I really hope I will be able to play Bonnie or dance and sing at that age, or simple ....can still be me!

And Brother Mike who's Wife was Decaptivated! I am disappointed about the bass but if I am well informed John could have been playing that on an old Fender! Paul TBO The man singing is 90 (ninety) for crying out loud! Love that man! lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 2321 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Sunday, April 22, 2007 - 9:51 am:    That was great! Reminds me of an old Harry Nilsson song "I'd Rather Be Dead" recorded with a senior citizen chorus. Here's a link to a youtube video on the making. The song starts at about 6:30 in. Old people rock!

He started the recording session for My Generation on a Danelectro, and broke it. He then went out and bought three basses just to be on the safe side. The final cut was done on a Precision. Now here's the rub: legend has it that the earlier solos were a lot more elaborate than the one we all know and love. flaxattack Senior Member Username: flaxattack Post Number: 1532 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 - 6:54 am:    here is a link to an article about them http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/6698221.stm jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 1182 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 - 6:58 am:    "hope I die before I get Alzheimers" ;-) elwoodblue Intermediate Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 135 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 - 12:46 pm:    on the BBC site under march 2005 there was this pic...can anyone recognize the bass he's playing? thanks elwoodblue Intermediate Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 136 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 - 2:15 pm:    ahhh...that's the fenderbird...I see , for miles... jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 1183 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Thursday, May 31, 2007 - 12:44 am:    Not quite. It's the Jazz 'axe' bass that he played in the movie 'Tommy' Although it had received a new neck with bound headstock by 1971... graeme (Message edited by jacko on May 31, 2007) elwoodblue Intermediate Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 137 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, May 31, 2007 - 6:19 am:    thanks jacko...I feel so green ...again cheers
