Title: hey all. back after a long , too long time away.
Post by: jumbodbassman on April 27, 2015, 07:50:36 AM: hope all you DUDES are doing well. I have been away for a long while

My health is still doing great. No sign of the C word. lost about 40 pounds so in better shape than i have been in 10 plus years.

My divorce is finally moving along. Dating at 58 is interesting LMAO

gigging a lot the last 15 months or so.

AND FINALLY BACK TO WORK.... corporate america has allowed me back in.... Actually working at a startup Fin Tech new buzz phrase - short for financial technology company. pay is decent with some equity involved...

Jim Jumbod ( no more)

I came over in all innocence to simply inspect how my bass was doing!!! Access to your bedroom, this cavern of sin, was denied IIRC!!! I just got to fondle some model train fetish gear.

Welcome back, Jim, as you see everyone has turned worse here.

Post by: jumbodbassman on May 11, 2015, 09:02:24 AM: GREAT to see nothing has changed much. LMAO.....

Yeah I'm still playing those damn boutique basses and old fender P's (so sorry) and an occasional JAEbird...... and my singing is pretty much totally back minus a little on the falsetto.

4 bands and couple big breasted woman to keep me busy...... life doesnt suck so much anymore....

I blame Mark for your deplorable development here, Ken.

When a child goes bad it's no cause for celebration.
