Notes:

Finally got to have Dan Johnson share the stage with me on this set.  He came in quite handy. I'm sure what the final song Al did, it was a blues shuffle of some sort.

Another first: jamming with Kipp Wieland, the keyboard wiz of  Crankshaft and the guitar guru of Jiffy Pop, his tribute to K Tel and bad pop records.

I also got to see Jay Dean for the first time since I filled in for Blue Scratch.  They managed to do an half hour set of their music, but for some reason Jerogia sounded out of tune on most of the songs.


Saturday Night, Dreams Of Arcadia played Bo Macs. I cheered them on and didn't play.  I had a fellow jammer that came up to hear them, only he left about 10 minutes in.  He wasn't impressed with the songs they played.  He also pointed out that nobody was in the bar, which he was right.  He might have a point about nobody wanting to hear the originals.  I always thought that what made DOA unique.  Then again, they played on a night that we had a snowstorm that came in and made a mess out of the roads.

Patrick Geasland was the percussion player.  I know his playing is a lot more different than mine but while listening to his playing, I think he missed the breaks on some songs and approached Stealing Time in a regular way and not reggae as I usually play that song.   He's better suited for the harder rocking style of FLEX or Harvey Headbanger.  He did okay despite my nitpicking of things.

Nate Hines took this shot of DJ and Al. The photo with me photobombing them got left on the cutting room floor.  Probably better that way.  Al played in Danny and the Juniors and later, The Good, Bad And Ugly Band, a mainstay on the CR/Marion Music scene.  I'm very honored to share the stage with Al.  And of course Dan too.
