    A Great Idea Gone Bad

    NOTE: This is how bored I am waiting to go autocrossing tomorrow...

    I went out on the back porch and there's a whole bunch of Mexican-sounding folks on the other street, behind our house, having a great time. They're laughing and having a great time and they've got the boom box going. They're living up. And not bothering a soul. You'd have to be on our back porch to hear them, about a hundred yards away. All is well.

    And I got the brilliant idea - I can make more noise than that. So I went upstairs and opened the window in the band room. I fired up the Line 6 amp, 50 watts RMS. I'd never turned it wide open before, never.

    I had earplugs. I plugged in the Erlewine and commenced into raising all matter of hell, slide and licks and whatever, and I proved to myself that I really honestly don't remember how to play. But I sure raised hell.

    That amp....the floor was shaking on the low notes, it was screaming on the high notes. I had it turned up wide-ass open (remember I had earplugs). I'd never ever had that amp wide open before, and that pseudio performance lasted about two minutes and I was done.

    Meanwhile, poor Ken the Cat (remember Ken?) was flipping out downstairs trying to find somewhere to hide form the noise, according to Unit.

    My bad. Poor cat.

      poor kitty. I've almost been arrested over 40 watts RMS per channel... you know what I mean. 40 old thump you in the ass and say HI watts. Lord knows what they would call that old Sansui today.

      Hooligan.


      ha!

              pdub is now responsible for me being bored and heading to the garage with a 1/2 wrench and roll of dental floss.

                    Dental hygiene is important, too.

                        Ohhhh yeah, Side One of the vinyl album. That was before Duane died. When Duane died, Dicky Betts turned them into a country band.

                        Not so well-known facts: Duane was almost always photoed holding a Les Paul. He used that on all the stuff except for the slide. He played the slide songs on an SG.

                        And on that Fillmore East album, that's Duane talking before the songs, doing the intros. It was Duane's band, he put it together, he was the lead man and the stage mouthpiece. Sure sounds like Gregg's voice, but Duane talked and Gregg just sang and played the Hammond B3.

                          you guys would probably dig the Derek Trucks band too, then. Between that and Government Mule I kind of get the same vibe.

                          The dental floss was to slit my wrist if I picked up anything besides the 1/2 wrench which fits nothing I wanted to work on. Whenever I work on stuff inebriated I go back and fix it all later. It's kind of stupid to do things twice, so I just stopped working on things. I was kinda goofy yesterday.

                            Yeah, and you were fun! Not that you aren't always fun, yesterday was fun. Let's do that some more, but let's wait till next weekend.

                            EDIT...yeah Derek Trucks has got it going. And married to Susan Tadeschi (sp?) last I heard. What do they sit around and talk about, the next song?

                            But Derek comes off in interviews like he might be a bit of a ...... a guy you don't want to drink with, sort of....a jerk maybe?
