Bump for us now caring less about COVID.

April/May? Specifically thinking about Bruce cos he's a good bastard, and Tez/Keon because I want to do a Mesa family comparison.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Who has a diesel generator?

The Bishop strikes me as a black-grey burst PRS with gold hardware type of guy. And a stack of Mesa Boogie Rectos that aren't actually plugged in.
All of it paid for by others so the Eftpostle could be blessed with it.

Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Which evolves into an Em blues jam which, after 120 bars, regresses back into more beer.
