    Wow! God's speed Tina. You broke through many barriers.

    Whoa! A giant. Some strong memories of Tina and Proud Mary at every wedding I went to in my youth. When it would play my parent’s generation b.1930-1940 would pop up from their seats and get out on the dance floor. Was the Proud Mary played at weddings a thing everywhere?

  • We are losing musical icons too often these days. I'm still in denial that Tom Petty is gone!

  • Random history tidbit:

    "JFK to the Moon, 5/25/1961"

    You will likely use (or are using) everyday tech that is possible because of this initiative.

    Certainly; the first I can remember using in the early 70s was a "space blanket", a thin plastic sheet with an insulating layer on one side; it was brilliant, always used it camping

  • Short guitar solos:

    Almost any rock music fan likes long, interesting solos, but there are heaps of short, punchy licks and fills which aren't showy, but really set off the song. Like:

    • Me Myself I, Joan Armatrading: solo by Chris Spedding;
    • Gimme Some Truth, John Lennon: solo by George Harrison;
    • Taxman, The Beatles, solo by Paul McCartney;
    • I Won't Back Down, Tom Petty: solo by Mike Campbell;
    • Fire, Jimi Hendrix (studio version - most of the live versions are longer)
    • Baker Street, Gerry Rafferty: solo by Harvey Burns, I think?

    Many more, of course: you could probably put in almost anything by The Beatles...

    Your suggestions, please!

    It's Aqualung, by Martin Barre of Jethro Tull. Beat It pulls up at third.

  • The solo by Tom Morello in Like A Stone by Audioslave is one I like a fair bit.

  • On our way to the beautiful Black Hills of SoDak for the weekend. My parents live in the Southern hills, so we stay in a hotel near them.

    Time for trees and buffalo!

  • The Black Hills are pretty sweet. I hope to add it to the short list of places to go.

    No. JR is riding it taking pictures.

  • That's the interesting thing about South Dakota, you can get half of it on one picture. Then you get to the hills.
    Some of those plaines states you could fall asleep at the wheel and wake up an hour later and nothing change but the gas gauge.

    Yeah I took a solo motorcycle trip 10yrs ago out west on a 500cc. The wind was the worst part of those states.. Fighting the wind and gusts just to go straight for hours on end. It is a strange feeling to be hanging off the right side of the bike but making a gentle left turn. The gas pumps out there have little plexi plates with hinges riveted on covering the receipt dispenser. If they didn't, noone would ever get their receipt. Would be immediately blown away.

  • We fought 30+ gusts straight out of the South for the first 360 miles today. Tires the arms out.

  • Good morning. This is part of a small range they call "The Seven Sisters". Elevation is right at a mile.

  • Last few weeks I've been working on this project. I picked up a prototype tube bass amp by VHT. Found it at a local used music gear shop. Man, what a score! Anyways, the width of the thing was about an inch to wide to look right on my cabs. OCD, I know....

    So I built a new box and made it match my cabs. Luckily I had enough of the tolex left to make it happen. I made the recess for the logo the inlet for the fans, bonus is the fans light up🤘🏼
