    Somebody threw down a $20 last night so we had to play Mustang Sally. I could see everybody's face instantly light up when we started it. What is it about that song?

    Anyone SCUBA?

    Wetsuits work very well. Notice how surfers are able to spend hours in cold water wearing minimal wetsuit protection. The very thin layer of water trapped between your body and the suit warms in seconds. There is only a very quick initial sensation of coldness which you'll immediately be...

    Ouch. That's an old one. I've posted this here too but not in a long time and maybe not in this thread: "In the beginning there was a bass. It was a Fender. Probably a Precision, but it could have been a Jazz… nobody knows for sure. Anyway, it was very old… definitely pre- C.B.S. And God...

    Anyone SCUBA?

    Ouch. Because of a lost weight belt. Two mistakes were made hypothetically: I didn't check my gear properly and I lost visual contact with my dive buddy. ..plus when this almost happened to me - I grabbed my belt it as it was slipping and secured it - I may have been miles away from any...

    Anyone SCUBA?

    Somebody answer me this: You're down at 100 feet and you're weight belt slips off because you didn't secure it properly and you start to ascend uncontrollably because of your tank, natural body and wetsuit buoyancy like a cork. Your dive "buddy" is oblivious to your situation. Maybe there are...

    Anyone SCUBA?

    When I took the course in the early 70s the dive instructor was ex Navy Seal. He was super strict and constantly hammered us about the dangers of scuba diving. We learned buddy-breathing, tank ditching and ascent, diving to the bottom of the pool and putting on the gear there etc. all the while...

    That is so clever! I've never seen that before. "he's only had tenor so patrons, the soprano out in the bathroom, and everything has become alto much treble, he needs a rest and closes the bar." groan....

    Anyone SCUBA?

    I was certified way back in the early 70s through NASDS. My father and I both got certified and spent some quality time together doing a few dives. I never explored it further after I left home although I really enjoyed it. My certification dive was in Monterey Bay CA. That was some cold water...

    You know it's funny..as good as I sometimes think I am, learning chops on top of chops, I just can't seem to get there...and they were just kids. Maybe it's because they got there first. (and James Jamerson before him) You can never compete with that. ...but I always enjoy listening. Edit. Let...

    The bass playing on this recording just knocks me out...What sounds like an organ is actually Rusty Young's peddle steel amplified through a Leslie (Hammond rotating speaker device)

    No! Absolutely not, Good call and question though. That was Jerry Garcia on peddle steel - first record. Skip Spence from Jefferson Airplane on drums? Anybody? Edit: Yeah. That's Skip.

    I know that someday soon my steady gig will come to an end, then my wife and I would like to move away from L.A. to somewhere more rural where we can have a dog or two that can roam free. I also know there will always be a blues jam or a front porch strum that will welcome me and my upright or...

    Years ago back in the early 70s, I was in a country rock band called Stoney Creek. Mike Hopkins, the lead player, had a Telecaster fitted with "Palm Peddles" or something. Dave knows what I mean. Coupled with a glass slide and a volume peddle, he just about nailed the sound of a peddle steel...

    Emmy Lou today? No. Time just won't stop but don't worry, I'm workin' on it. That was indeed Richie Furay and I'm going to guess Rusty Young on peddle steel. I don't really know. The song was recorded and released as Buffalo Springfield but to my mind it's Poco.

    Well, Dave.... I'm glad you were able to find some meaning in that post because I can't figure out what I was trying to say. It was one of those late-night posts that I mentioned earlier.

    Struggle is part of the game (art) to me. It's growth, It's life "You can sleep all you want when your dead". ETA I know this sounds militaristic. Music is fun in the bottom line but it also takes it's toll in blood (self esteem) and if you don't know what I'm talking about (rhetorical), you...
