    Default Gig on main street in Camrose

    Myra, me and the other boys had an evening gig today, downtown Camrose. The stage was right on the street. It was fun. We practiced just once (yesterday) and we learned a whole bunch of new tunes, and even if we did screw up some of them a bit, it was nice to have some fresh material.

    Several SRV tunes we had never done before. "Hug You, Squeeze You", "Tightrope", "I'm Cryin", "Empty Arms".

    We also covered 2 tunes Bonamassa plays - "Wild About You", "I Don't Live Anywhere". We are learning "Pack It Up" too.

    I used my Suhr and my Hellhound (portability reasons) and I got good tone. The Blues Driver worked great for blues, and some Maxon SD-9 for fatter distorted tones on some songs.

    Thanks, well the shirts... it just happened we are were all wearing black shirts, it was not planned! I wear my Icebreaker shirts all the time - they are the best.

    We also played Born Under a Bad Sign, and ZZ Top - She Loves My Automobile, and Playing With My Friends (BB King version).

    I brought the Michael Kelly Patriot Shadow as a backup. Used it on one song.

    Yep, being happy playing is what is about!

    Way to go Robert, you guys look very satisfied, thats the reason for the music.

    Cool! You even had astroturf!

    Were all the instruments in the PA? Looks like your amp is mic'd.

    Yeah, the guitar was mic'd, and the drums. The bass player has a nice Ampeg bass combo, and I think it has a line out. Nice sounding amp.

    This picture is funny - it wasn't arranged either.
