Just joined, and wanted to say hello...with a flock of '79 T-Birds

He avoided answering the Led Zep question ... Must I be worried?

So you dare to walk in here with a Tbird foursome doin' that 69 thing? If so, you are very welcome!

[uwe]

I like the way the Greek fruit vendor thinks.

I thought you got round the "He who shalt not be named" defence rather neatly too, but lets not get too deep...

Velcum T'Birder...

I'm already turning Purple in shame & guilt!

But I guess you'll always be a soldier of fortune...

He's outing the man in black...

Beautiful birds! You are most welcome here.

Ok, now after a night out with my cardiologist, drinking scotch and sharing a cigarette (what IS it with doctors and smoking?) I can answer all your questions.

I love Zeppelin. John Paul Jones...well, let's just say, left an impression on me. My very first band, when I had a '63 Jazz Bass (...that I sold a year later for $600....to buy a Guild Pilot bass! (it was 1987. Things were weird back then) I was in my first recording studio and nervous as hell. Ian MacKaye (for anyone who followed DC punk, or has heard of Fugazi) was producing our first record. He, and the engineer, asked what kind of bass tone I was looking for. I, obviously, said, "uh....Led Zeppelin II."
They laughed.
A lot. 
And kept laughing.

But, yes, I love Zeppelin, though I haven't dabbled in the black arts...or, read much Crowley.

That all said, I'm beginning to like this forum a whole lot.

Welcome to the Outpost.
That's a unique collection you got there.

sooner or later you'll also have to fess up an opinion on Deep Purple, world war two aircraft, trains and anal play

 nice birds BTW

I've been vocal in my support for Led Zep and their much deserved success here at all times!

Doctors smoke because they know that all medicine and surgery is ultimately futile. And they tend to rely on statistical survival rates. My dad has been a smoker of 10 to a pack a day since his teenage days, he is 85 now, no matter what he does, cancer won't catch up with him anymore. That's not me advocating smoking, I never did (I would have been allowed to from at home no sweat, so there was no revolutionary point ever starting it). But as a liberal non-smoker, I've ironically been surrounded by smokers all my life. Smoking friends, smoking parents, smoking wives and even smoking kids! My dad, the perennial smoker, raised non-smokers (my brothers don't smoke either) and I, the non-smoker, did the reverse with my kids.

Ouch! Late 81/early 82 I sold my 79 Ric to buy an aluminum neck Kramer. Which was eventually replaced by a Guild Pilot. Which was eventually replaced by a Ric. 

Welcome Kingface!

Ok. Let's see:
- I love Deep Purple, but am not crazy at all about Rickenbacker basses. I still play Machine Head at least every few weeks.
- In order of personal favorites: Spitfire Mk Vb, F4U-4 Corsair (I grew up watching "Baa Baa Blacksheep"), Bf 109k, and the MiG3, (just 'cause the winter white camo with the red arrow on its fuselage was so cool-looking).
- Not a train guy. Nothing against them, just never got into them.
- Gonna hold-off on that last one.
