The blue pedal, Hawkeye, is a Fulltone Fulldrive(OD + boost). That's me playin' slide, because, as the studio owner/producer/bassist where I record says. "You sound really good as long as you don't use your fingers"! Videos on Mully's "Live Video" thread...Updown said:Which one is you :icon_jokercolor:
That guitar looks great
Ya need to make the rest of the band some now.

You look very much like one of my early mentors. I mean, you could almost be twins, although he was shaped more like Leslie West.
Fun guy. Always in the local news, although not usually in a Good Way. He did not suffer fools gladly, and was unafraid of bringing a Howitzer to a fistfight. We grew up in a dying neighborhood, where street fights were frequent and often based on little more than your looks. But, the decline was good for musicians, in a way. The various KofC, Eagles, and VFW halls didn't get a lot of bookings or use, so you could rent them cheap. Local bands could get one for $100/night, drop in a few kegs of cheap beer, charge $2 at the door and end up way ahead of the game while gaining notoriety. Theoretically, they'd get discovered and get rich. Think Bob Seger.
You had to know when to leave those hall parties, though, lest you end up in the pokey with the rest of the fools. This was the '70s, and psychedelic drugs were still as popular as they were in the '60s, and of course booze is always yummy on top of that. Makes for some real maniacs.

Gotta love them "parties" where two hours into it everyone's IQ has diminished by 67%...but not any more!!! Hey, Kevin, maybe I was that guy--considering the time period, I probably wouldn't remember if I was him, and also, I dropped 70lbs in Vietnam in '69. Once I got home I seem to vaguely recall dropping other things... :toothy12:

Nothing like abject terror, jungle warfare, freeze-dried foods and dysentery to melt the pounds off, eh? <grin>
I lost 70 pounds a few years back, due to pneumonia. Went from 210 to 140. Very nearly died. Scared the hell out of a few people. Made a helluva lotta money for the hospital, plus they got one of my lungs. I'd rather not do it again so when I see a pneumonia germ, I spit beer at it. It's not a waste of beer, because it's being used for good.

Hah! Being up for days in 110 degree weather while on Uncle Sam's Stimulants tended to melt a few things off, as well, and not all of it was pounds! And I realized many years ago that regardless of my best intentions, when I got together with beer, things always somehow went bad... :sign13:
