Yes, IIRC (it’s been years) your first posts must be approved by an admin. No worries.

Welcome to the madness!

Hope things go well for you Jacki. No apologies necessary.

Hi Mike, welcome to the club. Our Twins are definitely a pair of enchantresses, watch out for them. Their siren songs are irresistible, but so enjoyable.

The best companion one could wish for. Had to let him cross the bridge last year. His name was Brodi.<div>

Jurgen,

Supertramp is one of my favorites too, and Take the Long Way Home is one of their best.

I particularly love the end of the WOTT session of Breakfast in America, when our girls come back into the picture singing “Take the Long Way Home”.

So I put in my introduction page that JJ Cale is one of my favorite song writers, and I named my old Telecaster Mona after one of his songs . Searching the web to see if anyone else named a guitar Mona, is how I found our Twins. And here is my Mona.

Tim, I’m heartbroken for the friends and family of this young man. To be taken so young is a tragedy.

I think of a quote by Beethoven ,

“To play a wrong note is insignificant, to play with out passion is inexcusable “.

It sounds as if this young man played football with passion.

RIP

RIP Dr. Frank- N- Furter.

Saw Rocky Horror hundreds of times. I’ll play the time warp as a dirge.

Hey Gents, I don’t know if you’ve ever listened to Anna Nalick sing “Breathe”, but there is a line that goes “if I get it down on paper (the song) it’s no longer inside of me, threatening the life it belongs to”.

I’ve never heard a more accurate description of how powerful a song that’s trapped inside one can be.

Some of M&L’s originals have…

Their cover was better than Young’s original. But my favorite of her’s has always been this. From The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

The heartbreak is palpable.

Great memories Jacki, do you still play?

Ok, I’ve been gone a while, and you guys are still talking methods of conveyance.

The 70’s were great for toys that were truly dangerous and deadly ( Lawn Darts come to mind) and this little gem was right up there on the crazy scale. I had a friend who actually had one of these, and we tried to ride it. Broken bones were the main type of injury…

Chris, you know Derick is Butch Trucks’ nephew, and so is really a part of ABB. The rumor is that Derick is a contraction of D (uane) and Erick (Clapton).

Too many years since I’ve been on stage with a guitar in my hands, lately I’ve been stage manager, and my favorite part of a performance is the sound check. Have you heard this one?

An oldie…

Have you heard this young lady? As close to Karen as I have found, not counting Mona when she chooses to sing in a lower register. And sorry for the post, I know she’s not a family group.

Duane Allman has to be one of the greatest guitarists of all time, and Live at the Filmore one of the greatest albums. Chris, it’s good to see another ABB fan.

Never got to see Duane live, but I have seen Derick Trucks on several occasions. A worthy successor to Duane.

Welcome to the group Timo. Lots of good times to be had.

Happy Birthday!

Hi Tim, this song is so poignant and deep, it is really hard to imagine that 12-13 year olds wrote it. The angst that early teen girls feel and the terror of what the future holds for them is palpable in the lyrics. As a man, I cannot imagine what it must be like to be a girl 13 years old. All I can say is I don’t have the guts to be a…

Cool socks Jacki.

Looked it up, you’re right, not a place for children or sober people either.

Do they drink Electric Kool Aid in the electric forest? IYKYK…

Did not know that, thanks for posting.

Yes, I have been a LifeIn3D fan for a while now, their cover of “Go Rest High on That Mountain” is one of their best.

Wow, a very talented young lady. Where are all these young artists coming from? New music is consistently terrible on the radio, but there are just so many talented kids out there today. Not to try and hijack your thread Pete, but have you heard Alyssa Baker?

Happy Birthday! We appreciate all your hard work keeping the rest of the Wagners straight, it must be like hearding cats. Thank you. 😃

Was in the thrift store looking for vinyl a few weeks ago, and this was in the freebie basket. Brand new.

Hey Jung, yes I thought that they might like to make the announcement themselves, and that is why I waited, but the ads have been out 10 days now, and they were all over musician sites ( at least 6 maybe more) so I didn’t think that I was letting Stan out of the bag. My thoughts are that the quality of musician that they seek will most likely…

Dang, I’ll be here all night listening to these great tunes.

So we made it to trains now have we? I won’t search 9 pages to see if this has been posted, I’ll just post anyway. The quintessential train song…

These have been hitting my FYP on Facebook for a while now. Our girls have been posting on musician sites all over the UK. I waited to see if anyone else had seen them, but I guess not. Anyway, it looks like a trip to the UK needs to be planned. LOVELY!

PS ” with clipboards ” got to love Lisa’s sense of humor.

PPS Do you think they would let us…

For a week now these adverts have been popping up, and I can’t believe that no discussion has started here in the club. In a recent Q&A the girls said ” there have been meetings… with clipboards”.

I would have thought that the clubhouse would be all a twitter over it.

What do you think?

Tim, you would love the small town that I live in. Every Tuesday night we have an open Bluegrass jam in the old drugstore across from the courthouse. Kid you not.

Great list Jacki, how about The Andy Griffith Show?

Barchetta means ” little boat” in Italian. Usually refers to a small open top sports car.

Love that song, but can’t drive to it. I would need bail money 💰.

For those who love great sounding cars, I give you this…

Best with headphones and LOUD.

Hey Tim, I grew up in Charlotte, and went to school with several NASCAR driver’s kids. In the mid 70’s I hung out at a shop out at the airport, a little place started by Ralph Moody, and John Holman.

John’s son Lee was running it then. You might have heard of Holman-Moody. They built the engines for and ran some of the GT40’s from Le Mans fame.…

Hi Tim, yes it’s almost identical to your dad’s truck. Pretty cool, I like the patina.

I failed to load the engine pik.

Since this is your post, and you asked, here are a few.

3 Crown Victoria front suspension grafted in to chassis. Engine trial fit.

4 Ford 9″ rear end with disc brakes.

5 body work complete, no rust.

Old men like girls and hot rods too.😄

Notice Mona showing a bit of “More Forearm” here. (gotta love that)

Hi Jurgen, yes any given day I can be found elbows deep in something mechanical.

I thought this was a discussion about music (or art) and cars (or other vehicles), but I see that it has evolved into a discussion about covers. Some very interesting points have been made.

JJ Cale is my favorite song writer, he had a profitable career as a…

What a great subject suggested by Jacki. Literally had this still on the table from a few days ago. Was grooving in celebration of the 1st fire up of a hotrod 53 Ford pickup my best friend and I are building. Note my ultra cool orange alarm clock.
