It Is A Beautiful Day ...

Let's think big picture here.....

Beautiful, loving wife. 2 daughters who are the light of my life. Interesting career that challenges and compensates well. Beautiful extended family that supports and loves us even when they're ignored. Wonderful church family that is there thru good and bad. I live in a country that, despite all its problems, is a wonderful place to be.....

What else, hmmmmm, let me think,..... oh yeah

bass!!

Peace and love to you all,
Fo'

I saw them do that in Carnegie Hall.
Guess who opened for them ...
Mahavishnu Orchestra .... ouch ...
I don't think I could have come on after Jerry Goldman...

Hey, I just hijacked my own thread !!!

Following your thread hijack (OK that I sorta helped with :D ), did you ever read about the "effed" up story about It's A Beautiful Day and their "manager" Matthew Katz? Just about as sad as the story of Moby Grape and their "manager," Matthew Katz.

Another BTW, David LaFlamme was in a band (Orkustra) with Bobby Beausoleil of Manson murders fame.

Since the thread name is 'It's a Beautiful Day'
let's hjiack it, I am sure the owner won't care ... :D

I hear the thread owner is pretty decent about this stuff... :p

From what I understand is Katz (pronounced "Cates" like Phoebe) froze all assets and royalties, claimed ownership of the band names and any material written or produced under that band name. He tried to do the same thing with the Jefferson Airplane too.

Here's a list of Katz' lawsuits:

The big reason to not want to be a rockstar.

So what do you remember about the Carnegie show?
