Everything you wanted to know about the Red Special and probably a lot of stuff you'd rather not waste brain cells on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Special

"Don't Stop Believin'" -- Journey

How a bout 150K? https://www.dreamguitars.com/shop/amplification/amplifiers/dumble/dumble-overdrive-special-00-50w-0020/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA_tuuBhAUEiwAvxkgTo3uQGoyZzKWffuDm7-EzEF9sZpcxmr3X4Iv-cOAw3FZa4FOWwDE6BoC5TsQAvD_BwE

Why are the controls on the front in German and the ones on the back are in English?

I've worked on old pocket watches and every time I see this thread I think of the Radium Girls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium_Girls

"Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy" -- Bad Company

"Hawks & Doves" -- Neil Young

I just right click the image. Open it in another tab. Then copy the url and plug it into "insert image from url". Sounds harder than it is.

"Smokin' in the Boy's Room" -- Brownsville Station

My 1999 J-45 Rosewood that I bought new in 2000. It played like butter and had great tone. Headstock developed a crack around 2020 and I sold it as is/in need of repair. I actually got what I paid for it. If I ever buy another guitar(unlikely), I would get another rosewood J-45. If you include non-Gibsons, I regret trading my 1980 Guild D-55 for a 1994 J-45. That Guild was the best sounding guitar I ever owed, but the long scale neck was tough on me. After I got rid of it, I was regretted it so much, I tried to find a replacement. I bought and sold 3 more D-55s, until the 4th one was a keeper.

"These Eyes" -- The Guess Who

"Parson Brown" -- New Riders of the Purple Sage Lyrics: Well, down, down, down, Parson Brown Was discovered in the well, dead as hell

"Devil with the Blue Dress " -- Mitch Ryder

I met a guy who's been married to the same woman for 49 years. I asked him what his secret was for having such a long marriage. He said: "The secret is going on trips. For our 25th anniversary we went to China. For our 50th anniversary, I'm going back to pick her up."

"Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" -- The Hollies

If you take a close look at the pictures of the two "different" Les Pauls in Pelham Blue, you would see that they are the same guitar down to the same serial #.

It took me a long time. But, I learned the 15 minutes of pleasure wasn't worth the 23 hours and 45 minutes of aggravation. To put this thread back on track, I'll have to add: driving at night to #2. I used to love getting in the car at 2:00-3:00 in the morning and drive around on empty roads. It was so relaxing. Now, my night vision is shot and I only drive at night if it's absolutely necessary.

"Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)" -- Rod Stewart

I'll play. But, most of mine are sports related. 1) The things I enjoy and still do: Bicycling. My true passion. I still ride more miles per year than your average American drives. I'm just not as fast. Next is cooking. I'm a very good cook and I like to eat. 2) Things I enjoyed but can't do: Playing football, baseball, softball, handball, paddleball and fast-pitch stickball. Next, is sleeping through the night without getting up every two hours to pee. 3) Things I said good riddance to; Anything the woman I was dating at the time wanted to do. Part B to this is: Shopping for Birthday, Anniversary, Valentine's Day, Christmas, etc. presents for the same woman. Also, working for a living. Retirement is the best job I ever had. Edit: I need to add to #1: Flying kites. And, after reading Sparquelito's list, I have to add flying commercial airlines to #3. I never liked flying, but I had to for my job. I haven't been on a plane in 10 years.

If a mime jumps off a building and he hits the ground does it make a sound?

"Take It to the Limit" -- Eagles

I once found a hand truck in the road. Too bad I was on a bicycle and about 15 miles from home. I just moved it to the side of the road, so no one would hit it.

The writing on the label looks like the guy had a three martini lunch.

"Call Me the Breeze" -- J. J. Cale
