Probably played this one too, but it's what's on now...spin it again.

Another song by JJ Cale that Eric Clapton played frequently. BTW JJ's wife plays in the band. Leon Russel in the background on piano. Eric Clapton, JJ Cale, Derek Trucks, Doyle Bramhall II - Cocaine A live version of Cocaine was one of the couple songs I listened to on the way to play high school football games (1988) in my 64 1/2 Mustang. I guess I'm grateful the song alone was enough to get me pumped up to play. AC/DC was another one to get me in the right frame of mind. The version I played is a little heavier:

Man, I forgot this one. What a banger, adding to playlist. Thanks!

Great batch, Russ. Of course, the crazy/Laguna lace is beautiful and you got a heck of a shine on the Lavic, but I love the rhyolite. The winner has to be anything self collected, though. Thanks for sharing your pics!

Grant! I love it. Been looking for another place to stash away more tumbles. This is a great idea!

Very nice. I could understand keeping it as a specimen but it being thin and fractured.... I think I'd be tempted to make doublets from it. Okay...newbie question time. I've seen doublets mentioned a couple times in different threads, but no explanation of what it is. Do you mind letting me know what it is and how it works? I am but a simple tumbler, I know enough to be dangerous. In simplest terms (my understanding), you are using a backing material, behind your desirable stone. I will let the folks with actual knowledge fill in the blanks and tell me if I'm wrong.

stephan , that is a beautiful slab. The white on red is striking. I'm sure you can make a beautiful display out of it. NRG , you're like me...can't see squat in these rocks that other people see. No imagination, I guess. I was finally so excited to see the perfect star that others saw in the rock below. I felt normal. I mean, I never see the images others see. Hahahaha, full disclosure, this one's been played before.

I've circled back to look at this several times and I can't add much that hasn't been said. Just, color me impressed. I guess you're off to join the legion of wire wizards here. Go ahead and work your beautiful magic, we'll be watching.

It should be viewable now, Grant. My privacy setting had it blocked. Yup, perfect now. Randy - what macro lens are you using? I have an E-mount and am considering getting a Carl Zeiss macro lens but man, $$ Grant, I am in the Canon line, though I love Nikon also. My macro lens is a Canon EF100mm f2.8 Macro USM. It goes on my Canon EOS 60D DSLR. The multiplying factor due to the sensor size on this camera, in essence, makes this a 160mm lens (don't ask). I did the research and decided on this, instead of the L series with similar specs. I have a few L series and love them, but the comparison reviews and data didn't warrant $700 more for this specific need. I love this lens for what I need it to do.

I guess you're off to a 'rocking start'.
ETA: If you're already lurking, a word here or there shouldn't hurt (timewise, I mean).

Sweet tumbles, Grant. Love the photos, too. I'm always going to be a sucker for Bots and Bahias, but I really dig those Condor agates also.

Garage Rocker - I checked a few photos, but none of the EXIF info is available that I can see It should be viewable now, Grant. My privacy setting had it blocked.
