Yep. Has to be edited.

From 4th of July... Here's a couple of You Tubes (edit: below in next post) that Alberto edited of The Glendoras doing Ziggy Stardust and Strutter. In keeping with the fun, relaxed atmosphere of the block party, one of the Glendora Ave. neighbors joins in on the vocals on Strutter. So here's what happens when the neighbors throw a big party and guys with a bunch of Rickenbackers show up to play !

"Ziggy Stardust" features Paulie with his Gretsch Silver Jet (1957 RI) with De Armond Dynasonic pickups. Joey has the JetGlo 4004cii Cheyenne with Humbuckers and Rich has the FG 360-12 with Scatterwound Toasters. Robert S. is our lead singer and Alberto C. on the drums.

On "Strutter" Paulie showcases Big Red with the Sergio special overwound Hot Toasters. Joey has a favorite Bass, the 4001S Set Neck, with a non-original Toaster in the neck position and High Gain in the Bridge position. Rich has the JetGlo 370 WB with two High Gains and an HB1 in the Bridge position.

The wind really played havoc with mic picking up the sound well.





Should be several more vids than just these two.

Cool...........

Kissenbackers! Love it

Ozzy with Ricks!

Thanks for posting Ozzy's Crazy Train there Joey !
I don't know why I am having technical difficulties with getting the You Tubes to embed -- Oh well !

It may be the only Rickified version of an Ozzy Osbourne - Randy Rhoads tune to exist !!!

No problem, Rich. I can post them.

Jeez, I'm whiter than my jeans in that! Glad I got some sun, a fresh haircut, and started training since then!

Joey is def the "RRF Modfather", especially with that killer hat!

Thanks for posting, Joey. Lots of fun that day! Everyone was so solid play-wise. I hope Alberto can make it on 10/16.

How cool it is that your guest vocalist on "Strutter" had a matching red shirt and Beverage.
Sure it wasn't a homeless guy?

Yeah ... seems that red shirts were in vogue that day, except Joey had the very stylish black "Joey's Bass Notes" ™ tee shirt http://www.joeysbassnotes.com to go with his hat and I was wearing a Hawaiian shirt to go with my Panama hat !

The guest singer is a neighbor who lives across the street. . . and a big KISS fan.
