The US certainly wasn't "woke" in 1941.

When my buddy Steve and I play acoustic duo show ( and also when we add more people and play as a full band) one of the songs we always do in the last set is You Can't Always Get What You Want. To take up time, I always do an improv jam over the C and F chords. A few years ago I somehow spontaneously came up with a way to fit the Jessica riff in there. Of course it's not in the same key and it's a slowed down version but it works. It's become a "thing" in our set now, where I will do an extended jam in the style of Dickey and eventually come back to You Can't Always Get What You Want I'm sure we will extend that jam even further at tomorrow nights gig.

I heard about this from one band mate tonight while I was at practice with my other band. He was one of my favorites, and I definitely cop a lot of his style in my own playing. Of course nowhere near his level. RIP

RIP. He was one of my favorites.

That a good song. I remember jamming with my buddy on that song back in the late 80s/early 90s.

Like everyone else here, I'm sorry for your loss. I know, in the scheme of things, they don't compare. But that is a beautiful guitar you have. Hopefully you will have a happy memory every time you play it..

These days, I just use a Morley AFX-1 Analog Multi Effects for all my gigs. I'm too lazy to hook pedals up at home. I also use a Morley ABY pedal in order to switch between 2 guitars and a Peterson StobosStomp Mini for tuning.

Welcome back. Sorry to hear about your dad.

I was in a band for about 10 years called Eclipse. Would have been cool to get a gig that day if we were still a band. 😎 Now there's another local band with that name and they are pretty much a Journey cover band.

Yeah. I didn't think it was real either. The US might not have been PC in 1964, but it was pretty sexually repressed .

Whenever I played with my full band, it was a bout a 50/50 chance I'd cross the Key Bridge to get to my gig. That will no longer be an option. When I play with my buddy Steve, there's about a 50/50 chance I drive over another iconic bridge in Maryland, The Chesapeake Bay Bridge. That was the case tonight. The bridge was backed up with beach traffic tonight, so it took me about an hour and a half to get there. I couldn't help but looking over the water to see if any huge ships were crossing under. There weren't any. 😬 Once I got there, it was a pretty routine gig. Nice crowd. We played well. Nothing too memorable, other than the sort of ominous feeling upon approaching the Bay Bridge after witnessing the footage of the Key Bridge collapse. Kinda like the way airplanes appeared ominous for the first few weeks after 9/11. The drive home was much quicker with little traffic. Here is an older photo of the Bay Bridge taken from the spot of another gig a few years ago.

Actually the Egyptian pyramids were built by a skilled working class and they were compensated. The race bating I hear is coming from other circles trying to tie the accident to DEI .

This. If we wait for the insurance claims to be worked out, it will sit there for 3 years.

Now I'm waiting for the conspiracy theories to start. 🙄

The bridge is part of I-695 Beltway which circles Baltimore. I could get on at Exit 1, cross the Key Bridge and if I didn't get off, be back where I started in 1-2 hours depending on traffic. My gig commutes are gonna get worse, I know that. For about all my band gigs, I would either go 695 East or West. East will no longer be an option for a long time.

I took this photo of the Key Bridge on March 10 from Ft Smallwood Park. The National Anthem was written at about that spot.

Jesus! They are searching for 7 people. I live less than 10 minutes from the Key Bridge and cross it several times a month.

These guys were a popular band around Baltimore/DC back in the 80s. Local radio used to play their songs. This video was actually one of the first videos played when MTV came on. It was shot on The Block, which is the name for the seedy area of Baltimore Street full of strip clubs and prostitution. 😎

I took it to mean, videos that were so bad, they're good. Or maybe so bad, they're just bad. Like this

It was pretty easy for me to hear Derek Trucks .

More than 50 of the world’s finest guitar heroes have joined forces for the track, which has been recorded to raise funds for teenage cancer charities. The star-studded list of contributors includes Eric Clapton, Joe Bonamassa, Tony Iommi, Peter Frampton, Pete Townshend, Susan Tedeschi, Steve Vai, Sheryl Crow, Slash, Joan Jett, Bruce Springsteen, Keith Urban, Ronnie Wood and Steve Lukather, as well as many, many others. Can you pick out who's playing what?

An Irish man walked into a bar and ordered 3 Guinness beers. He drank all 3, paid and left. He continued to do this several times a week. One day the bartender asked why he didn't just order one, drink it, order another and so on. The man explained that he had 2 brothers, one lives in the US and the other in Australia and they have a tradition that whenever they have a beer, they also have one in honor of the other two. One day the man came in and ordered two Guinness. The bartender said "I'm sorry. I guess one of your brothers died?" the man said "No. I gave up beer for Lent".
