  1. The Fender short scale Mustang Bass. Very cool. Daryl
  2. Acoustic gig this weekend. I hope they comp those BBQ ribs like last time. Daryl
  3. Me, no drugs & no alcohol ever. Daryl
  4. I love Thin Lizzy. Daryl
  5. Good discussion Dave. It's really a cool study on how some material will " kill " at some venues and bomb at another. Daryl
  6. You guys look great on stage. Daryl
  7. I think they would have too. 👍
  8. I hope I make the decision when to pull the plug on gigging. I would hate to be sat down by our band leader and hear something like this. " Well mate, it's like this " lol Daryl
  9. Beedster, It's hard to be irritable when your so grateful to just be there gigging. Lol Daryl
  10. I often wonder what my young bandmates say about my age when I'm not around. I can imagine comments like; " He's so grateful " lol Daryl
  11. Hi Marc, I find giging at age 70 a lot more fun than I did as a young lad. Being retired obviously makes gigging easier, plus I'm a lot smarter now. Lol Datyl
  12. Fretmeister, A lot of older folks over here do have financial issues with Healthcare. Just so you guys know. I have excellent Dental & Healthcare insurance coverage. Daryl
  13. Fantastic Myke, My late mom was born in 1927. She is how I got into rock & roll. I remember watching all the rock & roll dance TV shows with her in the late 50s. And we listened to all the Black R&B radio station together too. She passed at 84. She never got old. Daryl
  14. Hi Myke, I'm a huge Tom Jones fan. I think he's an amazing artist to this day. I consider myself fortunate to be playing with younger, responsible talented and smart musicians . Daryl
  15. I'm 70 years old and all the other members of the band are in they're late 30s. I'm pretty slow when it comes down to tearing down lights and sound and driving at night isn't a good idea. Other than that I'm good for a few more years. Daryl
  16. I can see that. It's really like an anthem. Daryl
  17. A shuttle bus arrived and they all were wearing orange & camo. Fun, but very strange gig. I was surprised we could entertain such a young demographic. However, keep in mind there was a lot of booze flowing.And you guys know what can happen with free unlimited alcohol and youngsters. Daryl
  18. Fantastic gig and a Fantastic photo. Daryl
  19. I love that drum beat in the intro. Daryl
  20. Do you guys do "Saturday Night " ? Daryl
  21. Thanks Dave, Do you guys do the intro? Great looking band. I love the costumes, the energy and all the movement on stage. Daryl
  22. Dave, None of our band members seem to have much interest in taking pics or video. I'm the only one that trys to take gig pics. Last night was an exception. Most gigs were playing to folks with one foot on a banana peel and the other in the graveyard. Daryl
  23. Dave, I love the camera. During our break last night, I walked around looking for attention and anyone who wanted to take a picture with me. Lol A guy my age finally approached me and shared his whole life history with rock & roll with me. Lol Daryl
  24. I love " Ballroom Blitz" . And would love to see a video of you guys performing it. Daryl
  25. Well, it wasn't a Country Club. I guess you could call it a tent and the stage was adequate. The event had something to do with people that hunt with a bow. We played 3 long sets with 2 long breaks. They had a DJ playing Salsa when we were on break. There were a lot of attractive people that were advanced Salsa dancers. Very diverse crowd, which was cool. All ethnicities and ages.We were quite loud. We were pretty good and we actually had a lot of young people dancing. I didn't get home until 1:00. I don't like that. However the pay was top notch. I do like that. No video. However here's a few pics. All humorous comments are welcome. Lol Daryl
