BluesKing777 Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Note it says :"purchasing a new hand built guitar"..... Is that 'no machines'? 'some machines?' 'hand built on a machine?' 'strings put on by hand after the robot did the rest?' No, it says'new hand built'.... Doesn't say whether it has to be any good. BluesKing777.

uncle fester Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 The Fountain of Youth------a guitar and a dog/cat. [thumbup] I'll second this although I don't know what a dog/cat is. I imagine it's the head of a dog on the body of a cat, because the other way around just seems silly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Actually, the "/" means either a dog or a cat. However, I suspect that a dat or a cog would also add years to one's life. [flapper] [flapper] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyd Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) I'll second this although I don't know what a dog/cat is. Neither do I, but I know what a dogcow is. And it says "moof, moof!" https://512pixels.net/dogcow/ Edited April 17, 2019 by Boyd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Of course, the odds of an extended life from buying a hand built acoustic guitar can be drastically shortened if you play at various festivals..... My band in a van had to get through a massive cordon of police near the festival gates, that were checking everything and everyone and then a cordon of dudes with shotguns on the other side of the gate....we played the first songs way...too fast, but this chap slept on....!

Looks like everyone remaining still had their coolers full of beer, however. Nice-looking group of lads. That one is a late Sunday afternoon slot after it started during the early part of the week.... As a glutton for punishment, I played there 3 times in 3 different bands, musical whore I was. :mellow: First time, played at dusk on the Saturday and the place was jumping; next time had endless delays and we played at about 2am Sunday morning with things getting a bit ordinary. I think we got booked after playing at a pub on the band circuit. There's me 2nd from left on stage on the Sunday afternoon - nobody had a camera in the earlier gigs...: BluesKing777.

Altamont Free Festival revisited. Nervous does not describe it! That was 3 different years I mentioned, spread out, not all in one weekend. And we played 6 or 7 different headquarters/fortress/clubroom gigs.... Oh what a quiet life I live working on this computer! A bit of a strum at lunch! (I didn't think they liked us or our blues music much, but we kept getting booked. We had a fancy inner city cocktail type bar residency on Saturday nights with the band in the photo above and some of the guys came in to see us. The bar owner collapsed in fright!) BluesKing777.

BluesKing777 Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) Talking with my wife, besides the BK frontliners, any other big name bands at those Hells Angels shows? Good question, Billroy. Don’t know.... I tried some research on Google but had confused and mixed results. Anyway, the concerts went 3 or 4 days non stop day and night on a huge property the Angels owned. They had various headliners on the prime night spots and lots of filler (us!) to keep it coming out non stop. But Canned Heat played a few years early on and all the big local acts - the concerts ran from about ‘73 to ‘93 when the do-gooders git it canned (Ha!) for too much ..heat? Ha. ‘A hotbed of criminal activity’, they called it. BluesKing777. Edited April 19, 2019 by BluesKing777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
