Nice amount of playing space, love your back drop and cool looking drum kit. Blue

Nice and I like the energy on stage.👍 Blue

Like I said NYE gigs should be a " slam dunk " proposition. The room was packed and the dance floor filled. Highlights, the band sounded good, 3:00-6:00 I was home before 8:00. And everybody in the band got an extra 100 bucks in tips. Blue

You know your having a good time if a shoe sails past your head or if someone falls backwards onto your monitor.😀 Blue

Great thread ! Guys, have a great NYE,whether your staying in or gigging. If you are gigging load up early and arrive early if you can. I hope all of you have engaged crowds and the band locks in tight within the first few bars. It's the last gig of the year for most of us. Have a blast and get home safely. Blue

They use to play at the "sock hops" back in the early 70s at my college. Tom was using Orange way back then. The idea of the 12 string bass is cool , however I would imagine maintaining one would be a pain. Blue

Love the artwork and promo poster.👍 Blue

" More money" that's my favorite kind of money.😀 Blue

We don't have no smooches over here.😒😔 Blue

New Years Eve gigs are usually a "slam dunk" proposition. You guys will be just fine. Blue

Three 30 minute sets is awesome. We don't have that here in the States.😔 Blue

Great charity Norris. At my age the term Hospice is becoming too familiar. Blue

We're playing The Barley Pop in Germantown, 3:00-6:00. This is our 3rd year playing this gig. Our band leader and husband are hosting an after party at their home. A long night for an "Old Timer" like me. Merry Christmas guys. Play, have fun and get home safely on New Years Eve. Blue

Wow! Dave at our age driving to these gigs is not going to get easier.😒 Daryl

I've heard negative stories about Rics even the MIJ Ibanez copies which I would have thought were a good alternative. I'm not sure I could recognize a good Ric from a bad one. Daryl

Agreed,I own and play just about every important traditional iconic bass out there, except a Ric. I would love to have one in my collection. Blue

Loving that red Ric. Blue

The BlondiPop was packed last night. Allot of engaged young folks which was great. The 21 year olds are not usually into live blues / rock. We even played " Rockin Around The Christmas Tree" completely off the cuff. Fun night. Next gig is New Years Eve at The Barley Pop in Germantown. Happy Holidays guys. Blue

This Saturday Night 12/17 Maple Road @The BlondiPop 8:30 West Bend WI I'll let you guys know how it goes. Only a 5 minute commute. We're all set up and we did our sound check early.The BlondiPop is an old very small Church converted into a club. Blue

Nice gig pic. Blue

Agreed , I'm from the same vintage. When everyone is clicking on all cylinders you get the same buzz you got when you were a kid. I think it's the same buzz. At my age it's hard to tell. 😀 Blue

Exactly, My family had just moved from Southern Spain back to the States. I told my team mates I had played with the Spanish All Stars. There was no Spanish All Stars.😀 Blue

Thanks, that pic was probably taken in 1965 or 1966. I was a dreadful baseball player,however I was able to carry myself and act like I was top notch.😀 Blue

Sounds like it was a fun gig. We're playing The Blondi Pop in West Bend this Sat night. I hope it doesn't snow. I always turn the horns off on my GK cabs, our sound software doesn't like them. Daryl

I was a part of a sports team. I'm the kid on the far right. Me and the guy next to me had already formed a band. 😀 Blue
