Wonderful choice my new band of really seasoned musicians make our debut tonight with 30 Beatles songs and 20 Tom Petty songs. We are calling ourselves BlackByrd and I'm left handed and play a hofner violin style bass. Guess who is my musical hero?

I think our best cover is

Talking a walk down nostalgia lane and found a Spotify playlist of all the songs from every Big Shiny Tunes Album.  All kinds of 90's alternative, rock and pop. These albums were compilations put together by the Canadian music tv station MuchMusic, similar to MTV in the US.

That's awesome Shay your Hofner playing lefty. I think it looks cool on stage, when one of the guitar players is a lefty. It creates a certain stage presence. It turns out I'm also a left handed guitar player, and yes Paul was one of my hero''s growing up, same with Jimi Hendrix....I have a few custom made left handed Carvin basses I use that are strung with lowest string on the bottom (right handed inverted style), a picture of one of them posted in my blog....

 

Go lefties and have fun with your new band :)

Cyndee...sounds like we need to jam. If we can find another lefty on guitar we can call ourselves Mirror Image.

I have a '72 Strat, a Telecaster and Les Paul.

I have been in bands for as long as I can remember ro keep my chops up. I also because of the Beatles I write and record my own material and actually had some regional success and was part of a documentary that received an emmy nomination. Do you record?

@Shay - Those guitars sound absolutely wonderful, and your invitation to jam is well received. I'll shoot you a pm....

 

Not to derail this thread talking about myself, I have Aja going in my headphones at the moment, always liked the bass line in this tune, and was a favorite to play along with....It's just soooo groovy....

Loved Steely Dan from the moment I heard their first release - Do It Again..... saw them at the University of Toledo in 1972 when they had just released their second album...Countdown to Ecstacy....paid $2.50 (ah those were the days)....

 

Here is an amazing Steely Dan song ... ah heck ... couldn't make up my mind which one to choose

This is my favorite axe. Built by Ken Lawrence who is the luthier who has built most of the Explorer body guitars  for James Hetfield. Check out YouTube Metallica: James' New Guitar from the Garage Days for example of his work.

 A great song.  The sentiment in the opening lyrics is needed so much now.

      I'm sorry, I don't want to be overly pessimistic, but I think to an extent the truth is irrelevant here. There is an absolute torrent of transphobes-were-right-all-along stories emerging in the wake of the Cass Review, not to mention the WPATH Files. These are coming not only from the usual anti-trans suspects, but from reputable newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York Times. (David Brooks in the Times: "Hilary Cass is the kind of hero the world needs today.") And while I'm aware that both those outlets have been leaning anti-trans for a while, they now have the perfect excuse to let go the brakes.   Ultimately, all that's needed for governments to ban these treatments is enough public support, and I suspect that support may be rapidly growing. Since I work with trans kids, cis folks often bring up the topic with me when they have "concerns", and I have been amazed at the number of otherwise reasonable people who have latched on to classic anti-trans tropes like social contagion or the idea that trauma causes transness. Whereas in the past they were generally convinced quite easily by my obviously superior knowledge, I'm expecting the task of convincing them to get harder starting as of now.

      In those dimensions, not even Sophia Loren could hold a candle to me. A Goddess....in my own mind. lol

      So, just imagine how spectacularly beautiful you'd be in four-dimensions April.

      That does sound hard to keep up with.  I use patches, changed twice a week.  But I have to have my phone set to remind me.  I just don't think about it.
    • April Marie
      Oh, I am drop-dead gorgeous in a totally different dimension @Sally Stone! :-)

      Ladies, each of your comments makes me realize my decision to share my journey was a good one.  Before committing, I worried that my storyline wouldn't be of interest to anyone. I'm so glad I'm striking a chord with many of you.

      I am sorry to hear that. It just means something better is in your future!

      How we look in photographs isn't really anything we can control.  I've actually searched for answers and there are lots of good explanations out there like this one:   https://www.foxbackdrop.com/blogs/news/beautiful-photogenic-reasons-tricks-foxbackdrop#:~:text=Based on the light-creation,angular faces are usually photogenic.   The simplest explanation is a picture captures our image two-dimensionally when in real-life, we are seen three-dimensionally.  A person can be beautiful or handsome in real life but the two-dimensional image can be way different.  So, for those of us that don't think we look good in a picture, fear not.  We are much better looking in three-dimensions.

      This is your journey and no one here will judge you or bully you. This is a very accepting, non-judgemental place and you can process at your own speed. Having said all welcome Violet, we are glad you found us. I know we all look forward to hearing from you.

      Good morning    I should not have said about sleeping in, now I have to go in 2 ½ hours earlier.  Oh well at least I. Off tomorrow and Monday, I think.as of now, hope I didn’t just jinx that too.     Hot today high 80s dropping quickly and rain to the 60s for a couple of days then more normal 70s.  It just depends on which way the wind blows. Off the gulf, hotter, off the ocean, cooler, out of the north rain and when they all converge, look out.  That’s today.   i made a pot of coffee but I think most of it is going to waste.  My wife went back to bed and I’m not good with coffee when I’m hot, and I am. That’s my fault, I was 4 days.late with my E again.  I just st have a really hard time keeping on a 10 day schedule.  And my reminders aren’t helping..   now I’m going to peak by tomorrow since it isn’t all absorbed in one day, I’ll hold fairly steady but if I’m late again I’ll drop well below my target yet again.     Im down in the valley, the valley so low But I see my true love, at the top of the hill i climb the mountain, but she is not there for she has gone back down, to the valley below   I didn’t come up with a refrain and with that I’m calling the guys with the padded cells. lol   Willow

      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.
