Some of us would prefer that it be located at the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge, Chuck. You devil!

Tad is a great player. I do not know who the other people are. Maybe Randy can help!!!

Here's a shot of Brother Joe, being his bad self from one of our recent gigs... Sorry, Joe, but I just couldn't resist. You's a bad mothe... (SHUT YO' MOUTH!)

By the way, I have not thought about shutting the board down. If some people leave, that's too bad, but it was their choice to join and it's their choice to leave. Forum boards are dynamic places that are constantly changing. Sometimes those changes don't mesh with people and they leave for awhile. Sometimes they come back, sometimes they don't. To those recently departed, thank you for your posts. Unless you were banned.

I was going to post something, but I think y'all worked it out. And it only took 8 pages. Congrats! B-)

For a few months that one keep creeping up on me as well. The Don Patterson version?

No problem, Chuck! Greg was not familair with the unspoken rules of this board. I was going to ask him to join and he did so before I gave him the warning....

Mike, go listen to "Distant Lover" and tell me his soul is light. Damn, that track makes me almost cry everytime I hear it. The man had soul as big as the planet.

I hope not. We're just playin'. Both Chuck and GregN are good people that have a lot in common, actually.

"Three coins in the fountain... HEY!"

Are we now 12? Aric, one more post about this and you're gone. You're lucky I haven't already banned you for threatening to kill soulstation in the other thread. That's really wise. Grow up. ss1, change the avatar, please. I don't need the headache. clem, stop talking about shit that you know nothing about.

I've been very lucky moving the big beast. I remember once, last winter, the guitarist in my r&b band didn't listen to me and tried to pick up one end while we were getting it into the van and the thing came down backwards. He was trying to stop it and I was yelling at him, "Get out of the way!" It's just an instrument! The damn thing could kill you! No damage done to either man or beast. I guess my worse would be related to stupid injuries. I was playing an outdoor, afternoon gig with my r&b band one fine summer day and then had to jet out of there and get to another gig with the trio over an hour away. So I'm loading up my rig really fast and for some reason I jam my thumb onto the corner of the Leslie and it pulls the nail back. OUCH! The thing bleeds like crazy. We get to the other gig, I had no time to stop for band-aids or anything (this is my left-hand... bass playing hand) and I start playing and my thumb is bleeding all over the bottom manual as I play bass! Hurt like hell, too. But I got through it and got a lot of compliments from the crowd!

Hey, Jazzkat... if you want an Organissimo record all your own, send a check or money order for $15 made out to me and we'll get you a signed copy! You'll dig it! It's nice to know the past, but we gotta support the future, dig?

I think this is the amp that Joe played through for a few gigs this summer on our Northern Michigan Tour. Do you recall, Joe??

Only if you don't purchase a copy of our next CD!!

Yes, you can. 125s are common. That's not a great price, but not bad. There are some others on eBay for $60 right now, but they are in Topeka, KS. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=7307021437 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=7307021890 With all of these Leslies, including the one you linked to, there is no top rotor, which is a big part of the sound. They just have a bottom rotor.

Don't worry about it, Chuck! Greg is good people.

Whoa, down Chuck!!! Greg is a good friend and our new manager! Welcome! I was going to suggest to you on the phone tonight to join up. Be on the lookout for a private message from me! B-)

Thanks! Can I ask where you heard us?

I just heard yesterday that it's a drum machine on the title track of "What's Going On". Is that true? I mean, I know there is real percussion on there, including Marvin hitting a cardboard box, but a drum machine?

They should get Organissimo!!!!

The Heat are playing like a team possessed. Detroit is coasting. They better wise up soon! So ss1, are you now a full-blown Heat fan, having dropped the sorry-ass Lakers?
