@amped that's a sweet lp for sure.

https://www.discogs.com/release/7526880-Nils-Lofgren-Acoustic-Live Bruce? This dude is just as good but you're gonna have to get off your gold card and break out one of your Duals. Nils is his right hand man. Amazing lp!

Welllllll, look at the man GO @billybob! Next up La Scala's or K-horns? PWK hooked another one of us. @drbmw you're done for sure now. Why don't you tell us which one's you prefer? Fire them up and enjoy them. How big is your wallet? lolol

Thanks for that JL. This place is truly a crazy place. A few years ago a member passed who lived a couple hours away from me. A lot of guys in here knew and respected him so I put on my game face and went to his calling hours. I told his wife I'd never met him but knew of him and had read many of his posts here. She couldn't believe I drove all the way over to express my condolances for someone I didn't know. I appreciated hearing that but the MAIN reason I went was just as a representative from this crazy gaggle. It was bittersweet for sure but she and her daughter were smiling big time when I left them. Death completes the life-cycle and it happens every day. She had NO idea how much that trip meant to me though. Just a gaggle of wannabe's searcing for eutopia in here. It's an extended family to me though. Simple.

Ya got that right. Seems like someone always has a vision for something. Ya just go with it and wait. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. lol Just another day in paradise. The festival is rollin here and it's always a fun watch. People are nuts. Street vendors are killing it w/those coming in on the way to Lake Erie for the weekend. It's crazy down there. Word is they're cleaning up even with higher prices. Seems as though people are accepting it for some insane reason. Big bank downtown even stepped up their game this year offering beer in addition to their big stage and great groups they have coming in. As if they aren't making money anyway. I'm sitting in here watching the Little League World Series. An annual thing with me. Beats the other garbage on TV. Downtown? Might slip down and grab a bite off the main drag later. Maybe hit a few other guys I know playing this evening. Just a guest appearance and not signing anything either. Let 'em suffer! 😂 Another beautiful day in Duckburg. Back to abby-normal tomorrow. 😂 💪 😎

@dirtmudd Hmmmm a world based on mutual trust? Doubtful that will ever happen but maybe someday.

Welcome to the Forum and the Heritage Line of PWK's speakers! I have a pair of 81's in OW and they'll rock your socks off. I decided to pair them w/an old McIntosh 4100 receiver just for another fun system. The dream system for a lot of us older guys. lol My jaw dropped when I first heard them so I'd leave them alone for right now and just enjoy them. I added risers later, which REALLY made a difference. Just that small angle up hit me in the face but in a GOOD way. Yea, I see you salivating so throw a couple books under them and angle 'em up and watch. Stands? Blah imo but it's your rig. Right now, enjoy them. The guys in here will always be here to help you out. Caps, etc are available but I'm not sure about shipping your way. Or others in here are French/German and can help you out. Tons of material is also available if you search. Love the RB too! Again, welcome!

Sad to hear. You'll miss him for sure. You have my heartfelt condolences. Surrounded by his brothers-in-arms in arms is a fitting way to pass imo. Blessings to all.

Whew!

Day 1 of the good ole brat fest is in the books. Brats are 7 a pop on the main drag along w/a 12oz cup of slimy fries for 10. Naturally it poured rain about parade time and the temp started dropping. "They're" calling for a low of 42 tonight, which is totally insane for this time of the year. Then up into the 90's the first of the week. Blah. think I'll stay home and maybe slip down and grab something then run for the border. Some of the local places are tons cheaper. Brat and fries for10 bucks works for me. @wuzzzer you're such a tease w/that lefty. It's coolness factor is off the charts. I'd hurt myself! 😂

@mustang_flht he's just another one here in the US w/his lil cult following. Blah... lol

@mustang_flht Dr. Phil is an American talk show created by Oprah Winfrey and the host Phil McGraw. After McGraw's segments on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Dr. Phil debuted on September 16, 2002. On both shows, McGraw offers advice in the form of "life strategies" from his life experience as a clinical and forensic psychologist.[3] The show is in syndication throughout the United States and several other countries. Occasional prime-time specials have aired on CBS.

@mustang_flht you have a serious man crush problem. 😂 Seriously dude??? Perhaps we could get you a bit of time w/ this guy. 😂 I got lost just looking at the list 💪

I'm laffin! WHO you think ur talkin to ANYway? THAT was hilarious! 😂

@MicroMara where the heck are you anyway! There is NO excuse for being AWOL!

Enough outta you Mr. Mono, I'll just change the shell and be runnin in no time! Quit it! 😂

Been there done that a couple years ago. I'm STILL clueless! My IT guy was right. I'm like a kid w/a loaded gun on one of these things. Have fun! 😂

@billybob yanno I was gonna laff up there when you said that but I think we BOTH knew deep down inside it was coming. Yup, @Islander nailed it! 😂

Yer killin me Mr. Mono! THAT goes for you too @mustang_flht Congrats! 😂 😂 Don't think I have a complete collection of anything except for the old James Gang lp's. Close in many I'm sure but not complete. Completely insane though for sure.

Class reunions are always bittersweet. Only 176 in my class here and everyone had their own gaggle. Somehow I got the entire class list dumped on me for our 25th and spent mega bucks and tons of hours FINDING almost everyone in out graduating class. My phone bills were nuts but I got 'em. I worked every angle w/the USPS to get addresses. The USPS is better than the IRS if ya stop and think about it. Ya GOTTA get your Xmas cards right? THEN after I'd done the work and pulled it off ppl would notify me if they moved. Easy peasy UNTIL a few of the fem "movers & shakers" decided THEY were gonna do it. Ok cool here's the list. Today about 15 of us get together somewhere for brunch about every other month while listening to the fems blowing about their latest trip to Europe. Bleh, it is what it is. Gotta have that one though in EVERY class. I tagged her w/the "grim reaper" handle. She doesn't miss an obit. It's like she thrives on posting them to our class site on FB then she's even kind enough to hit everyone's inbox w/an email on it. lol I'm STILL saving my money for the cruise to Tahiti one of 'em mentioned. As if. 😂 😎 All's well in Duckburg 'til the festival begins tomorrow at high noon w/the Queen taking that cerimonial first bite of a bratwurst sammich to kick things off. Three days of insanity. Think I'll go mow the yard. 😂

I'll get right on that. 😂 I just did. Thanks for that. I'll make room! Grrrrr... 😂 💪 Yea, I know. Thank me later! 😂

@KROCK Welllll, there ya go! Coolness factor for sure. Mono w/a sweet cart HAS to sound better than what it used to sound like. Have to let us know how it's soundin when you get into it a bit.

Up early, enjoyin the coffee and just hangin.

Lil more rain hit Duckburg last evening so things are looking greener. Time to mow shortly so I can be the first in the hood! Maybe the lil landscaper will show up w/the Kousa Dogwood tree for out back. In another 20 years I might be able to hide from the neighbors. 😂 Thursday the 3-day Bratwurst Festival begins. 300k people walkin or stumbling for a mile, draggin lil kids by the hand, insane traffic coupled with all the traffic heading up to Lake Erie, daily parades, kids rides, beer gardens, bands, drunks, stoners. All of that coupled with every state trooper in the district, deputy and the locals nailin 'em left and right. Wonder where the checkpoint will be this year? 😂 Whatever shakes out I'm ready!

Well, there we go. It's official. It's also official I didn't hit the lottery. Since there's a song for every occasion I'll just exit stage right and leave this one from Nils Lofgren. "45 years, and just another guy in the band." 😢 😭
