A friend of mine has a footpump organ. He has used it to provide the soundtrack to silent films at his home; he is a film collector and has a truly huge collection of films in 16mm and 35mm, with a nice little theater in his basement.

Christmas Eve at Waters Edge Church.....It was a blast!

Clearing out some stuff in the basement, I came across an album of photos of my band back in 1983. Extra points for anyone who can identify the bass...

Ding ding! It's a Washburn Vulture - one of the Wing series guitars and basses from the late '70s/early '80s. It was a rather fine instrument - neck-thru construction - but what you don't see is the permanent furrow in my right arm from keeping the thing in a playing position. Talk about neck-heavy...sloop_john_b wrote:Is that a Washburn? S.D. Curlee?

This is from around 1990, playing at the Bayou in Georgetown, Washington DC (sadly been demolished).
I bought the Gretsch with no case from a pawn shop for $300. There wasn't much of an Internet to research it then, but I found a book in the library (I think Gruhn's Guide) that led me to think (from the sticker inside the guitar) that it was a '59. Thumbnail markers, ebony board. It had been modified - had a Filtertron in the neck, a Dimarzio humbucker in the bridge, and an extra control pot on the pickguard. With only one toggle switch, I assume it originally was a single-pickup guitar. Wish I'd never sold it, but I did after a few years for what I thought was a good profit -- $600 (but with a $100 case thrown in)

Bizarre... I linked to my Picasa web photo album and can view it here in Safari, but it's a black block in Firefox. And now when I check Picasa itself, it has a viewable thumbnail, yet clicking it to view full size results in the black box (on Firefox). I'll try attaching the photo instead of linking.johnallg wrote:Robert, kinda dark that night?

(Also works correctly in Opera. Looks like a Firefox bug related to how Picasa writes the JPEG).
