Tone it down!!!

How many times have you heard that phrase when some "older" person thought your band was too loud?

I didn't hear that.  Could you tone it up some?

More times than I count (I can count pretty high, too, at least to "11". I once had an amp that went that high. I sold it to some British guy).
 
I wonder as well, how is it, that at every wedding, somebody arranges to have all the elderly guests sit approximately 3 feet away from where the band is playing? Who is that somebody? How is he hired at every wedding function to arrange this? How does he get from one wedding to every other wedding so fast to do this? Does he use a transporter? A sled? A Tesla? How could he possibly know so many people to be hired as he is? Or does he simply hack into the data base of every catering hall in the continental USA? Is he Russian? And will this have an effect on the way the next presidential election turns out? Does it matter?

 
Is the band being fed?

“Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy” is attributed to Benjamin Franklin perhaps in error, but the thought remains a worthy sentiment nonetheless.

I used to have one as well.  Nice juicy tones from this monster!
 

 

A blurry close up.
 
I used to have a girlfriend that would go to 11 as well.  Too bad I was always getting home at midnight...

I was reading about Rodney Dangerfield yesterday (took some random link after reading about Gene Wilder).  That inspired some self-deprecation today.

"My wife screams during sex. Every time I walk in on her."
 
I do miss Rodney.


All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

"My wife likes to talk during sex.  Just yesterday she called me from a motel room."
 
Yep, me too.

The only people that have ever asked me to turn down were sound men in $hit hole clubs ...
I would always tell them sure , I will turn my amp down as soon as I plug the amp into the wall socket and turn it on .
Then I would plug it in , dime it and ask them ...Hows this ? is this any better ?
 
Rodney was in a class all his own he was easy to spot because he used to drive around NYC all the time in a red convertible 
 
I was working at Colony Records in NYC back in the day and he came in one night and asked me about how his record Rapping Rodney was doing ...
It was kinda a strange thing to be standing there talking with him while he stood there right next to the life sized cardboard cut out of himself holding the boom box

One of the more annoying phrases the squares came up with.

Tone ... for "loud"?
 
I thought I didn't know music!

Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!
