Seriously, with its catchy, uplifting, yet minimalist hook it is very American in a good way. You guys excel at joyful music.

Randall is on the Facebook Thunderbird group, posts occasionally.

That's good to hear.

52 years later, all the original members of Jo Jo Gunne plus Jimmie Randall are still living (don't know about the others). That's unusual for a 70s rock band.

Thank a fella named J.P. Sousa. One of the most brilliant march composers in history. Practically every march he ever wrote is an earworm. Marches may be out of favor as popular music, but every 4th you will find large crowds savoring every note, and his marches play continually with fireworks displays.

I like that march because it is so upbeat and life-affirming, nothing militaristic to it, even the freedom-lauding lyrics defy the usual nationalist themes.

ESP?

Hamer. I thought the knob layout looked like it (closer to the neck), then I saw the headstock which confirmed.

That white T-bird is almost as glitzy as the musician!  Looks very cool.

It's a good bass - love the Gibson pickups!

We had really cool projected backdrops for that show, Ginger our Keys player put together 3 one hour sets of '80 themed imagery that were projected behind us -  Hit the big time!

Looks like the drummer isn't a team player. Mark did you offer to help him with the make up?  :-*
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Those heels 👠 used to be higher, Mark, are we letting up? Is "comfortable wear" all of the sudden a relevant criteria?
