I thought that was pretty darn good! And I am VERY jealous of the fact that you are out on a boat in what looks like great weather! Is that SoCal? Just curious about where in the world it is so nice right now.
I liked the high end blowbends you were throwing in there, especially towards the end. Some of the middle range playing could have been "crisper", but I imagine you might have had a bit of navy grog flowing trough your veins at that point? Especially judging from the half empty cup of amber liquid that was on the mic stand! ;) All in all, you played with taste and style,a nd didn't stomp all over it. Very nice! ---------- ------------------ View my videos on YouTube!"
we are a few miles off honolulu. yes, that grog is heineken, and i'm loopy drunk so i slopped up the midrange. thanks! ---------- MP hibachi cook for the yakuza doctor of semiotics superhero emeritus
Neat table/mic stand ( although you almost dumped it there trying to hand Larry a vox solo ! ) Nice playing, too. I especially liked the vocals.
What a great gig! Our band had a terrible night on the 3rd. Place kinda a friendly dump, owners cool, four customers all night....fewest we've ever played for. Stage was so small, the sax player and myself looked like siamese twins. Then, the mounties were out in force, so easy on the comp beer. Didn't help that the night before, a bigger dive down the street had a huge bar fight and one guy had a finger bitten off!
larry got the mic stand attachements ideas from me. i used to have an ashtray,harp mic holder, drink holder, set list(never followed it)etc.
sorry to hear about your gig. it's been ten years but i remember a gruesome stabbing with a scissors in a PA dump.
the next night the dump was robbed. we didn't get paid because the robbers obviously had our cash.
one reason i moved back home to hawaii after 7 years was the bullshit out there. i think after 7 years you can get pretty worn out. ---------- MP hibachi cook for the yakuza doctor of semiotics superhero emeritus

I hear ya, Mark. I thought I was escaping Yahooland five years ago when I moved from Wisconsin to California five years ago. There's as many bozos and freaks out here, ( and it's one of the nicer areas ) .
I chatted with my attorney last night and told him about it. He started laughing, and said he was in court on Tuesday when the perp was arraigned and everyone perked up when the charge of MAYHEM was announced. Mayhem? that's one you don't hear often!
My buddie "Cadillac Pete" Rahn has built quite a business designing and marketing various add-on holders for mic stands...mostly geared for harp players.
i have a few mic holders i modified from various things that perfoermed other functions. long ago(two decades?) i saw kim wilson with one and went copycat. ---------- MP hibachi cook for the yakuza doctor of semiotics superhero emeritus
it would be great if you could post a vid of your playing. i'm sure you would be a big hit and an inspiration. ---------- MP hibachi cook for the yakuza doctor of semiotics superhero emeritus
Thanks MP... I am bad about that stuff.. and dont know how to upload video to youtube... I should look into it. Laziness has a lot to do with it... and a lack of good material! ----------
hey nancy, hope this is alright with you. if not i'll delete it. BIG NANCY AND SONNY RHODES!!

That is cool, I like the way harp and sax play together (why is that you never see them ?), until the sax solo I actually thought there were two harps !
I liked the jam on the boat too. Very nice playing, just lacked direction some times, but the velocity is beyond me. Do you OB when you run fast in the middle of the harp ?

i totally agree on the lack of direction at times.
once in awhile my brain gets bombarded simultaneously with conflicting ideas. this is one of those times. oh well..
no OBs at all. i'm workin' on 'em though. ---------- MP hibachi cook for the yakuza doctor of semiotics superhero emeritus
