Ok, yikes again. Gig time, friday night at the local brewery. Opening for Abraxas, a well regarded Santana tribute band that is supposed to be the bomb. The gig is official and in the paper and everything. http://www.mtexpress.com/index2.php?ID=2005136076 Yikes!! We are mentioned three paragraphs down.

We are going under the moniker for this show of "Those Guys". I think Johnny just kinda threw out a name to cover us for now. It was mis-printed in the paper version of this paper as "Those One Guys". LOL! I might like that even a little better. "Hey, who's opening for that Santana band?" "Hmm, wait, let me think, . . . it's Those One Guys."

We are not being paid, other than free beer, but they are charging a cover because of the other band, so I have been practicing as I would like to sound decent. We will play for about 35-45 minutes with about 5 or 6 of Stonewheat's originals and two or three covers, including probably Wooden Ships, Into the Mystic, and maybe Norwegian Wood. Mellow, sit down and eat dinner before the big band comes out stuff. Should be fun!

Rig will be my Hagstrom, my Peavey C-30, my delay pedal and maybe the boost in my ZYS. I will probably bring my tele for if I break a string or something with my massive bends 2 to 5 step bends. ;-)
