You were sitting perfectly tone and mix wise in those videos. I'm still not sure I'm using my pre amp toggles correctly . Daryl

Thanks Stub, I cringe everything I hear myself playing that one sticato fill. I played it too long because I couldn't figure out how to land it back on the groove. Daryl

Thanks Dave, but I wish we had a more " produced" sound like your band. I like solos in jazz on the double bass. I'm not a fan of the electric bass guitar solo in rock songs. Agreed Dave, she's always going to call a bass solo in "Them Changes". I'm going to work out a solo at home and have something concrete that will work most of the time. Daryl

That stuff is arena worthy. Great chops. Daryl

Crossroads I'm not sure if you can open this. If you can at one point I go into a fill that I didn't land so great. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/199PqQfWCa/ Daryl

Thanks Lozz, It was really sort of an open jam. I think it was pretty new to us at that time. If you notice at the end of the song when our guitarist went back to the intro riff I thought we were going to get lost. That's why I walked over and started that " rave up " to close the song. Daryl

I think we draw some things from Creams live version. It's never the same twice. Daryl

Thanks Dave, I just wish we we were a little more consistent at that level. The clip is from one of those shows where everything just fell into place from the word " go ". Daryl

Thanks Stub, It's one of our big numbers. Lol When we can't collectively find the groove it doesn't work. Daryl

Thanks Stub. Herea link to us performing Ohio last year.

Wasn't feeling the gig. I made the mistake of not eating anything before the gig. This was a multi band gig. We played from 5:00-6:00. Well attended ticketed event , $35.00. Part of the problem was the room . Huge room on the marina ( Lake Michigan)with extremely high ceiling and lots of glass. Great lighting with smoke but the stage sound was not good. The amp provided was SWR cabs a 15" and a 4 10s. I stood right in front of the rig and couldn't hear a thing. Not much coming from my monitor either. Our band leader/ front person stayed engaged and positive with the crowd. Daryl

Nice job Dave. Great crowd and great looking venue. You guys sound very tight in the video. I listened to both clips with earbuds. Daryl

I know ,she was using one of those telephone cord leads we use to use back in the 60s. She used 2 Telecasters and a Les Paul last night. Daryl

I think I was merely standing there. No instrument. Daryl

Thanks, and I don't look a day over 70. Lol Daryl

Stub Mandrel said it for me. Lol "Probably it's urea-formaldehyde glue which can break down if kept damp and give off fumes (including ammonia) that smell like wee" Daryl

The only fool proof method might be buying a new case. My case for my 2000 MIJ Fender P stinks. It's the old glue that causes the stench. I won't tell you what it smells like. Lol Daryl

I heard an AI funk version of The Beatles " Help " . Daryl

She canceled last year at The Bend. We we're contracted to open for her. Daryl

I'm looking forward to this Saturday. I'll get a chance to hang out with a bunch of our local musicians. I'm glad we're going on first. It's a beautiful room on the marina in Port Washington. Daryl

Lol, Low level fame is about the only fame I'm ever going to get. Daryl

Friday night. Our small 300 seat historic theatre, The Bend. A 5 minute drive for me. British recording artist Joanne Shaw Taylor. Front row seat. Daryl

Dave, I probably should have said bad performances. We're very selective about what gigs we take and have no problem saying " no ". Daryl
