'Rock School'..ah, the '80s...

Never saw the show, I was working in Holland at the time, but I had a book they put out. It had some useful tips if I recall correctly. I will have to look for it next time I am in the loft.

I think this is going to be our #TBT facebook post

Don't know where I was... Don't remember this at all!

Started in November '83 according to Wiki.

I remember this program being shown on our local PBS station back around that time period. I recorded the episodes because I thought they were done quite well. It may seem dated and elementary today but at the time it was informative and entertaining. I probably still have them on VHS but I seem to recall missing one episode because the PBS station decided to show that one episode at a different time. And unfortunately they never replayed it.
 
I also recall one episode where they discussed amplification for reggae bass players, where you either use two amps or two channels, with one channel providing the note definition (i.e., using treble/mid) and the second signal flow being mostly the low-end sound range. Kind of like a sub-woofer. I always thought that would be worth experimenting with if I were a bass player.
 
(Nice mullet on the female host).

Ah... '83... I think I was "out" that year... Meaning, I hardly watched any TV at all as I was too busy with other things

Jeepers! I was 23... Never kept a diary so there's no way of remembering what on earth I was up to really
 
I know that, by that time, I was in a 2 year relationship with the lady I eventually married and am still married to now.
 
I'm trying to think what albums I'd have bought that year and I'm stumped... Who released what in '83?

I have a good memory, and it was 5 years before I got married Well, let's see, looking at the albums released that year I think I would have bought;
 
Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones
Robert Plant - Principle of Moments
Freur - Doot Doot
Ian Anderson - Walk Into Light
Bryan Adams - Cuts Like a Knife
Genesis - Genesis (The Mama album)
Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams
Robert Palmer - Pride
ZZ Top - Eliminator
Big Country - The Crossing
Level 42 - Standing in The Light
Japan - Oil on Canvas
Paul Young - No Parlez
SRV - Texas Flood
Peter Gabriel - Plays Live
Herbie Hancock - Future Shock
China Crisis - Working With Fire & Steel
The Fixx - Reach The Beach
 
Plus a few others I would have thought.

Separated from the Air Force in '83. Good times!
