  1. From the top of the Hill Country—FIGHT!
  2. From the top of the Hill Country: FIGHT!
  3. I don’t know, farmer, there’s just something about you that really pisses me off—doG. Old cotton country joke.
  4. I can handle the Brussels sprouts and fish chili potatoes, but the salt cod intrigues me-heard about it all my life, never tasted it. Where did you find it? Did you soak it before cooking? Cooked in a big ole skillet? Thanks!
  5. And Trini Lopez! That’s one of the worst Lip-syncing cuts I’ve ever seen, but Sahm’s hair is magnificent. It might have gotten a little dusty in here when I heard he had died at the Taos Inn. A magnetic, charismatic performer, and one of the great Texas songwriters and bandleaders.
  6. From a beautiful morning at the top of the Hill Country—-FIGHT!
  7. Sounds like “rules of the road” for a serial killer.
  8. Fired, quit, makes no difference; of course he’s going back to his regular office and classroom-he’s a tenured professor at a large state school. Duh!
  9. I’m catching up on my favorite thread-did McMurphy call Texas the “Longhorn state?” There’s a clue……..
  10. 48 years yesterday..what a long, strange trip…………….
  11. For Biff Tanner: last I knew from friends in the convenience store business in New Mexico, the state has a hard ceiling on the number of alcohol licenses to be sold, period. That is, if you want a license, you have to buy an existing one. In the mid 80’s (!) a license was worth $1,000,000.. that would probably cut out some Allsup’s. Don’t know exactly the situation now………..
  12. Best guess: is that Waylon and first bride?
  13. What starts in this thread changes the world.
  14. Yes Didn’t Micawber originally have some oddball (Fender?) lap steel ‘bucket, or am I just confusing it with the Coodercaster?
  15. The song that sparked my sometimes incomprehensible love trying to play “smooth” jazz. RIP.
  16. Very nice looking Esquire, but I’m soon to build a flipped version, with just a neck pickup to dial in that warm, woody, “airy” Tele sound, probably with flatwounds. Horses for courses, I reckon.
  17. Anybody ever travel with a Flying Longhorns group? Did I miss a thread somewhere? Any comments or reviews are welcome, I think…………………
  18. OK, I give-what the hell is that thing she’s playing with the scratch pad (?)

    Jim Croce

    Also, outstanding guitar playing from his musical sidekick Maury Muhlheisen (sp?) who died in the crash with Croce.
  20. Fascinating topic. My Schrade/Old Timer 3-blade Stockman, 1966. In my pocket now. A Frederick Post slide rule from 1969; no, I don’t use it every day, but I damned sure still know how to-just tested myself. Miscellaneous tools from 1968, when i bought my first motorcycle-Dad didn’t have anything metric.
  21. What in the cornbread hell is that horror show all about? No accounting for “taste,” i guess.
  22. I actually got interviewed for a new job once at that north Marimont-buncha high rollers.
  23. That Paterson is a beauty! I’ve never seen a Paterson repro in stainless-is that in the white? My father had a Cimarron Navy conversion in .38 Special-great “feel” and pointed like a forefinger. “Sights” were useless to me. Definitely a point and boom interface.
  24. FWIW, I bought a couple of drinks for a (venue) sound tech-not a roadie-a few years ago after a ZZ show. He claimed the Reverend was running completely through a cooking 5W Fender Champ miked into the venue PA. Said those amps and stacks onstage were all show, no go. He also mentioned that neither Billy nor Dusty could hear it thunder. I last talked to Billy G in a hotel bar 30+ years ago, and he could hear fine then. Shrug. Who knows? Billy G is notorious for talking and telling us nothing.
  25. You talkin’ to me? I don’t sell guns, guitars, or fly rods. My kids can sort all that out………………
