Nice show last night TS! I thought you guys sounded great, and what a treat to see Melvin so close and personal. Seemed like you guys had some moments when it was really cooking. Sorry we didn't get a chance to connect. I tried to introduce myself at set break but right as I was walking up, you walked in to start the second set. Was gonna hang around after, but the idiot who decided to knock over a few tables and break a bunch of pint glasses derailed that..... my wife grabbed me by the arm and said "we're leaving, now."
Anyway, congrats again on the opportunity to play with a legend!

Wow... I could really get used to having Melvin in the band! Such a great experience to play with and get to know him. We got some video... it's super-slow uploading HD via DSL; this first one took over 8 hours but here it is:

Thanks man!
More Melvin stuff to come but I also can't wait to post some stuff from last Thursday's set as "Dogs Over The Planets"( three guitars, two drummers, and no keyboards... basically every GD player in town who wasn't going to Furthur that night): we played in a large theater with no miking on the guitars, and I really got to open up my rig and get the E-120 in its sweet spot!

Now that I want hear. I really dig your singing too. Unlike most Jerry players I can tell you have worked on getting his vocal inflections close too. I guess that is also some thing that has to come naturally too with ones voice tone. I can tell he was digging it, and I will be stealing some of your Jerry riffs, btw....

Awesome tigerstrat. I'd give my left nut to play with Melvin. He is the best there is on the Hammond. Congrats!
