All I know is that if you want to get to the Coachella Valley and the big carrot festival therein, you have to make a left turn at Albuquerque.

I just wrapped up the meeting with my sister-in-law, her attorney and a notary. A whole slew of documents had to be signed to allow the sale of their house. At least now they have the funding they need to continue his care.

My brother has it. He's a couple of years older than me, and was first diagnosed about 20 years ago. His wife recently had to move him into a memory care nursing facility. She has to sell their house so they can afford the care. Since my brother is incapable of understanding anything and can't express himself at all, I have to sign the documents on his behalf.

The only Easter-egg-like color guitars I have also happen to be Peaveys.

Janis covered it herself. The original recording was by Aretha Franklin's sister, in 1967.

They May Never Pass This Way Again

Nylon is a brand name, like Kleenex. The generic term is polyamide. There are many different grades of polyamide, of which what we think of as nylon is a subset. Jump deep into the weeds here: https://www.specialchem.com/plastics/guide/polyamide-pa-nylon

Many years ago when I was gigging occasionally, my bass rig was determined by what could fit in my car and what could be carried through narrow doorways. It seemed there were always obstacles to wheeled transport- high curbs, thresholds, stairs. I got a couple of lightweight neodymium magnet 2X10s I could stack vertically for cramped stages. Since it was bass, one instrument was enough for any gig. Sometimes I had enough room in the car for tubs full of PA cables and extensions cords in addition to my own stuff.

When I was discovering The Clash, I couldn't imagine the Elvis inspiration.

Or it may be used to make Budweiser.

I forget to mention we also opened for Roadmaster in Indianapolis. Their bass player was Toby Myers, who went on to work with John Mellencamp. I did attend a few NAMM shows back in the early to mid '80s and managed to have a very brief chat with Ted Nugent. I also lingered for a bit next to John Entwistle and Steve Morse as they were demonstrating some products. And a security guard for EVH waved for me to clear a path as Eddie walked by. More indirect, my Dad was an occasional guest vocalist with the band that featured Bill Hall, the father of Bruce Hall from REO Speedwagon.

This guy played keyboards in the band I was in back in high school, so we shared a few (tiny) stages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Hobgood Later on, my band opened for the likes of Rare Earth, Joan Jett, and Wendy O. Williams and the Plasmatics, but we were never on stage at the same time.

How about something like this to cleanse the palate?

When the T-20 morphed into the Fury, the thumb rest pickup ring was still used.

The one on the left. The one on the right is Daf E. Duck?

They must have introduced Teal Blue just after I left Peavey. I remember Mike Powers and the guys in the guitar lab were constantly experimenting with different colors and finishes. Only a few of their experiments ever made it to market. Constraints of keeping costs and cure time down, coupled with the environmental conditions limited what they could do. Those Mississippi summers reminded me of "The Bridge on the River Kwai".

Would that be Peavey's "Frost Blue Metallic"?

Three pages in without this one being mentioned?

Or maybe a pearloid guard, then it would be a companion for my fretless Cruise.

I'm pretty sure that's the wiring in my Billy Corgan Strat. I had a Fralin loaded pickguard assembly put in. The original Dimarzio strat-size humbuckers just weren't Stratty enough for my taste. The Fralin split-blade pickups still sound like a Strat, but without noise.

The band I was in way back when covered "School". We didn't have a harmonica, so the keyboard player did some riffing on his synth to approximate it. It went over well, as I recall. The bass line was kinda fun to play.

At these prices, I'm tempted to buy this one and the trans white one that popped up earlier today. This one would be a companion for my indigo/pearloid T51 and the other for my trans white/tort Cruise. Unfortunately, all my money is currently tied up in a real estate venture. Building a new downsized home for my retirement is costing WAY more than I bargained for.

I bought this spruce top, trans-orange sparkle finish, ebony board SuperPro from Bubs (Buy from Bubs!) back in '09. $1300. From this angle, the first fret victory inlay is barely noticeable.
