The Purple Room Is No More

[bovinehost]

Okay, the purple thing was fun at first. Then it began to get REALLY dark and it was terrifically easy to just not clean it, because I couldn't see the dust and stuff. So I've turned over a new leaf, along with installing a new AC and beginning to revamp everything that was on the walls.

During the painting session:

First thing to go up is a photo of BP and I at Open House, blown up to 8x10 and framed nicely. This one:

I think it's a nice way to start things off anew.

Cheers!

the not purple anymore,

That'll look great Jack. When it's time for a change, it's just time. I never noticed in other pics that you wear your bass that high - about the same place I like mine.

 

[bovinehost]

I don't really wear it that high. Sterling had just handed it to me and it had a strap attached, and I think he'd adjusted it to it's highest point because he knew I sort of played 'em high, generally.

I've lowered it substantially over the last few years.

Still a geek, though, just ask Sterling!

For the record, when I put it on, I nearly knocked my front teeth out.

Kinda hard to look cool after that, huh? But I'm sure you pulled it off - hell, you're being given a bass by Sterling Ball, along with some nice words, if I remember correctly from seeing the video clip at some point. Hard NOT to look cool, given those circumstances - front teeth or no.

Yeah, looking again, that is pretty darn high. Mine actually hangs a few inches below the belt-line. (I know it's too easy, but don't go there, for those of you who would).

Who's the fat guy with the beer? And what's he doing wearing one of BP's cool shirts?

With or without the beer, it's one of my absolute favorites. Hey, I FRAMED it and the wife said, "Sterling gets a nicer frame than the photo of me? Nice."

So I have to go buy some more frames.

[Kristopher]

So does the de-purpled room have a new name?

 

[bovinehost]

It has always been and shall always be The Scream Parlour.

(This is what my friend Fred and I used to call all studio control rooms, especially while conducting all-night mixdown sessions.)
