Author Topic: Pros From Dover (Read 398 times)

I'll be playing for the third time with these guys on Thursday night. Wolf (Sonicus) will be joining us for the second time. Since the group has no name, I've taken to calling it The Pros From Dover. (Two brownie points to anyone who gets the reference - double points if you're under 40). The Pros are a stone cold jam band. Lots of Grateful Dead with some Band, Dylan, and similar era material. Lots of improv - songs go 7-15 minutes. We'll be at the Parkway Lounge on Park Blvd. in Oakland, 8:30 to around 11:30 or so. A real dive bar and a real slice-o-life!

Bill, tgo

Which guitar will you be bringing? I'd love to hear the recording if you're doing one!
Have a great gig, guys!

MASH, and I'm 39.

I'll be playing Woody, my custom Further again. The place is quite dark and the LEDs really come in handy, especially when I'm singing and using peripheral vision.

Bradley gets the brownie points!

I have been recording these sessions in CD quality. Is there a way to post it so you guys can check it out? I'd love to get some feedback. Do I have to convert to mp3? (yuchhh). I've noticed some talk around here about soundcloud. Is that how I can post the recordings?

Bill, tgo & tlo (the Luddite one)

I've just started using soundcloud and it's pretty spiffy, imho..

Love to hear the recordings, Bill!

Let me know when the tour comes to Texas! Bill, I can convert your recordings to MP3 if you want me to. Do you have Dropbox? You can put the files in there & I can convert them & send them back to you.

I have various means to do it as well. I am sure we need to edit them before we post them.

I look forward to hearing them Wolf & Bill!

Rusty , thanks for your enthusiasm and always lending a helping hand. You folks are all so awesome_____

I had a great time last time and kept it kind of simple. I played my single pickup Distillate who I have named Teufelin ( She-Devil in German) This simple little Bass continues to amaze me.

Equipment wise I could have been extravagant but also kept it quick and simple . For an amp just an old GK 400RB through a GAUSS 4580 in an original ALEMBIC A15 cabinet. I might bring Alembic Rack gear next time but I also just might bring the same stuff .

Sounds like this could evolve from a fun jam session to a regularly gigging band! I'm happy for you! The birth of a new band is like getting a new girlfriend, everyone is all giddy & excited & the future is wide open! Enjoy the experience my friend!

Rusty ,
Thanks , I enjoy the concept of what Bill describes in his opening post Stone Cold Jam Band .

rustyg61 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 06, 2012, 04:54:01 PM »

Nothing like a good jam session to get the juices flowing! Get someone to video it & post it on You Tube! Y'all could be the host band for the next Northern California Gathering!

I'd love to hear your recordings... I play a lot of Dead (and the like), am a future Further owner, and kind of starved to hear the sound!

You can use Soundcloud, and people can follow you to find out when there are new posts. You do not have to convert to mp3, but if you wanted to, you can do it easily in iTunes, QuickTime Player, or many other applications.

Looking forward to the gig report!
