This is a band which seems to be achieving some local success at small venues. Still, I didn't even know about them until I saw this video with a Gibson bass. They're a little too post-punk pop rock for my taste. But I genuinely wish them success and maybe they will get it, too.

Back in the early 60s, the long shoremen, field hands, lumberjacks and iron workers who doubled as bassplayers needed extra space for their huge meat hooks to navigate around the controls. As the cultural revolution took hold, Gibson realized the stoner hippies playing psychedelic music didn't need as much room for their dainty girly hands. Just a guess.
we had a pretty good turnout, it's hard to tell but the room was quite big.
Oh wow, good eyes Proggie Boy (and I thought you were only good at counting uneven meters!), one lives and learns.

I didn't even know that anybody ever bothered to copy the 4005 look.

Don't try this at home, please.
One of my favorite lyric lines is in "Tequilla Sunrise" - "workin' on a dream he planned to try" - four "conditionals" stacked into one line.
