That's Right, my TalkBass Brothers & Sisters... I broke The Rule!
Furthermore, I'm not sorry! It was hotter than dad-gummit here in Southwest Virginia yesterday evening, and I had an outdoor gig from 6:30 - 8:30 last night. Invalid Link Removed
Here's our guitar player, Josh, at load-in. Yeah, the stage is a floating boat dock. Show me the shade. Please.
So I dutifully rolled my rig out that gangway, and set up... in the blistering sun. SPF 60, aerosol. Jeannie made me. I don't wanna' hear it.
Brought along my '89 Alembic 5-string for the main ax:
...and my partly Alembicized '67 Guild Starfire, for a switch-off or back-up:
The shorts (if you're wondering) are a very comfortable, breathable fabric. I'm not nearly as brand-name conscious about them as I am about my bass gear, but I'll check for anybody who's interested. Alembic, Guild, Mesa, BagEnd, that's how I roll. Oh, the cap is from Nike... my Grand-daddy gave it to me. Oh well... another TalkBass fashion faux-pas.
The concert area for the show of course, is the water, but a good many folks set up along the shoreline too. I'm told that the music carries nearly a mile across the lake.
All trolling and jokes aside, it was a pretty fun thing. We had maybe 75-100 folks out on the water last night to play for, a few more on the land, and had a fantastic evening to throw down the newgrass, Harwell-Grice Band style. The Harwell Grice Band
And thanks to a complete disregard of the TalkBass Code, I got through it just fine.
Go ahead y'all... lemme' have it! Flames?! Report to Mods?! Warning points?! Whatcha' got?!
