I enjoyed meeting Keith too!  It was great to see a fellow club member.  Keith and I both thought that some of the other patrons at this particular establishment had a few too many; and this was after only the first set.  Thanks for the nice comments, Keith!

Hey Dave, just had a chance to puruse some of your audio and vid files. Nice stuff, good performances all around! Great bass sound and technique, keep it up!

[David Houck]

Thanks!

[zuperdog]

Nice stuff! Thanks for reviving this thread for the newbies!

Hee hee!!  For those of you in North Carolina, UNC-TV has a program called North Carolina Weekend (nice program if you've never seen it).  This week's show has a segment about the French Broad Brewery in Asheville; and one of the aspects of the brewery that is covered in the piece is the fact that they have live music.  And the night that they filmed the piece, Montford Park was playing there.  So if you're in North Carolina, check your local listings; but I'm guessing that most UNC-TV stations have the same schedule.  It was broadcast this evening at 9:00 and will probably be re-broadcast tomorrow evening at 8:00.  There's a great close up shot of an Alembic bass!!

for those who havent heard the sound clips.>>>http://www.montfordpark.com/mplisten.html

Cool!  Love the clips Dave.  Still keeping you guys in mind - would love to work out a double bill.

[David Houck]

Thanks Keavin!
 
Sam; go here.  On the top left of the page there's a space that says Last Week's Program.  The program that's on there at this moment is not the one from last night.  I'm assuming that, if they actually update that link regularly, that fairly soon you should be able to see last night's program by clicking that link; but that of course it won't be up more than a week.  The brewery segment was near the end of the show if you don't want to sit through the entire half hour show.
 
Bill; Dave on TV is a scary thought!  What were they thinking!
 
James; we're in Hendersonville tonight at the Back Street Bar & Grill.  We were supposed to be in Asheville last week at Ed Boudreaux's but we were snowed out.

[keith_h]

Dave,
Snowed out? You folks are supposed to be used to it up there in the mountains. It's us flatlanders that shut the city down for flurries. LOL
 
Keith

[David Houck]

LOL!!  Keith; Jon and I discussed the situation several times by phone.  Finally, he called the club owner, who was very understanding.  We felt that as much as we wanted to play, it just wasn't worth the risk.

Saw the clip last night. You didn't mention that you  got a close up. :-)  
 
I've driven by the brewery and never realized that they had the tasting room and entertainment. I will need to stop by the next time I'm up there. Looks like a nice place.
