Bare-bones set at Austin City Hall yesterday. I think you can barely make out my tiny 18watt Behringer bass amp. Sounded good!

Seems the size of my rig decreases as my age increases.

 I was watching The Beatles at the Washington DC gig. I am some what wistful at the thought of playing a Hofner through a 50w amp.

I can tell by the first pic that you are doing "Love Me Do".  8)  Very cool seeing David Fore playing drums.  He was in Bubble Puppy as well as one of my favorite 80's Austin bands, D Day.   :)

Congrats Ronn and Eggmen!

Congratulations and happy anniversary!

Will the mayor be sitting in with you like Rick Perry did?  ;)
