Took 18 -16 to open jam . I picked up my project amp it is done.
I have not gone to well 18 my boy and I have not been to open jam maybe three years so we all went last evening. Sixteen is so shy painfully shy except around us although she was very shy and quiet at first after she started jamming with us after I went in to jam last thanksgiving day before vacation with 18 guitar class.
It’s a nice get together Liz loved to go and listen to her baby boy jam she would just smile and glow watching her baby boy play. I’ve been taking him since he was eleven oh he was so shy as well then. Within a few months he was playing up on stage when they would have stage venue or we just all would sit around and jam.
It’s good time never really to many people attend it’s very fluid in who shows up as we all have other obligations like full time jobs. It’s no booze and bring a covered dish we took my wife’s crab dip last night.
And 16 from now on wants to go back I told her the guy Curtis you were jamming with is one of the best jazz guitarists I’ve ever met you’ll take it all in through osmosis and Kate another player is fantastic delta blues gone electric. Curtis could be a professional guitarist yet sadly as of now he’s a manager of local grocery store. I tell Curt you’re like a Jamaican Django with dread locks 😉 you could be professional.
Sixteen she makes us smile she’s been a bright light a blessing to us especially 19-18 and i. And she is getting tough as in she will give any shit straight back that the boys give her in joking of late is 16 had been sitting with a boy regularly at lunch yea we give her bit static.
So years ago I bought this peavey twin combo 18 watt only reason I bought it was the 2-12 green backs. And I’ll be the first to admit peavey amps get little or no love at all , so I asked my amp building friend his full time job he’s an Electrical engineer.
To give me his magic give me amp with 6v6 the El-84 got to go I need headroom and it’s hard with the 1 to 5 watt Marshall’s we use for home. His version of wired board and now I have 20 watt with power attenuator to go 10 watts also.
Last night 16 took her black star twin we bought used and I just took 2 pedals to tweak on new amp he was bringing Zendrive and a Carl Martin headroom pedal and my friend brought along his version of his blues breaker pedal he builds with my amp.
So I paired them together in chain of three I like it and yes I’ll also take your version of blues breaker pedal on credit because I only have $26 in my pocket at moment you know where I live.
So in closing it was great time the boys are working at grocery store with 16 who just got her first paying job at the local grocery with the boys they pick her up she only has permit. I told them here’s my Visa card bring home a fresh turkey breast you know what make it two hot turkey sandwiches tonight.
= new reply since forum marked as read
A good time was had by all!
It's good to hear that 16 has found some friends to help her become herself while around others. And it's thrilling to hear how the boys are progressing in their music endeavors. They have a good dad.
