Sounds like a great time, good music brings out good people for fun , food and drink.
Just got done playing a gig in the park after the parade. It was to benefit a youth foundation and I don't know which one.
Anyway...a keyboard player sat in with us and sounded great. He's gigged in L.A. for some time and is living here now. He just happens to work where Mrs. Spud works too. No rehearsals. I just wrote down the song titles and keys and off we went. It sounded really good and put the other bands to shame (modestly repeating what I was told).
Tonight we are doing a large outdoor party ala Krashpad style. It's out of town along a creek in the forest and is an annual event. Darrin the keyboardist will be playing with us also. He's packing a Hammond B3 and Leslie. What a monster...but it sounds great.

Very nice. Sounds like a great time.
Hammond B3 and some whirling Leslies. Another flashback!!
That's why his name is Luke Skyrawker.Originally Posted by just strum
It used to be Spud Skyrawker until he got the Luke.
How was the H&K Spud?
I pick a moon dog.
I didn't even catch that in the background. Yep, interested in hearing how the amp performed at the gig(s).Originally Posted by tot_Ou_tard

It performs very well. No lack of anything. I might have even been a little loud. ha ha 20 watts...go figure.Originally Posted by tot_Ou_tard
This baby takes a Tube Screamer very well. I'm almost afraid to use the ZYS for fear that when I hear it it will be time to die as I have experienced complete tonal nirvana. All my pedals sound better with the H&K actually.

I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009
Luke and Kettner, sounds good! Go ahead, try that ZYS next time. I bet you rock and can't pass on because you need to experience that feeling a bunch more times. Looking good!, but your knees are showing!???
Glad you had so much fun bro, and wish I could have heard you.

Made it through the evening gig.
We were told there would be a large enough generator to get us through but when the guy pulled it out of the box it turned out to be much smaller than originally thought. Everything electrical was going haywire when the bass player and organist would hit a hard note together. We didn't blow anything but it felt like at any minute we could.
To the rescue
It just so happened that at the early gig that afternoon I saw an old friend and she told me she was getting married soon and then introduced me to her fiance'. They mentioned they would be coming to the gig at night and so they did. When they discovered the generator issue they drove all the way back to town and got theirs for us.: They really saved the day and now want us to play at their wedding reception. So that worked out nicely.
The last two sets were pretty darn cold as we were in the mountains. We could see our breath and our fingers were getting very sluggish but we managed to play on. We were able to come up with about 6 songs that we had never done before so it allowed us to stretch the sets. Yes Warren the keyboardist is a great addition and we'll be doing more gigs with him for sure. He'll be coming to rehearsal, um the open mic, tonight and we'll get to do it all over again and then some. More invention.
It was a good junior boxing event for some of the women and I'm sorry to report their were no Crocks in sight.
