Coffee and listening to my boy 21 jam with Skynrd at the Fox theater.

[Dunc]

The usual old man dyslexic bad punctuation ramble warning.
On the front porch drinking coffee with Dunc the golden furry boy who is licking the wood post on the porch railing. I guess month old wood stain tastes great.
My boy twenty one is in the family room live at the Fox Theater.
In my mind as i listen to my boy i know exactly where he is at on the fretboard with every note. Up on stage with Albert and Gary and Ronnie.
Dude is using an 1 watt Marshall tube , one dumble clone pedal that pushes those humbuckers into sonic sweetness playing our Les Paul reborn a Tokai.
A guitar I bought in 85 off a fellow soldier who needed cash to go out drinking.
Yet as I sit here at age sixty. I’m smiling as i remember as a young kid perhaps twelve in age then figuring out this same album in my bedroom.
They just started playing searching and I’ll take this time to escape from the reality of our situation just for now.

The Charlie Daniel Band opened for them.

At 17, it was an eye-opening experience.

2. Sat Outside the Fox

Poor out-of-state college student. Pooled our money, bought a six pack and sat outside the Fox listening to the show what we could hear of it.

4. "play it pretty for 'lanta"

5. FREEBIRD!!!

[Dunc]

7. No he did not he actually stopped around T for Texas.

Reason he had to get his oil changed

[AZJonnie]

8. "What song is it y'all wanna hear?"

Is greeted by a reply of "Freebird" from the crowd on the old live album, as you probably know. And IIRC Ronnie says "play it pretty for Atlanta" at some point in the song as well.

So I was answering the question from the post I replied to

[gay texan]

9. I have it on cassette, album, and 8-track, LOL n/t

[Dunc]

[Dunc]

[Iggo]

12. Man, I wish I could play loud. Fourth of July's coming up, though! Time to uncork the 2x12.

[Dunc]

13. Crank it up Iggo.

For home use we find these 1-5 watts are perfect. At times well usually my son he will plug into this mini jubilee at times using 2/12 cabinet.
Yet for the 1 watt heads we use 1/12 cabinets with greenbacks.
Most of the gear and guitars are used purchased over the years.
These basically are the only two pedals I use bought them both used.
First the Nux compliments any single coil guitar.

Second the Ultra Phonix i find it goes well with humbuckers.

To me both pedals just give an added bonus I’ll sit and roll the guitars pots and find tones.
With the Nux it still gives my strat a ancient Greco Se-700 the snap yet warmth
And the Tokai les Paul reborn the ultra phonix the boost it gives the pickups is to my ears like a blanket.
And Iggo I bought both guitars off of a fellow soldier in my rifle platoon in 1985. The dude a fine soldier had an affinity in drinking West German beer and haunting the whorehouses down in Frankfurt.
His vices were my gain I say this out of humor , only if we lived close we could jam together.
The Greco I’ve recently dropped in a friend’s his passion is winding pickups.
And he gave me what he calls his 69 series single coils awesome pickups.
In this Welch Wg-59 it’s a Les clone I dropped his 59 P.A.F. and I ran into this guy other day at the gym and he told me he is trying out different windings for teles.
So he stopped around and picked up my Welch tele to work with different windings.
IGGO just an old guy ramble I’d talk all day on guitar gear and fishing.
Be safe friend in these times we live hopefully it ends soon.
Heading to the gym then the store making Manicotti today.
