Location: Las Cruces, NM | Wow, Iron City I think was a good Pittsburg beer, that gets close to my home in Ohio on Lake Erie where Carling's Black Label (Canadian) was a good beer, as was Strohs before it was acquisitioned. They took all those beers that had character and threw them in a blender and had marketing piss on them in the hopes of miraculous Change to Coors (as Coors was thrown into the same blender in the hope of becoming Miller Lite). Thank God's brewers for Samual Adam's Boston Ale and beer, and surprisingly, Michelob's Black and Tan (cheap and good but make sure it's fresh cause a lot of people don't know about it), Pete's Wicked, and a multitude of small breweries that still believe beer should have some flavor.

In the 70's I worked with a guy who lived in Del Mar CA. Because of it's racetrack, it was a hangout of many celebreties, including J Edgar Hoover and Hollywood's finest. They had a bar there called The Pub, that had Watney's on tap, and Guinness, and any other British, Irish beer you could think of, and it had darts etc. all in all it was pretty authentic I think. We hung around there and it spoiled me against American beer, although it was served cold, but remember, most of the American west is searing desert, hot beer doesn't have the appeal that it might in a colder clime.
But back to the music, does anyone here know the words to that British drinking song that became the Star Spangled Banner, something Anacreon, we can do a verse of that and swing into the Anthem and everyone will go home with a good feeling about camaraderie and shared experience.

Location: SoCal | As a last note on my pickguard situation, I'm waiting for an OEM pickguard from Ovation which should be here in the next couple of days.
Somebody was kind enough to send me a replacement pickguard, but after playing with it, I realized that the controls were placed differently on it and the only way to make it work would have been to route out the body. However I am still grateful to that person for their help.
Anyway, I should be up and running again, annoying the hell out of my neighbors with bad loud music, in the next couple of days.
Lesson: first, use a cable with a 90 degree plug and always tuck the cord up under where the strap buttons to the body. Second, don't do dumb stuff like step on your own cable. If you're gonna do that, step on the bass player's cable. |
