Cutting Back:

[Inspector #20]

So now 7 days a week again? Hope music doesn't become a chore that exhausts you. When the fun stops, the band stops for me!

Well, I love the people in this band most of all. Every rehearsal is a pot luck. It's a genuine family.

A couple of the other bands I support are also just fabulous people. I think that is perhaps my greatest motivation.

I recently applied for a job at Fender Guitars. If I am blessed with that job (and I am hoping so) it would allow me to quit music as "a job" and just do it "for fun."

Yep...

Yep...

Nice and Good Luck! I got personal factory tour by the VP of manufacturing around 2000. It was quite the place back then. We spent a 1/2 hour in the Custom Shop BSing with the guys.

I've wanted to do it for a long time, but only recently applied.

Yeah, How can it be a band without the Dog or the Bad, whichever one Robert is.

Robert, is that Purple guitar a Schecter? I just ran across one on my local Facebook Marketplace last night. Never saw one like it before.

Sure is. Someone was gassing over one recently.

Things change when you get up in the morning.
I wish you guys all the best for a major change and move.

like this? Too Bad the guy wants $800 for this. That is like $300-$400 too much for me.

So i take it if you get that job at Fender not going to be moving to Texas?

We will likely still move eventually...

From yesterday's rehearsal. First time ever playing this song together...

 

[Inspector #20]

Yellow guitar didn't sound too bad in the live mix....

Just a quick pic of YelloStrat we took before we called it a night at the studio...

Doesn't look very yellow here....



Looks very Yellow in this image taken a few hours earlier...

I agree, but that's not how the bandleader wants us to sound...

I feel like this guy sometimes...

 

[Inspector #20]

Good luck on the job Robert!!

Thank you!!!!!
