Thanks BB! I'm super psyched to get this band on stage! I've been so fortunate to gather high quality musicians who are also high quality people.
It hasn't been easy since I started this project we've gone through a few guitarists a keyboardist or two a couple of drummers, etc. But now things "feel like dynamite"

Well, I'm actually gonna be home before august, 7/3 - 7/24, but maybe something will work out. I'll either dig it live or have to rely on the internet...

wow Aurora, party on Garth!
Part of me ol' stompin grounds... but Mark & Denise's- wasn't that under a different name about 10 years ago? Hairball Willy used to play there? I think Wingnut did once too... the Red Fox Inn or something? I remember that acute angle room layout and that location off the 88. And I think I may have jammed plenty of times with your pianist. Is she a blond lady? She's great, nice score there. Sounds great whoever it is. That bassist looks awfully familiar as well... maybe from open mics at that place over on 31 whose name I also can't recall. Sounds good, careful with the multiple drummers! Such a touchy maneuver- almost like the roommate switch!!

Yes M&D's is the newer name of the place but I never knew it beforehand all I know is that live music has been played there since the late 80s as I was told.
Yes, John K's bands played there.
It's a fun room with a great soundguy and stage and PA. It has the larger room feel with that regard but with a smaller/medium sized charm due to its size.
Must be very careful with double drummers I learned that.
We are considering coming down to a 4 piece until things take off cuz of scheduling issues and what not. Will not be the same but it would make things alot easier.
