Any old Lineman for the Counties?

Did some digging today and I found some of old tools. Armstrong spud wrench but I can't find my Bashlin hooks, and I know I sold my belt years ago. But from the old Bashlin magazine, Bashlin sold Klien tools. I thought they sold their own.

Sorry, a little OT but a good song - Wichita Lineman, I kinda like the Meters version over the original Glen Campbell version

Thanks Woody. But I was sure I had a pair of lineman pliers from Bashlin but I guess they were Klien.

Naw. I am hooked on Glen Cambell. Never heard them.

I used Bashlin climbers at the phone company. I don't have them anymore, as I was injured and put on leave for a long time and my van got raided by co-workers. No big deal, as the company supplied all the tools.

And I like the Meters version, too. It is on a "long drive" playlist I have going.

I grew up hearing Glen Campbell's music on the radio, and the first LP album I ever owned was one of his. Having said that, I'm equally impressed with Johnny A's instrumental recording of Wichita Lineman, on his Sometime Tuesday Morning album. It's simply gorgeous.

You should put those pics on the Bell thread.

Yea. I will look it up. I have a lot more if I can find them. Thanks.
