Did someone said beer???

Dave:
 
Cool segment!  Was that strains of Eyes of the World in the background as the MC waxes poetic about French Broad beer?
 
Bill, tgo

[David Houck]

Yes, the two tunes heard on the segment are the aformentioned Cissy Strut and Eyes Of The World.

[lbpesq]

Eyes of the World is a GREAT song.  I once got retained on a big case because, while meeting with the prospective client at his house, I picked up a guitar and started playing Eyes.  Later the client told me he decided on me because he thought it was really cool that his lawyer could play Eyes of the World!  
 
As an aside, to be politically (in)correct shouldn't French Broad Brewery change its name to Freedom Testosterone-challenged Person Brewery?  LOL
 
Bill, tgo

[David Houck]

I'm guessing the brewery is named after the French Broad River that runs through the middle of town.  
 
I like Eyes a lot too!  It's kinda been an unexpected challenge for us.  We're a three piece instrumental group, and on this song in particular we've really had to focus on the phrasing of the melody in both the verse and chorus sections.  If the phrasing of the melody isn't right, the thing just kinda falls apart.  But we're making a lot of progress with it.

Street fair.

Hey Moder Dave,
 
the reason I admire you is not only the playing but also the looks: for one or another reason you seem to always just-hop-out-of-the-forrest (which is a compliment ...really) and this Street fair must be your home forrest main street I presume???

PS: did you have All Blues on the playlist yet?

[David Houck]

Hi Paul;
 
Yes, I come in out of the forest to buy food and play gigs .
 
And the street is, coincidentally enough, Montford Avenue in Asheville, NC, about a thirty minute drive from my place.  And the occassion, even more coincidentally enough, is the annual Montford Music & Arts Festival.
 
And yes, All Blues is now on the set list and has been performed several times.

[palembic]

COOL!
Yoooodeliiiiihooooooooooooooooooo (you have to do that in a loooooooooo-ow frequencu vioce)
Moder Tarzan Dave swinging from liana to liana out of the forrest ...

Keavin, seven; but when I get around to it I plan to post some of them for sale here in the forum.  My basses, along with two beautiful basses belonging to Keith, can be seen here.
