Just wondering
« on: April 30, 2025, 06:59:22 AM »
With Senior Management having spent all but 7 days of this month in first a hospital and then a rehab facility - both about an hour away - I've been doing a lot of driving & listening.  For a while, I just played people I'd worked for or with, and this has raised a question:


Was it actually a law in the 1980s that anyone playing an electric guitar had to do so through a dimed chorus?

It was more of the Social Compact in those days.  Now I need to find my Chorus pedal!


It drove the Mexicans out of a bar we played once and we got a huge tip.  I didn't agree with the patrons sentiment, it was not my goal to annoy any nationality.


They made the comment, and we took the money 'cos we weren't so aware of how strange it was. Ah, the younger days of the 80's...
The only thing that stays the same is change.

And/or the Clavinet.
