This is a video edited from my recording by a bass player friend of mine for the purpose of pissing off the guitar player, (they didn't like each other). Its a train wreck,
But its funny and educational.

It was about two years after I started learning harp.
First time I ever played in front of a crowd.
It was very challenging for me because I was nervous and it was a bad set.
I thought the guitar player changed the key at least once and then eventually back to the original key.
Notice I ask the bass player during the song, he confirmed it.

I'm using a small shell brown bullet with a black CR thru a Premier 10 watt G2R. Harp starts at 5:06.

Comments?

I want a gold star for listening to the whole thing. The ending was special, and the crowd clapped politely. The drummer gets a gold star too. You can have one for posting this, give it to whoever understands you and the twisted need to share this. Harp had good tone. (practicing my forum skills)

I am twisted, but I only taped it. (Recorder sitting on the table) I sent a copy to the bass player friend and he created this.

Its funny, and has some value?

It should be titled, "when good jams go bad"

Man, that made me cringe! One of those moments when you wish a big hole would open up and swallow you.
Very instructional for the new player!

Check out the body language of these jammers...

No one is into it. Everyone is in their own little world.

(could not listen to whole 7 minutes...fast forwarded a lot)

The older guy playing guitar was hammered that nite.
Believe it or not the rest of the jam went great.
It was a long running blues only jam that had some
great musicians.

They let everyone have a chance
regardless of talent or alcohol level.

I watched the whole thing and I loved ever second of it! It was phenomenal and totally epic! Anything that could go wrong did, minus someone becoming physically hurt.
