Playing for a house band gives you lots of opportunities.

Really accomplished, not flashy, just tight licks

I’ve heard that he used a zippo lighter for the studio version of the opening slide riff on Soul Man

Condolences mang. It’s hard to watch people die this way.
Hope you can find some peace reasonably soon.

^^^So true. On all counts.

Elizabeth Cook, Chuck Mead and Aaron Lee Tasjan, some of Todd’s friends from East Nashville, remember the man

Just checked with my tire store (Discount Tire) without telling him I already ordered the DMV2’s. He tells me tire life will be comparable between the Blizzak DMV2’s and the Contact8’s. He also tells me he runs the Blizzaks himself and gets six seasons out of them on a Silverado and his wife’s...

What happened to TECH TALK JONG!

IOW, move this thread to Tech Talk, where you might get some good answers

Thi place has gone soft

and what Buzz sez

They are $60 more per tire, and have studs. Don’t need studs around here (very little ice on roads) and all studs do is tear up the roads...

Here’s something good but obscure from the 60s psychedelic sound in LA.


They became quite popular in the SoCal and Bay areas in mid-late 60s, but Arthur Lee, the frontman, made a series of disastrous decisions that led to obscurity.
He wouldn’t travel outside of...

Got seven seasons out of a set of Hakkapeliittas 8s on my Outback. Sadly can’t find these any more.
After a bunch of research, installing a set of Blizzak DMV2s this week.

nice piece on the Bird from NY Times

Sad to hear about Garland Jeffreys. I too was a fan, but he didn’t get a lot of airplay on the west coast.



thanks for posting this. Hadn’t heard them before. Nice mellow sound...

Just came across this in NY Times
Sofiane Sehili, who won Tour Divide in 2022 (among a host of others races), was on a record breaking pace for the Trans Eurasian route (18000 km from Lisbon to Vladivostok) when he landed in a Russian jail trying to enter Russia. Two hundred km from the finish…...

Fun fact - Hakkapelitta is Finnish for “Kill them All”

[TBS]

^^^Yup

Back on topic… IIRC the 75-76 season had a really slow start here in the PNW as well, and never really recovered.
Or maybe it was 74-75…
Anyway, one or both of those years sucked here

I have a pair of ‘22-23 SR 88s that I picked up for $400 from a local resort’s demo fleet. Use them on hard groom up to about 2” fresh. Disagree that the tip is soft, unless you are comparing to a full camber race ski - or a Jet Fuel. You gotta drive them from the front seat or they will spit...
