. I thought it was different but good in it's own way. I was too busy jammin on Motown! lolol @GWSmith Walter is great. He lives almost next door to a local guy I grew up with. He moved outta Duckburg to Texas for some reason years ago. Lives almost next door to him. He brought Walter back to Duckburg with him for our Bratwurst Festival when his parents were alive. lol The twist was the guys dad was a dentist and he worked on Walter's choppers for free. Met him several times when he was up here w/Jerry. That was 50 years ago prolly. Today Walter's son is playing with him. He stopped in Cleveland a couple years ago and I almost went up just to bust his balls and check on how his teeth were doing. hahahahaha I told Jerry and he said I should have told him and he would have hooked me up. Think I wouldn't? You KNOW I would. He's a great guy. Yea, kidney trouble or something darn near killed him but man he can bring the heat. That place he played held about 3k and they were sold out. Jerry's into old Victrola's in a HUGE way. Some beautiful pics that I've seen. Guess he and Walter spend a lot of down time together now too. Jerry said he has some 76's Walter had made somehow to play on his old stuff. Crazy.

@GWSmithl post images down on your end too Gary or ya just being lazy? lolol Nm just saw your post in RTM.

I see what you did there Oh crafty one! That's a great lp. Nuttin like sittin here and not being able to upload squat cause the post image site is playin games. Grrrrrr. Getting an ear full outta the 3 that just showed up. Blah,, Adrian Smith & Ritchie Kotzen, Gary Clark Jr's. "Jpeg Raw", and Walter Trout's newdrop "Broken." Firt time thru the S&K lp left a lot to be desired. 2 tracks I enjoyed and the rest of it was slammed together imo. Left me hangin... Especially since the ones I ennoyed were the last two on side one. I'expected more creativity on side 2. Smith/Kotzen is the self-titled debut album from rock musicians Adrian Smith and Richie Kotzen, released on 26 March 2021.[1][2] "Taking My Chances" was released as the first single from the album in December 2020.[3] It was followed by "Scars" in February 2021,[4] and "Running" in March.[5] Now I wonder WHY it just dropped in the US? It wasn't a restock or maybe it was. Hmmmm...

@MicroMara I'd be totally lost in a place like that. Must be why Starbucks is such a rip-off in the US. People, for the most part, are clueless.

Ride it out @dirtmudd. Hate to see Mr Mudd out on the snowblower when it's all gonna melt in a couple days. Hmmm, thinkin maybe @grasshopper is on vacay now that I've thought about it. Either way your missed. Kinda maybe.

Crazy that we’re living in a time where this Summer will see Joe Satriani & Jason Bonham joining Sammy Hagar & Michael Anthony for an evening of Van Halen music and now this Fall will see Steve Vai & Danny Carey joining Adrian Belew & Tony Levin for an evening of King Crimson music…This is a great time to be alive! Time to jump!

Million Sloopy girls and variations. @Full Range you're getting warmer. lolol

All quiet in Duckburg. A few new lp's showed up yesterday but they'll wait til tomorrow. Taxes done and filed. Slipped out to buy a couple Powerball tickets and now can't find them in the car. So tomorrow if I see a winner from Ohio guess I'll tear the car apart. lol Nasty weather is thru and heading your way @KROCK & @dirtmudd. Buckle up cause it's ugly! Ok @grasshopper & @MicroMara where ya been???

Hey John, those cans are gettin a bit rusty too. Ever try the new plastic tubs? Annnnnd we wait. 😂 😂

@revrseat70 ^^^^^ that dude is serious. Two old Maxwell house coffee cans and 10k$ worth of cables just layin there. 😂 😂 💪

Here ya go. Neal Morse, Mike Portnoy and crew in prog group TransAtlantic are at it again. This teaser vid just dropped this morning on youtube. It's their 2022 Morsefest show. The 2024 show is coming the end of April and tickets are on sale now. More info in the youtube post. 2 days? Wonder if my pacer could take it. 😂 A lil prog is good for the soul every now and then. Kinda maybe.

@Schu have at it. Only you know your needs. Gonna write the check either way.

Saw this today taken from the back end of a KC-135 floating gas station over Missouri recently. Those tankers get some way cool photo shots. Can't imagine the stress that boom operator is under. Always paid for with a salute from the pilot as he breaks off. Those Stealth bombars are insane. Crazy! Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit by Staff Sgt Mikayla Gibbs

@JohnJ keep laffin just remember he who laffs last... I'm goin to bed! lol

@Zen Traveler The only way to fly imo! Sounds like a great trip.
