BLUE STUFF/DRIVE

[palembic]

Well brothers,
 
R & B temple ...well ...this is Belgium. If you use a magnifier on your daughters world atlas you maybe find the place squeezed between France and Holland. It's a question of scale. The place is realtively large and they HAVE a own system but ...we didn't thought we needed it. We are so used to use our own stuff that by far meets the most teeny-weeny bars we're playing in (me hidden between the ladies&men's room doors).  
It was just a thing of learning and being confronted with a (for us) never heard of situation.
Well ...that's what playing live is all about.  
Anyway ...it was a valuable experience and I really appreiated your reaction to my sharingf of this. There are not much people I can do this with.
 
 
Paul the bad one
 
 
PS: Tweak Peaks was directed in the longitudinal axe of the bar. The guitar was behind the corner. It seems they got a present and good sounding bass! HA!

Halleluiha!!!!
 
an extra gig for DRIVE!!!
 
We can play the St-Patricks festivities at Blarneys the Irish pub in Zaventem. At 17 march 22 hrs.
Guys this pub is at 750m from the Exit of Brussels International Airport. SO if you catch the afternoon plane ...

It couldn't get much more Saint Patrickish than Blarneys!  Eh?
Saint Patricks Day is my birthday!
Hoist one for me!  I wish I could get over there to see you play.
Blow the foam off the beers!

[palembic]

Brother Hollis,
 
there is most of the time not much foam on the beers in those Irish bars ...no insult meant. We LOOOOOOOOVE Kilkenny btw ...
and Old Paddy ...
and .... well I forgot the names.
 
Paul the bad one
 
 
I definitely have a drink on your behalf, our guitarplayer (the small one with the hat) his birthday is on the 18th!!!

[hollis]

My Daughter's 30th birthday is March 18th......small this world eh?
 
No insult taken.....Okay.....How about blow the wax out of their ears!!
 
Have a great time, I'll think of you around hoisting time.....

[mikedm]

Okay, try this: my birthday is the 16th, my younger brother's is the 16th, albeit one year apart and we're named Mike and Pat. If we were catholic, I'd bet we'd bleed green.....
 
Hollis, Happy Birthday!
 
So Paul, as a teensy request for Hollis and meself, do you think you could be a good lad and celebrate with us by laying down a wee bit of a solo while we're in our pints? I can't think of a better venue than a pub named Blarney's and on blessed Saint Paddy's Day yet.

I can.  Club Chronadh na Gaeilge in Dublin.  Orders at the bar are only taken in Irish.
   
Paul, you and the band have a round of porter for me.  I'd love to join you there if it were possible.  St. Pat's day will be a little blue this year anyway since I'm not supposed to drink anymore.
 
Beannachta? na F?ile P?draig!

Brother Sam ...we all got a Kilkenny on the bahalf of the Irish and of all the Irish members of this club.
It was a GREAT gig!
Still fighting the (light) hum in Tweak Peaks. Well ...I have a Powersupply+racklight 1HE element in my rack. It indicates the voltages. We started playing at 223V (the F1-X is set on 220V) by the ebd of the evening we had 243V!!!! And I definitely had the hum.
Maybe it is due to that too.
Anyway ...nothing to worry about now. Guys it was REALLY cool! The band as thight playing as our Iris' jeans!

Sam ...above the (small) stage was written in Gaelic Ce*&^??? Mi**^- Fae**&^ meaning Hunderd Thousands Welcomes. Neat huh !?!

[bracheen]

Cead mile failte (kayd MEE-lah FAWL-chah)  Pretty cool Paul, sounds like a great night and thanks for the toast.  You don't dye your beer green do you, like us silly Americans?  
Debi & I spent a quite evening at home watching a Minnie Driver movie.  
Getting older sucks!

Nei-ei-eih
Get your ass over here and I'' put you on stage with the guys!!!
 
PTBO
 
I'll entertain senior management ;-)

[bracheen]

I'll take you up on that in about a year.

[palembic]

Sam-sam-sam ...
you'd got to be there.
Man-man-man ...what a GIG ...it was HUGE!
We were as tight as our singers jeans!!!
Maybe a little too tight, my brother warned too get loose a little. Playing music -and certainly the blues- is about NOT playing. So it is more important choosing the notes you don't play instread of those you play.
 
Well pioctures will follow (Bartender ...a round of beer for that table in the corner before they start banging ...put it on  ...oh ...huh Mica's tab LOL).
 
GREAT NEWS!
 
Where are the Harley and motor ALembicians?
This sunday (Eastern) BLUE STUFF plays at the Caf? ZOO, St- dymphnaplein in GEEL at 19:00hrs at the occasion of a motor meeting.
It's gonna be great ...I hope!
Okay ...who is in the neighborhood?? Brother David the LOud one? Brother Jonathan??? The Paul's Brigade???

PICTURES-PICTURES-PICTURES!!!!  
Sounds like you guys were so tight you squeeked when you walked.  I think you're to happy to play the blues.  I've been practicing up for you.  You should send me a song list so I can learn something we'll all know.  Hey, if I come play with Drive do I get to wear the striped hat?
 
So it is more important choosing the notes you don't play instead of those you play.  Rarely has a wiser statement been made. Disipline is the key to that.
 
What type of motor meeting is happening?  We like to go down to the annual Cavallino Classic Ferrari meet in Palm Beach.  Of course we're outside looking in.

Oh ...huh ...I still got only one picture of the Blarneys gig.
See the dude with the green hat??? SAINT PATRICKS DAY!!!! Man-man ...this was great!!!
 

 
The gig at the ZOO with BLUE STUFF was ok too. Only ...the bar owner made a mistake in bookin hours. Th motor-drivers were there between 14:00 and 18:00. We were there at 19:00 ...oooooops.
The people who stayed LOVED it!!!!

Brother Paul,
Looks like much fun!  How did you keep you glass from vibrating off your rig?
