At a glance, August 10 - 12 looks like it's the usual 2nd weekend in August (...yeah... dtb and crazy Lee will be here for a month, and if it's like this last one, We'll have 45 people here by Thursday, but who's counting :rolleyes: ).

is that a real poncho... or a Sears poncho... :p

My thought exactly. Remember to NEVER take youself too seriously. I mean, do what you do and do it to the best of your ability. Laugh at mistakes, and if some one starts heckling you, have them come up on stage and show you up. They often never blow you away, and even if they do, it's a...

it's that time again... phew... I thought I was gonna wake up tomorrow and find your circus tent out in the yard :D

Damn, it's that time already. I need to take a class on time management, 'cause I just can't seem to break away from this place for nothing. I mean, hell, I barely get a chance to get on-line these days. I'll pencil it in on the calender and see if the car's going South on 95 on the 21st...

Frank Marino (& Mahogany Rush)... hence my nick :rolleyes: Check out the tune "Stories of a Hero" off of the JUGGERNAUT disc. Killer for the time!!

LOL, yeah, and it is EVERYONE too, the crowd and the band, even if some clod onstage keeps sticking the mic in front of a main or monitor. I'm in a duo, and I usually point out the sound guy for everyone to harrass when there's an earsplitting feedback event... I actually do our sound from...

well, we made it through the first two gigs after only three practice sessions. I'd say it went off as well as could be expected considering I had to get through it with a wicked case of brochitis (which, I guess I should be counting my blessings because Kathy is layed up with pnumonia :( )...

What I'll have: Mackie 808S powered mixer QSC mx1500a stereo power head JBL/URIE ES600 stereo power head JBL G734's They have a few years on 'em, but they're work horses's MusicMan 212-HD 130...sneakily designed by Leo himself ;) Silvertone 1484 Twin 12 Ensoniq EPS and a Korg NS5R for keys...

I was playing my usual gig on St. Paddy's day, and around the end of the second set, who walks in but my bandmate from 10 years ago. After we split, there may have been some bad blood, and then we just got busy with our own things, so we totally lost contact for around ten years (and We were...

see if the city has a canned contract, or past contracts in their archives. I never liked contracts myself, as I found that the agent used to walk with an absorbitant amount of $$$ where we would end up with like a 1/4 of the take... and when you would try to connect with the gig at a better...

Well, I made it through. Kind of a stiff crowd. I mean, I knew most of the people there, but at this place, the regulars usually get things rolling for me and they were conspicuously absent (Probably because it's a Thursday night). Different staffing too. They seemed new, and the old staff...

That's right... so if you're in the area, why not spend St Patrick's Day the way it was intended... Listening to live music and getting slammed in an authentic Mexican restaurant! :eek: Pancho Loco on Route 83 Vernon, CT to be exact. Sure, I'll probably end up playing Danny Boy, The Black...

:( the little one is still a little little to make the trek this year... and I don't think we have a car that would make the trip right now, so things are looking bleak (I held out hope for as long as I could... but who knows... tommorrow's another day and who knows what it'll bring :) )

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I'm unloading some stuff. I currently have the Roland VK-77 Dual Manual Keyboard up on the block. In the future, as I go through my stuff, I'm thinking about putting up a JBL/URIE ES600 stereo power amp, maybe my AT 4050, some MIDI modules and drum pads...

Still not looking good on our end. I have to find a way to break it to my old bandmate (he's gonna be real bummed because he and I were the ones who started his 20 year stint up there, and it's also where I met the wife). I wouldn't forego any plans for that weekend if I were you. I'm still...

sorry jalbert... I've been sorta MIA as of late (including, but not limited to formatting my C Drive) so I haven't been able to give you a shout back. I'm not too familiar with open mic gigs in your neck of the woods, but I know they're around. Try checking out the Hartford Advocate for some...

Still trying to work things out on this end, but to be honest, it's not looking like We're gonna be able to pull off the trip (which is probably gonna really bum out my old bandmate and crew, but not half as much as us). Again, things might change between now and then, but realistically, if...

Thanx for the kind words! I dunno why they're cutting out early. I'll have to look into that (I probably screwed up something with the up-load onto my site), but you get the basic idea anyway. :)

This isn't in stone yet (well, the gig is, but I'm still trying to iron out the details as to whether I'll actually be able to swing it), but on the weekend of September 10 - 11, one of my old bandmates has put together a sort of reunion thing with a bunch of his former bandmates (he's been at...
