2nd Pipes Magazine Forum Zoom Meet

[VDL_Piper]

Morning all, just thinking of having another Zoom catch up for willing participants (yes I enjoyed the last one). Looking for feed back on a suitable time for members, is it Saturday or Sunday, AM or PM for you Northern Hemisphere members, I'm thinking 4pm Saturday PNW time (9am Sunday, Australian) in a couple of weeks. Bear in mind that I am technologically challenged and setting this up is a brave new world for a retired grey whiskered farmer with fingers fatter than butchers sausages, so expect problems.

As long as the cocaine and prostitutes are free (or at least discounted), I'm in.

Well, yeah. VDL said it was his shout this time.

Generally speaking, I would be very interested, but Saturdays are tough for me because I enjoy watching the UFC fight broadcasts live whenever possible (avoiding reading spoiler news headlines for a day or two is a drag, but doable if necessary). I’ll pop in if I can, but the weekend of the 12th is a PPV event and we may have company.

 

[JoeW]

Saturdays are great for me. I'll be out of town the weekend of 4/12, but otherwise I'm usually around.

 

[ssjones]

I'll join in.

 

[Sig]

Well, I don't have a computer.
Yep, everything I type here is on my $50 cellphone. We got rid of the computer 8 years ago because we didn't use it much. When we moved to the cabin we live in now, there was no available internet or cell phone. We paid to have a phone line run to our house....that was a very expensive project. We still do not get cell reception, we have a landline.
But hey, no neighbors and no road noise living in the woods.
All this to say, I'd be in if my phone and slow internet will connect. It should, I do doctor appointments and video calls with my family with no issues.

 

[Servant King]

Hammond MK2?

Nope, classic B3/C3. A chop, actually...that was my touring rig for several years.

(In case anyone is reading this and thinking I've gone completely mad, you are correct, but that's beside the point! QS is referring to the background image when you hover over my screen name.)

 

[infectedpsyche]

I'm in! Usually free every Saturday but mornings would work best as that's usually family night or fellowship with guys from church. Regardless, I'll work free time in for whatever happens

I see the 12th getting tossed as a bad choice with already stated plans from others. It could also possibly exclude anyone with Passover Seder that evening. The following weekend is Easter so most likely a bad choice for maximum participation...

4/26 would be 100% clear for me, sun up to sun down. Not sure about everyone else here.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Yep, everything I type here is on my $50 cellphone.

All of my internet activity has always been on a phone. Never had a desire for PCs or laptops.

 

[tubbyninja1337]

I'd love to join if it's an open invitation. Unfortunately, I can't do the 12th either but the 26th at 4pm would work for me.

 

[bluegrassbrian]

Sunday probably easier for me, though Saturdays can work.
Morning or afternoon matters not to me.

 

[Servant King]

Sundays are my best bet. Translation: the best way to hold a Zoom chat and ensure I'm not there (which I'm assuming everyone's ideal scenario is) is to do it any day other than a Sunday.

p.s. I'm turning 40 in two weeks, so if I sound like I'm being extra codger-y...well, it's not me at all, it's just you, turning 40 won't change a thing.

I have moved way to many B3 and Leslie combos around over the years. lol

Therefore, I hope you have found pipe smoking to be an effective diversion from hernia discomfort...

 

[Servant King]

B3 for funk is certainly great, but I was way more into using mine as a pad, and getting that overdriven compression, the kind that one can only achieve in the studio. Every keyboardist has tried to capture it live, but it's just not possible--even a tube leslie on full overdrive just can't match the augmentation that a rack of vintage studio equipment and a skilled audio engineer can produce. Exhibit A:

p.s. Had the privilege of meeting Tony Kaye back in 2009. The resulting nerdy keyboard nerd-out chat is something I won't soon forget!

I was under the impression that was already built into the budget

Mac Baren/Sutliff panic-buying threw a monkey wrench into the budgeting. Right now, we're making the Federal Reserve's accounting staff look competent by comparison...
