Some day, all of this will get out and we will have no one to blame but us.

In the meantime, Mark has offered to bow. 

Does this mean the ritual can begin?

I'll drag you all down to my level of depravity,

Hmm... puts a hole new spin on steppin' up...

Dave... can we have a double face-palm emoticon please... we need a double face-palm emoticon... where is a double face-palm emoticon when you need one...?

Challenge accepted!

Have I somehow missed this before...? From what I remember, Steve Fossen mostly used a Jazz, but in these he has a 'Bird...

As a curious aside, Nancy Wilson has admitted that they borrowed the riff from this cover of a Joni Mitchell song for one of their more popular numbers after touring as a support for them... this vid also features a 'Bird...

And who thought of that arrangement: Roger Glover! He produced Naz at the time.

The now sadly defunct Saint Jude with two birds, one English and signing, the other a Yank Studio one ...

Speaking of Saint Jude and Lynne Jackaman.  Here she is in 2014.  There are no Thunderbirds here or any Gibsons at all.  But her drummer here was once in a band with a guy who could play an EB-3 or EB-1 pretty well.

[uwe]

You're just posting her because she's pretty! My original post at least feigned some affiliation! I'll have none of that ulterior-motive-drenched behavior here!



To resurrect some semblance of pertinence from this avalanche of male hormones, here she is with a - now we're stretching it ... - Les Paul-shaped bass (from the Far East):

I had no ulterior motives at all.  I've never had any ulterior motives concerning Lynne Jackaman.  If I had, posting this would have been too easy.  I really like this song, by the way. 

[uwe]

Good song. I hear the TBird on it too!

[Ken]

She's got quite a last name.

  Nothing is sacred here - adolescence abounds.

When Sweet decided to de-adolescentize their music from teeny bop to glam to semi-Deep Purple to semi-10cc, they attempted a waltzy duet with Mutt Lange's first wife Stevie and Steve Priest plucked his TBird to it:



Stevie, if I may say so, was quite a lass.

She had a band called "Night" with Chris Thompson (he of Manfred Mann's Earth Band) for a while.







I guess this - with its springsteenish vibe - was even a minor hit stateside?

[westen44]

Stevie wasn't just quite a lass, but also quite a singer.  I wasn't surprised when I read she did a lot of vocal coaching. 

[gearHed289]

Stevie is quite a singer indeed! Never heard of her before.

If we're showing videos of pretty girls and T-birds, here's an old promo clip from 2009 from a cover band I spent some years with. Amber Tripp is her name...
