Sounds like me when I put on the Songs from Tsongas DVD.

[edit] except of course there's no wife, no cat, and the neighbors are pretty far away.

Wasn't it Beethoven, deaf and old, but kept on rockin?
Chuck your story is like dejvu'.
Mine was a Marshall superbass 100 (retired long ago). I was just fooling around on when I pulled out a guitar stand to photo for another thread.
I forgot how loud this was!!!
Dave my neighbors aren't far away, they just put up with me. For that I'm thankful.

I was playing my bass just yesterday in my music room, my wife opens the door sticks here head in and ask, don't you think that's a little too loud?, to which I look her dead in the eye a put my left hand up to my ear and respond with..WHAT?.

I got it out just in time; a little crunchy, but good!

This week is PBS pledge drive week and one of the specials this week is a James Taylor tribute filmed earlier this year and now out on DVD. I watched it a few nights ago and in my opinion the best performance of the evening was the Dixie Chicks's cover of James' Shower The People. So I'm sitting here just now and the PBS station is re-running the tribute, and when the Chicks come on, I'm turning up the volume. Just a powerful performance. Oh and it was James' band, and Jimmy Johnson's Alembic was way up in the mix.

I sort of have this feeling Dave just might be vegetarian, Chuck... but I was seriously thinking of mailing him a check for a fine meal, after his heroics this evening, so I understand where you're coming from. But remember, it wasn't you who burned Dave's dinner :-)

Dixie Chicks, huh? I know I like their politics, but don't believe I've ever heard any of their music. From what you describe, I wish I could hear it.

Blind Faith, this year I bought a dvd of their free concert in Hyde Park. It's a good dvd, very much of it's time.

Our local PBS (Sacramento, CA) is running the Grateful Dead Dead Ahead concert from 1980 at Radio City Music Hall. I think 1980 puts them just about in the middle of their career. The show features Ripple and Little Red Rooster among others, and they closed it with their version, or should I say that night's version, of Good Lovin. I am not a Deadhead by any means, but I did enjoy watching--they've got a presence and energy all their own, that's for sure.

Thats me whenever im ?????? up!.....I dont give a shit bout my neighbors.......f***em!...I blast my music whenever i feel like it,& I tell the wife to go her mammas house if it's too loud!......when i got my Bass in my hands watch the ???? out!!!

David Houck · « **Reply #13 on:** December 09, 2006, 07:31:28 AM »

Blind Faith! Wow!

Yes, I caught some of Dead Ahead the other night; it was the accoustic segment, and it was great! Jerry's singing was very good as were the harmonies. Some club members have recommended the Dead Ahead DVD and after the bit a saw I can see why.

And yes, Bob's right; while I appreciate the sentiment, I'll have to pass on the venison chili.

Oh and Bob, I've always appreciated the Dixie Chicks for their musicianship, songwriting and, for lack of a better word, honesty.

I liked some of the Dixie Chicks music but not their politics.
