I'd kinda forgotten about this, though I've shared it in the guitar thread before.

This band is with us no more, as the two principal members were a couple and Dan's retarded. Some of you will have heard this before, from the FNGT. (Reminder, tomorrow night is the guitar thread night and you still have time to record!)

Anyhow, this is about Dicky who bought himself a Cadillac. At the time, Caddies weren't really known as performance vehicles but were known as status symbols. A lot has changed since then. Today, a Caddy driven by the old man next to you accelerates at about the same rate as gravity.

This is also a good example of what I call 'bar music' or sometimes 'bar blues.' It will make the drunk people wiggle on the dance floor. There's no great philosophical statements made. It's just about Dicky who came into some money and bought a Cadillac. It's based on a true story.

Nope. Had you heard it before? I've shared it a couple of times in the guitar thread. It's kinda rednecky, which you might appreciate. It was even done in a real studio and with a real sorta sound engineer.

I got paid in room and board for coming up and recording on that album, and I got paid in beer. The band had been in MA, but relocated to Maine. I was still living in MA, and came up to do the studio work for two of their albums. I trundled my way back to Cambridge with a trunk full of beer, as I recall. I'm pretty sure my pockets were laden with 'Maine skunk' as well.

Does your mother have parental rights?

TheBuddha 5.5 years ago

Do you still also have parental rights?

I'm not sure how the system is there, thus my questions.

I'll also be a bit responding. The sun is out for a few minutes. Well, at the very least it isn't raining.

The "okay" was in relation to your not being able to discuss it.

zyklon_b 5.5 years ago

TheBuddha 5.5 years ago

I would be livid if someone stole my meds. I need those meds.

Granted, I get more than I need and I may have elected to share a few here and there (I'm not admitting a damned thing in public) but I'd still be livid.
