The Last Bass Outpost

 

 If, by some chance I have managed to drag you, of all people, down just a little 

Well, it's a pretty short trip....

I remember reading some time ago that one (1) tree of the Sherwood forest had been preserved alive.  I can't recall the source.

I like ZZ TOp, including most of their newer stuff. They simply are what they are, and have been for years.

A man who created a distinctive sound that people fell in love with. Also closely linked by reverb to surf and artists like Link Wray.

R.I.P., Duane.

Easy!!!

Nice work in that, including the Mercedes auto museum.  Alfonso Jimenez seems to create a number of videos, all high quality.

Agreed, that blue is lovely. The right shade of blue is a color which has led me to make some interesting and possibly ill-considered purchases.

On a skillet-hot 4th of July about 1995, I spotted an '85 Chevy short box pickup on a used car lot in Austin, TX.  It was one of those shades of blue.

Getting it out of town required a new battery, an alternator, and a few miles down the road, a fuel pump. Most things in life are more enjoyable than replacing the fuel pump on a hot Chevy 305 V8 while working in a couple of inches of dust by the side of a Texas road in 100 degree heat.

It wasn't until i drove it a few days that I learned it need a transmission rebuild. The rest was chump change that I did myself, but that one was done by a local shop. That pickup ended up being more expensive than I expected.

But it was blue, beautifully blue. And fortunately it ran great after the tranny was sorted out.
