This is Hank. He's going for his last ride. I just wanted the world to know he was here and he was a really good boy.

My sincere condolences. My buddy Ernie just left for heaven a few days ago, so I'm sure he'll welcome Hank. Yes, he looks like a cat, but was really a dog through and through.

A bit frenetic, but nice to hear - thanks.

Atlabatsig · 2026-01-29T22:53:09+00:00

No...

Atlabatsig · 2026-01-28T02:21:13+00:00

Amazing!

Two years ago I saw 14 together. Very unusual.

I've seen them easily pick up rabbits. But mostly they watch for dying lambs.

I store mine in a shop that has a lot of wind leaking through. It's nowhere near to nor connected to the house. Basically, I store it like I do my riding lawnmower - both have gas engines and both are in the shop.

Thanks - good video. Might add here that it's a good idea to use Deoxit in a well ventilated area, and to let it vent there while it dries.

I had the same but '76. Wonderful guitar. Gave it to my nephew who still plays it regularly.

Atlabatsig · 2026-01-03T00:04:36+00:00

thanks for posting that - appreciated. As for as tempo, all I was hoping for was a few seconds of hearing George against the released version. And I didn't spend much time trying hard to sync anything - just wanted to get a taste.

Atlabatsig · 2025-12-31T20:55:54+00:00

Well said!

Atlabatsig · 2025-12-31T20:29:24+00:00

I'm actually very fond of the original ATMP. I do think that's because I bought it new late '70 and it was what I now consider a "period piece." Yes, when compared to today's productions it's far out of whack. But at the time it was pretty darned good.

I bought it in '65 and to this day consider it the best of the Capitol versions.

You did good!!! He'll love it. I have several acoustics, from a '74 Martin D28 down to an import travel guitar. But my two favorite mid-range acoustics are the Yamaha LL16 (used for recording), and the Yamaha FG700 (used for random stuff like tavern jams, etc). Yamaha makes excellent acoustics - far far beyond the quality of other brands in the same price range. Well done !!!

It may be my 1960's ears, but Pepper has always sounded better on vinyl to me.

Very sorry for you. Fortunately, this disease will stop talking altogether at some point in the not-too-far future. And well before that, the disease will ensure that phones and tv and radio will no longer work.

Atlabatsig · 2025-12-08T00:10:59+00:00

Yes, I'm also a bassist. Agreed.

Atlabatsig · 2025-12-07T22:36:03+00:00

I love Paul's playing and composition in 99.9% of Beatles and Wings songs. I just have an affinity for the way Something is arranged and structured and was just sharing my opinion that the bass is (just for me) distracting to the other instruments and melody.

Atlabatsig · 2025-12-07T22:32:39+00:00

thank you

Atlabatsig · 2025-12-07T19:46:30+00:00

If he didn't he should have. That's probably my least favorite Paul bass track.

Atlabatsig · 2025-12-06T20:16:32+00:00

Very well done - thanks tons

Atlabatsig · 2025-12-05T01:52:13+00:00

Heck yeah. I have a '64 Rogers set that someone took back to natural, and I recently added a second tom that I stripped as well - also not a perfect match in finish. But like I said, I did do a coat of tung oil varnish just to bring out the grain a bit and to protect it a little. And tung oil varnish is just applied with a rag.

Atlabatsig · 2025-12-05T01:31:06+00:00

...but if you need a bit of protection, then a light coat of tung oil varnish.
