When I was 14, my brother (10 years older) and his hot girlfriend carried me to see Loverboy. I hear one of their songs today, and can go back in my mind to a simpler time of Rock and Roll!

Not a live music fan but way back when a girlfriend dragged me along to a Bette Midler concert and I think Katy Sagal was one of the backup singers....the Harlettes.

thanks man. I've finally decided I'm gonna buy the cheap affinity tele from squier but put a dimarzio chopper t or hot rails in the bridge. Should be a blues/indie/classic rock machine!

Just curious, is that the Eurythmics Dave Whatshisname in your avatar?

Edit: Or, are you the Eurythmics Dave Whatshisname?

Y'know it's been so long I'm not positive.

Cheap Trick opening for Foghat, I think.

Could've been Sammy Hagar opening for Aerosmith.

Both opening acts played better than the headliner.

Foghat was also the first and only time I got stoned,

Never touched a J, just breathed the air, man! :)

..Di makes nice pups....I'm gonna build a tele-style axe in my woodshop after I retire... shouldn't be too difficult,and I have some killer flamed and quilted maple in my rack, but I'll get a Stew-Mac or Warmouth neck... I have a couple friends who wind pups, so I'll get customs for in it... prolly something a lil milder than usual, but definately single coil....

Mine was the last Grateful Dead tour before Jerry died.  I was 13, sitting next to my buddy and his dad and step-mom.  They were decidedly NOT hippies, and I was sort of uncomfortable all night surrounded by people smoking joints and sitting in a cloud of pot smoke (it was at a basketball stadium, so giant stadium filling haze!) but sitting next to my oldest friend's parents who were friends with mine (who most definitely did NOT approve of smoking pot!).

    • Wordle 1,047 5/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Mis-read that par putt 🤬
    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
