This was the one and only time I was able to see AC/DCâ live at the Jam Productions, Ltd Allstate Arena. Back in Black was the first album to make my 6 year old ears say âWTF is this and where can I get more!!?â âThat soundâ has been stuck in my head since. Leading up to this show, I had seen a few A-list rock bands that were touring âone last timeâ and was a bit let down... AC/DC did NOT disappoint! It was everything I was hoping to see and hear. A massive stage with a smoking locomotive, Angus leaping (not a high as he used to but it still counted), tone and fire in their bellies. Another desert island concert experience with a check mark next to it.
I find that when Iâm in âcreative modeâ (designing, making music etc.), clutter or lack of structure, always helps the juices flow. I gravitate towards keeping my surroundings in a state of flux. No âorderâ to keep my mind in lock step. The mad scientist! Conversely, my bench MUST be immaculate and perfectly ordered. With my head buried in a circuit, muscle memory alone must guide my hand to the tool required. Understanding how my mind works in these different states (for better or worse) is the key to both my happiness and productivity.
Tim with Albert Collins LEGENDARY Telecaster
#TBT A VERY young (and slightly embarrassing looking) Tim Schroeder posing with one of the most famous Fender Telecasters of all time, while owned by the late and great Albert Collins. This was snapped during the early 90âs when I worked for Gary Brawer in San Francisco. Also shown are the 1st and 21st frets pulled from the guitar during a fret job. If these frets could only talkâŚâ
