Band Practice Day - for this half-ass rhythm guitar player in a generic cover band in the middle of a cornfield(TM). First time in more than 10 months. No real goals other than to have some socially-distanced fun. I've been working 11+ hour days since the COVID/WFH shit hit and I'm burnt. I took what was only my second vacation day of the year Friday (I get five weeks). It's been a stretch... Now, I'm trying to re-learn the songs I should already know. I warned you... Half-Ass

I butcher more than commune with the rokk, but if you squint (and drink alcohol) you can recognize the song I Love the smell of nitrocellulose in the morning.

Right on man, sounds like you earned a fun day! 60 cycle hum = pure rock and roll, but I get that it bothers some people. Just get some practice rolling off the volume knob at the end of each song, and no one will notice the hum!

It's the only way to get that awesome speaker distortion.
