Are we talking about the Captain's Log.

"Human Being Blues" -- Skip Battin

To wipe out the Klingons.

I didn't know Gibsons were dry clean only. I've been throwing mine in the washer.

"The Power" -- Snap

"In the Navy" -- Village People

According to this site: https://www.guitarscollector.com/gibson-serial-numbers-legenda.html, it's '74-'75. ---------- 1970 - 1975 ---------- From 1970 to 1975 the method of serializing instruments at Gibson became even more random. All numbers were impressed into the wood and a six-digit number was assigned, though no particular order was given and some instruments had a letter prefix. In 1970, the words MADE IN USA were impressed into the back of instrument headstocks (though a few instruments from the 1950s also had this). NUMBER ---> YEAR 000000S ---> 1973 100000S ---> 1970-1975 200000S ---> 1973-1975 300000S ---> 1974-1975 400000S ---> 1974-1975 500000S ---> 1974-1975 600000S ---> 1970, 1971, 1972, 1974, 1975 700000S ---> 1970, 1971, 1972 800000S ---> 1973, 1974, 1975 900000S ---> 1970, 1971, 1972 6 DIGITS + A ---> 1970 A + 6 DIGITS ---> 1973, 1974, 1975 B + 6 DIGITS ---> 1974, 1975 C + 6 DIGITS ---> 1974, 1975 D + 6 DIGITS ---> 1974, 1975 E + 6 DIGITS ---> 1974, 1975 F + 6 DIGITS ---> 1974, 1975 NOTES: When the Nashville Gibson plant was opened in 1974, it was decided that the bulk of the production of products would be run in the South; the Kalamazoo plant would produce the higher end (fancier) models in the North. Of course, many of the older guitar builders and craftsmen were still in Kalamazoo, and if they weren’t ready to change how they built guitars, then they may not have been ready to change how they numbered them! Certain guitar models built in the late 1970s can be used to demonstrate the old-style, six-digit serial numbers. It is estimated that Gibson’s Kalamazoo plant continued to use the six-digit serial numbers through 1978 and 1979. So double check the serial numbers on those 1970s L-5s, Super 400s, and Super 5 BJBs!

"Jive Talkin'" -- Bee Gees

"Jump" -- Van Halen

Is that a Foto Flame?

Since this is going the way of cute baby animals, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Here is a pic of me holding my baby Caiman (circa 1974). Kind of cute in the pic, but once he doubled in size I couldn't get near him.

"Call Me" -- Blondie

I've never been banned from a forum. Not for lack of trying. But, if I was ever banned from any of the forums I haunt, it wouldn't matter to me. Just more free time away from the computer and doing something more rewarding.

"Crazy Little Thing Called Love" -- Queen

"Born on the Bayou" -- Creedence Clearwater Revival

You have to wonder: Why was the truss rod overtightened in the first place?

I went to the doctor the other day and told him I had a buzzing in my ear. He said: "It's just a bug that's been going around".

Recorded, my voice sounds very nasal. I guess I could cover Alvin and the Chipmunks' tunes.

"Sea Child" -- Hot Tuna

"Ballroom Blitz" -- Sweet

Just think, if we lost the Revolutionary War, we'd be speaking English today.

"Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone" -- The Temptations

Chicago (The American Band) used a "u" in "Colour My World".

"Bring It Down to Jelly Roll" -- John Fogerty

"The First Cut is the Deepest" -- Rod Stewart
