A few years ago we had a a bit of a laugh about the famous wooden balls that used to hang from Mick Fleetwood's belt in the 70ies, most famously on the cover of Roumors, one of the best selling albums of all times. So right after that I went and recorded this track:
[wl]57773[/wl]
So today I was reading that the famous appendices were sold at an auction, so it brought back the memories. Read here:

LOL - never thought that wooden spheres (the original post said "balls") could be that expensive... so 100k£, that's even more than what people paid for John McVie's fretless Alembic, see https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2022/12/07/john-mcvies-rumours-alembic-bass-sells-for-100000/
Never knew it was a fretless one when hearing the mentioned track, but that speaks for the player IMO:

But - speaking about bass, that one played by Dick in #57773 surely had some balls as well (I once joked about this with kimbo who said that in Reggae you'd need that as well) :)
Bravo for a good track my friends :)
