bluzhammer Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I just got home an hour ago from a 12 hour shift, turned on the computer, and started warming up the amp. I immediately jump to the forum here to see whats up. I tuned up and started into a little bit of " Living Loving Maid " and was promptly chastised. I politely explained that the sun was up and she should be also. Burning daylight, as John Wayne used to say. That's when it was explained to me that normal people wait until after 10 to start blasting eardrums. I replied that my neighbors know I work nights but have no hesitation running their mowers and weedeaters at 8 a.m., that's when I was informed that I have issues.

People do complain about the sweet sweet sound of a tube amp, but are happy letting mowers run early. I'll never get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FarnsBarns Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 My outlook is that if I play down to the volume I listen to a cd at then 8am to 11pm is within reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Mowers, weed eaters, leaf blowers... ALL should wait until 10 am. Not guitars. For the record, I have already played a mini-concert for my wife on my acoustic: Chevy Van Blackbird Heroes Crow and the Butterfly Toes and an original instrumental. I got up early to take the dogs out so she could sleep. She was up before I could get the coffee made. Said she missed me. Does that mean SHE has issues???

LarryUK Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Had she come out of the kitchen to hear it? Surely it wasn't that loud she could hear it over the washer and vacuum? Tut Tut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahKeen Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Often I play from 10-11 pm when my son is in bed, smack right next room. It used to bother him. Now he says it doesn't, and that it gives the house an "alive" feel. I think he has issues, and me too for causing that idea that late at night for him...

BigKahune Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I missed the reference.... Refers to a play/movie (probably way before your time) where people have issues with a pool hall in River City. I gotta remember not to refer to things before 1990, like The Music Man (originally on Broadway in 1957, with revivals in 1980 and 2000). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Trouble with a capital 'T' And that rhymes with 'P' and that stands for pool!" I still remember that song from when I played in my high school pit band for that musical.

Sounds to me like the missus wanted to be awaken for some luvvin'... just saying. Although, that might be a bit loud for the neighbors as well.

Shnate McDuanus Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Damn people and their lifestyles! Wouldn't everything be so much better if the whole world ran according to your schedule? Actually, I do find it disturbing that there's a double-standard where it's not OK to play loud music early in the morning, even though it's perfectly acceptable to run loud lawnmovers, leafblowers, weedwhackers etc., early in the morning. I guess it's because yard work is seen as a "necessary evil," and loud music is a recreational activity. Little do they know that, for some of us, loud music is a necessity.

I was totally on your side until you said this. If you're playing "Living Loving Maid" with power chords I'd give you an ear full, too. If you're gonna blast the morning air, at least get the riff right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Heck, I'm so old that I used to be awakened by the howls of the protoceratops grazing outside soon after sunrise. <grin> Seriously I guess I never got into playing that loud until I'd at least had my first pot of coffee for the day. Yeah, I average 3 to 4. Anyway... All kidding aside, I haven't run anything loud enough in the house to wake folks since a period in the '60s when I'd play loudly in my basement apartment only when the folks who owned the place and lived upstairs were gone. Didn't have a wife in that bit of time, nor "stayovers." I just never cared to play that loudly at sunrise. That's when you want an acoustic on the porch for some sunshine music. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbreslauer Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Nice music man reference! This musical also contains "til there was you" as covered by the Beatles very early on. Young Shirley Jones as seen in the movie was hot. :) Now I have issues... Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool, I'm now marooned back in the Data Center until 6 a. m., wishing I was at home blasting through some power chording. I actually like to throw the windows open this time of year and blow the ducks off the shoreline behind the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
