I still have those house-shaking speakers and amps from an old studio at home today. Sadly though, 3am sessions with Dark Side of the Moon are now a thing of the past... You can't be me, I'm taken
in hawaii, people five miles away would hear me practising. this blissful state of affairs lasted 10 years, then a pensioner couple bought the lot next door.
and i learned to develop a taste for soft jazz!
here in italy, i found out they can hear me in the valley about 2 miles away as the crow (and the soundwave) fly.
i was down in the bar there one day and this sweet little old lady mentioned that she heard me.
as sometimes i like to cut some loud (but not rude!) rock at 3 am, i was bracing myself for some critique, when i asked her if that was ok.
good neighbourly relations are important, especially as a 'straniero'.
she smiled and said she liked it because it kept her company....
awww
what a sweetheart!
next thing she'll be showing up at the 'free biker' bar, i expect.
