Happy birthday to you, Jeff!

I started a GoFundMe for myself. I almost called it, "Help Me Not Join ICE", but there is absolutely no risk of me joining ICE. I'm just like them, except I don't hate immigrants, non-Caucasians, or women. I do hate & rage -- at pedophiles, predators, human traffickers, drug lords, organized crime, scammers and grifters. https://www.gofundme.com/f/nxzsm-help-peter-get-back-on-his-feet/cl/o?utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash&utm_content=amp17_tc&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_UShttps://www.gofundme.com/f/nxzsm-help-peter-get-back-on-his-feet/cl/o?utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash&utm_content=amp17_tc&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_UShttps://www.gofundme.com/f/nxzsm-help-peter-get-back-on-his-feet/cl/o?utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash&utm_content=amp17_tc&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_US&attribution_id=sl%3A5974c743-384d-4b16-bc0e-0f1a102d6f3d&ts=1770472529 Here is the Facebook post, if anyone cares to like/boost visibility/share there: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1E1YCwS6ar/ I realize the last time y'all gave me money may have left a bad taste in many of y'all's mouths, but any spreading of the word would be appreciated. Even a small amount ($13?) would help lend credibility, when strangers later see this.

Looks like they are Canadian, québecoises. I searched it because the guitar fretboard seemed weird, too many frets. It’s microtonal, but probably not all the range.

Only a couple of Frenchpersons would even try this, let alone pull it off.

Way late but I don't get 'round these parts as often as I should. Thank you for the kind wishes. It was a nice birthday.

Posted elsewhere but meant for @Hopstretch who might not go there

30 years since this album, Murder Ballads, came out. 🫣

Better yet... Single Power ES-1 board!! Seriously though, as fucked as the ES-1 and ES-2 were... there was less wrong with the actual circuit than this pile of fail. Let's put build quality aside, the permanent 100V offset, non floating heaters chewing up tubes and some other "minor" issues... they did produce enough volume for a normal listening session.

Continues to be the number one album to fry my brain in an attempt to think straight. The Lounge Lizards No Pain for Cakes. Ex.

wiring the filaments together for the output tubes causes all sorts of trouble. essentially a differential output amplifier with no differential cathode resistors resulting in what should be infinite gain, except not. current sources for the output tubes sure seem to be a 6ca7 with a dn2540 or similar as a cascode current source. first time i have seen a tube and solid state together as a current source. and the input tubes wired as differential amplifiers do not have anywhere near enough gain should a chassis like this show up, i'm absolutely sure i can make a megatronxl custom board fit. edit: this is the current source CCS Circuits | Tubelab

They were a favorite group of mine. The idea of three lead singers was interesting. It made their sound quite varied. They were also one of the first big groups to come to Anchorage. They did a tour of drive-in movie theaters. I couldn't afford a ticket at 11 years of age, but we sat outside of the drive-in and heard the concert as well as saw it.

Chuck Negron had a storied past for sure. He developed a bad heroine habit, was dropped from Three Dog Night, and became a junkie living on the streets for many years. Then he cleaned up and re-joined the group. Kind of amazing. R.I.P. Chuck.
