I have redeemed the tom-tom drum and given it new life as the Banjo it was meant to be.

Be the first in your neighborhood (hood) to have one.

Goes well with Rap music and other various niose!

Call Mike at 714-307-7857

Hello,my name is Greg . I live in Palmyra now; moved here from Mobile,AL several months ago. ,but I`m originally from the Boston area. I have been a semi-professional Rod Stewart impersonator/impressionist for about 15 years. I am 48 yo. I call my tribute -BIG ROD.I am a large sized man so the name is very apt. My desire is to form a Rod Stewart tribute band or a duet with an acoustic guitarist, with other singers/musicians,or at least hire out myself as a one man show for hire,any occasion. I have ok 12 yo club speakers,stands,wireless mike and stand and amp and mixer,again none of it spectacular but good enough for a gig. I have all my music on a computer in Real Player and i have CDGs and some burned cd-roms. I am also willing to just get together to jam as a hobbyhorse,etc in lieu of gigs.. As for my act right now i do one-man shows with karaoke background music when i do have a rare gig. I only performed once in mobile at the Crooked Martini last year,a week before St. Patrick`s day. When i lived in Lancaster a few years back; I did a gig downtown on Queen st, for the Friday arts thing they had. The vast majority of all my past gigs have been in Mass. I have also won numerous karaoke contests over the years as well. I am always available for any occasion. I know over 70 Rod Stewart songs and can learn more. I perform,of course, the songs which are available on karaoke. My set list is anything from maggie may to his latest Songbook album. With a band or another musician,there are obviously many more songs that I will do such as songs he has not recorded but has performed as well as classic soul/rock covers in his style that fit his voice. I can sing many songs in an evening and have lots of energy and passion in my performances. I can move pretty good as well. I stay in character in my shows using a Stewart like voice and sense of humour. I use a long blonde wig and black viny like pants and tall boots. My shirts are either satiny like polyesters and I have a disco mirror ball type shirt i like to wear. I have three sport coats that i wear as well. I can wear make-up but haven`t used it in years. If you are seriously interested in putting something together or if you want to hire for an evening; please email me with details. I do not have a resume/package per se but i do have some video of my past performances going back to 1998/99 and a short video from last year as well. I will post my most current business card to this ad at some future time As for me auditioning for you and/or vice- versa; I do not have a rehearsal space but we could meet at yours or at my home or yours. I usually ask people to meet me at a local karaoke venue so they can see and hear me perform. You may also call me,Greg, at 717-639-xxxx 9:30 am- midnight.. Look forward to hearing from you; serious replies only. ALSO OPEN MINDED TO JOIN A COVER BAND AS A VOCALIST,FRONT MAN OR OTHERWISE. OBVIOUSLY IN THIS CASE I WOULD NOT BE DRESSED/PERFORMING AS ROD STEWART. YOUTUBE LINK BIG ROD-HOT LEGS - YouTube

Just too f'ing brutal to watch, I couldn't finish. Nothing like watching a fat cross dresser pretending to be Rod Stewart. WOW.

LOL!! I actually saw that one during a casual perusing through my local craigslist ads. I cant for the life of me figure out why he has his shirt off. People are weird.

He's compensating. Image offsets skill in some markets. Although, in my experience, most audiences tend to steer clear of the shirtless bassist due to the sweat factor. Unless she has b00bs. Then perspiration seems to be an aphrodisiac.

But you're right. People are weird.

If this was closer I would run out and buy it. Then I would find a BP audition ad on CL and casually stroll in with this in hand. The looks would be priceless. :eyebrow:

I just sent the seller the following email:

Hi

Just so I’m understanding this: you say it’s in emasculate condition, yes? So, you had the testicles removed from your bass? Where were they, how did you do it, and why did you do it?

This would be a unique instrument, so I'd love to see more of it, and would be interested in purchase as well. What's your bottom price for this interesting instrument?

Thanks!

It'll be interesting to see if/how he answers.
