Gibson Basses / Re: Music videos that feature Thunderbirds
« Last post by Stjofön Big on May 02, 2024, 02:48:23 PM »Hey Miss T-bird! Don't even think about quitting! Forty years ago I had to stop playing with a pic, because of arthritis in my thumbs. So, you go with the flow. I re-learnt to play with my fingers, and in a short while I never thought about playing with a pic again. So, do not worry. It's all gonna change for the better. And, concerning age, forget it. In three years time I'll turn into the next-next phase before it's time for the big one - one hundred! Rehearsed with my rock band tonite. Our drummer is only sixty, so he can still shuffle out the shuffle without problems. Stuff like Junior's wailing suits me just fine. Pinball wizard goes down well. Keep on keeping on! Don't look back!

You're correct, I did want to change my stage wear after the long break for Covid, the band had changed as well so it seemed a good time. Truthfully, those are still 3 inch heels but those and a cocktail dress are much, much easier to wear through 3 hours of playing than 6 inch platform boots. Perhaps it's okay to change, I'm going to be 66 this year and while I still can play at the level this band requires, I can see the writing on the wall, there's maybe 2- 3 years left at the very most - my hands are shot.

The small dinosaurs died first (mom and pop stores), but the larger ones followed in due course.
