Registered: 05/23/10 Posts: 1718 Loc: New Zealand RichMac Expert Registered: 05/23/10 Posts: 1718 Loc: New Zealand	Companion piece to 'The Boat and the Bush'. Dad worked in the pine forest as a bulldozer driver. Discing firebreaks and forming logging tracks. His dad was a fisherman and so was he. He only just made ends meet with a large family but was apprehensive about leaving the security of steady work in the milltown for the gamble of long lining from a small boat. A neighbor brought this old hull but soon lost interest in it. Dad brought it for a few dollars. We worked on it for 2 or 3 years. Steaming ribs, punching in thousands of copper rivets, using old telephone poles for keel and beltings, caulking, sanding painting and scraping. Anyway, when the 'Cosma' was trucked to the coast the old man did real well and never looked back. This was about 1950. With photos. Sorry some are not very clear. http://youtu.be/ZYQ8IrCZAro and on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/tuigorge/boat-in-our-backyard Kept it simple RD - Nashville swing Bass - RT539 plus sampletank Fatbass Guitar - RT974, Western swing ( I love this realtrack ) Hope you enjoy - Comments and sugestions most welcome. Cheers. _________________________ https://soundcloud.com/tuigorge

She's a beauty! Makes me think I have to get to work on my old man's boat that's in our back yard - an old Drascombe Lugger. She needs a mainmast, mizzenmast, sails...... Thanks for posting that.

I wish my memory was as rich and nuanced as yours and that if it was I could write imagery like that. I just like everything about this. _________________________ Featured Song J&B Soundcloud J&B YouTube J&B Website

I think boats are like wives. They require a huge commitment but are absolutely wonderful. 'Cosma' kept working for about 20 years. DA thanks for that wonderful comment. ( i'm a bit bass crazy ) Janice and Bud. Thanks for the support and super comment! I'm so glad you enjoyed this one Floyd ( and Dad's old photos ) Thanks Guenter - I get so many forgotten memories floating up these days. Glad you enjoyed it. Hi Dani. Thanks for the listen and enjoying it. Thanks also for doing my request. Great! Keen to hear it. Thanks to all for making my day. Cheers. _________________________ https://soundcloud.com/tuigorge

Upgrading to Band-in-a-Box® 2020 is Easy!

Did you know... anyone who has owned a previous version of Band-in-a-Box® is entitle to upgrade pricing - you do not need to have your old version installed!

Maybe you used to own the Windows version, but you now have a Mac... that's not a problem either!
(or if you owned the Mac version, and now you have a Windows computer)

In both cases, you would purchase from the "Upgrade from 2018 or earlier or crossgrade" row here for a new Mac version, or here if you want the newest Windows version. Just need to upgrade your 2019 version? Use the "Upgrade from 2019/2020" row.

When you purchase your upgrade from either of these rows, you will receive a complete installation - just follow the steps of the setup, and your Band-in-a-Box® will be ready to use!

PG Music Inc. shopping cart accounts were not required to purchase from our website prior to October 29, 2014. With that in mind, you may have to create an account in order to upgrade - that's OK! You'll still be entitled to upgrade pricing.
