[Vinsanitizer]

No politics, just enjoy the season if you will.

Laugh while you still can. You don't really think those aliens accepted defeat, right...?

I got told off by the mods for posting something similar on the applicable day...

Truth be told, I'm a proud Brit, and I wish my American brethren all the best. We make better amps IMHO, you make better guitars. Together we can rock!

 

[Don O]

Yea, we’re ok with this kind of humor. I didn’t notice your tele before

While we have Fender and Gibson, the Poles make some fine guitars with Mayones.

Bicentennial Train dad got for me in1976. Dad & I are going to catch Big Boy passing through central PA July 7

Bunch of Teles, Strat, LP, Hummingbird... but I have a Red Special to make up for it! To be honest, I love Fender amps, too, but my desert island amp would likely be an AC15 or AC30.

The 4014 spent 52 years as yard art at the Pomona fairgrounds before being acquired by Union Pacific in 2013 and then restored. Quite the beast !
Take videos !

This year marks four hundred years of Beverly getting it's independence from Salem. The city has some stuff planned for the summer. I'm just glad to be close enough to the cold North Atlantic to enjoy a cool ocean breeze most of the time.

Going to go see the tall ships in Boston Harbor on July 11.

That band has been through it. Great song.

I'm pulling for your guy Rupert Lowe, Restore Britain.
I went through most of that Rape report, so savage and sad.

 

[PelliX]

I don't want to delve into politics here, really, but let me state that I fully understand where you're coming from and that I concur in that the report makes for some very unpleasant reading.

My Gma had a great house in Mississippi with a water tower and tracks in her easement. We used to run out there at 5yrs old and put pennies on the rail.Then we would climb the water tower. I was born in New Orleans

I want to bring this up to the mountains this weekend and play Hendrix version of the Anthem

 

[PelliX]

You need to hear JA Allens' rendition. Absolutely love it. It's in the old covers thread over at MF. He turned it into a dirge.

I'm not really that great a guitar player, but for years I've thought it would be a blast to learn to play it Jimmy style. Stick my 20w Traynor in a window like a window AC unit and serenade the neighborhood. So...... my suggestion is.... Go for it!!!!!

 

[PelliX]

God Save The Queen is rather boring musically (oops, -1 patriot point, damn), but the Dutch national anthem can be rocked up...

So...... how many here are old enough to remember when we celebrated 200 years. Glancing thru the ages of some folk in TTR, some of you weren't born yet and others were maybe 10ish. As for me. I was 4 years removed from high school. Dating my eventual wife. Got on board with several other guys in town and grew a beard. Hated it. If memory serves, I may have shaved it off, just keeping the mustache, on July 5th.
