Do you have any musician friends out there in Tenessee that know about stringed instruments? Pawn shops are great-if you know what a solid playable instrument is thatcan be set up proper. I mean, I've set up MANY instruments for nuthin'...just happy to give a novice a playable instrument before he did or bought something stupid. I know Covid situation is tricky right now, be careful, be smart, etc. But a used Squire, Ibanez, ESP, is gonna be for the most part, a quality instrument you can work with/learn on. If it feels good, that's the most important thing, if it plays in tune, the rest (look at the arsenals some of us have) will come later. Get yerself a playable instrument and take some lessons

HA! Sleeper Alert! Great rendition, GREAT TUNE (TOON), Great Composer, the whole album is bitchin', and yes, I remember the first time it was on and watch it every year! And it's the only Christmas tune I know on Stick.

That is really cool. I can't wait to see it on MTV. I'll be watching on my triangular viewscreen.

Only Yanks get to make fun of Trump. Wait. Live gigs back in the spring? (No, I haven't read pgs. 1-8)

I saw Gang Of Four for the Songs Of The Free tour at Art Stock's Royal Manor, New Jersey. I don't dance but I think I drank one beer that night because I was a dervish. Hugo and Sara Lee belted out a beat you could build a cathedral on, Andy Gill made sounds The Edge never thought of...the most psychedelic dance experience I ever had with no chemicals involved. The whole place just shook with dance. Yeah, I was slack-jawed. Jon King was at his peak too, he sounded like Bowie

Interesting thread. I've been wondering recently why we don't use Bronze strings on electric basses...you've answered my unasked question.
Good Gosh. They would look ugly

My God, one of my most favorite songs ever! David does a nice job.

In the 80's we used Careering - Public Image Ltd. At the time we were playing a tune called Excuses. Sort of funk w/ a rapping lyric, kinda spoken word/poetry (white middle-class American chaps...you know)

I'm afraid that you are!
To be a working musician now (even at a semi-pro level), you need to have a social media presence, be able to receive files etc and preferably be able to record tracks at home. I speak as someone older than you and a bit of a semi-technophobe myself. The COVID situation has really brought this home to me. I've seen guys who are my peers appear on all sort of Facebook collaborations and keeping a visible profile, while I can't use a DAW properly and have been left behind a bit (not to mention missing out on recording an album and having to decline the offer of an internet session for a client of a guitar player that I used to play with). This is something I need to sort out as soon as I can.
If I was you, I would get a mid level laptop, open a Facebook account (even if you only use it for musical purposes) and install Reaper, which seems to be the easiest DAW to learn. Good luck...
Same here Bro., and from what I've read and heard on YouTube the guys@ Reaper made a ton of $ on another project they sold and offer Reaper really afffordable as a give-back to us blokes. All we need to to do is make the leap to learn it. 62 and can't catch a WAV...

I'm gonna add a couple, but when a band or musician TOTALLY TRANSFORMS a song you gotta give props so yeah, Jimi's version of Watchtower and Yes's version of America (and our boy Chris rips the snot into it) BTW, when asked about Jimi covering his songs, Dylan said he was suprised he hadn't done more, "they were all his anyway".
My pics. Isley Bros.- Summer Breeze -Seals&Crofts. (I Know I'm) Losing You - Rare Earth Extended LP version w/ Killer guitar solo

Seven Steps to Heaven - Miles Davis

I have a smartphone. That I hate. I picked up a refurbished laptop for about $250 US. And I have Audacity installed, though I might go for Reaper. Tiny screens are tiny.

A joke. Gosh, you Brits. An American can't even get a Canadian Joke in edge-wise.
