Looks real good to me.
Thanks WM! The roll looked really good. One of those days.
I wore my Keydge and a Makers OCBD for the second day in a row (college things happened). I wouldn't recommend the lifestyle, but if you find yourself in that situation, you could do a lot worse than a Makers and a Keydge.
If I zoom in I can actually see what brand of camera you're using
great shot Worried Man, spin that Buck Owens one time for me!
Agreed great picture WM, sorry to hear about the tinnitus mate.
get well soon WM and Oxonian! still, you both look marvelous ......
What's the amp, WM?
Sorry about the tinnitus - I've had it for years, but it comes and goes - back at the moment for the first time in yonks. I used to blame all the drummers I shared rehearsal space with and their damn cymbals, but having being a guinea pig for a study into it, apparently, it may be case that we all have it, it's just that only some of us get to hear it.

Nice chukkas.
And regarding the tinnitus: Thanks for the concern. I know plenty of people that also have it. It's VERY common among musicians. I've been reading about it, and after reading some of the audible symptoms others experience, I feel very lucky that mine is just a faint tone. It's really only audible when I'm lying in bed in the still of the night trying to sleep. That's annoying because that's the time that you just want to clear your mind and drift off to sleep; it was really keeping me up nights. But some people hear screaching or loud hissing or even percussive, pulsing clicks. It manifests in many different audible forms. I can see how that could drive one to madness. So as long as mine doesn't get worse, I should be just fine. It's a fairly small price to pay for enjoying years and years of punishing music. I've been wearing professional musicians earplugs for nearly 15 years now, so I suspect the damage that is rearing its head now is a result of the abuse my ears suffered during my raucous teens when all amps were never on anything below 11 (and probably aging too). But, I digress and just tell all you youngsters to protect your hearing and don't blast your ears out with those darn "ear buds" you like to pump your One Direction through.
Sonofstan, the amp is a Voice of Music model 1448 (VM-1448)
I love that shirt too, Ox. Whole outfit is very fine indeed. I can say the same for Patrick. It dropped below freezing here this morning. I haven't been out of the house yet, but I'm about to venture out. I'll need to peek my head out just to see how it feels.
Whoa whoa. I hope you aren't charging for that medical expertise.
I've had a quiet bleepy hiss for at least ten years. The good news is you can learn to sort of ignore it. My hearing loss has progressed over the years, but the tinnitus hasn't gotten any worse since I started protecting my ears.
