The Last Bass Outpost

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.
 

I like it!

It's an audience pleaser and a sweet, simple bass line. One of my favorites to play.

I think Burton Cummings has one of the more distinctive voices in music.  As it happens, I once worked at a radio station in Idaho where his cousin Gary was the program director.

 It's my fault 

I think you're right. Once you've seen Mark, who's brave enough to compete??   

The Battle Over Classic Rock Band the Guess Who Just Went Nuclear

Very interesting - we just got tickets to a concert series in Fort Collins this summer, and the band Guess Who is one of the concerts.

Respect for the Frogman.  He was one of the old guard.
