Why is no one posting on here but you, and now, me?

Is it that TRFers know to stay away from you due to your winning ways?

Or are they afraid of you knowing they can't hold a candle to your excellence?

 

Alright Lorraine. You win and I apologize.

Aerosmith’s First Tour Van Found by ‘American Pickers’

 

Where do old tour vehicles go to die? In the case of the first van owned by Aerosmith, the answer proved to be a Massachusetts woodland. The 1964 International Harvester Metro, complete with the band name painted on the side, was featured in an August episode of ‘American Pickers,’ with hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz discovering the rusting hulk, then having its provenance confirmed by early band member Ray Tobano, via Joe Perry. Recalling that, before they found fame, Aerosmith would make $3 each from a $125 show fee, Tobano added that seeing the van “reminded me of the humble beginnings.” Wolfe and Fritz bought it for $25,000.

Rock Band Secures Tour Through ‘Fake’ Fanbase

 

As apparent rising-star rock band Threatin made their way across Europe on their first tour, venue operators saw a pattern emerging: no one was showing up to the gigs. This was despite assurances from the band’s agent that hundreds of tickets had been sold for each night, and evidence from their social media channels that tens of thousands of fans were on board with frontman Jered Threatin and his music. The tour collapsed when the hired-hand musicians realized that none of it – the record deal, the industry award, the business structure – was real. Threatin had staged the entire enterprise, and he wasn’t about to apologize. “What is Fake News?” he asked in the statement that turned his last bandmate against him. “I turned an empty room into an international headline. If you are reading this, you are part of the illusion.” Time will tell if it was a 21st-century stunt of Bowie proportions, or if Threatin’s 15 minutes are up.

Launched in 1978, the CompuRhythm CR-78 was Roland’s first drum machine that created and stored patterns. Even though it was meant as a rhythm accompaniment device for organs—hence the abundance of waltz and bossa nova patterns—it became fairly popular with established musicians, including Phil Collins who used it several years later on ‘In the Air Tonight’.

An instructional entry:

 

Setting the intonation of an electric guitar - or the long version of the beginning of Discovery. (Yes, I know that was an acoustic).

 

The segment is 22 minutes long but there is some good learnin' here about the methodology and its intricacies if you are so inclined.

 

From 35:20 to 57:20
