A group of North Carolina friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck. "Where's Henry?" the others asked. "Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail," was the reply. "You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?" "A tough call," nodded the hunter, "but I figured no one's gonna steal Henry!"

This is a band (The Help Online) that I recorded some tracks for their first album. The song Three Minutes Till Midnight was number 1 on this indi-music site about two weeks ago. http://www.indie-music.com/bands/chart.php?order=1&pagenum=1&pagebreak=20&genre=Blues&header_template=logo_headerBLUES.tpl&row_template=chart_1_row.tpl&footer_template=logo_footer.tpl If you look and it's no longer on the chart here is their site http://www.thehelponline.com/ Go to Songs and there are several off the new CD. I only participated in 4 songs but this is all original music and worth listening to. Thanks

This isn;t my tune but I contributed to the final product. I was playing a vintage Hammond CV through a 147 Leslie. My first time sitting on this beast and I had a blast even though the song was in Db. Give a listen to Mistake. (the first song up) www.myspace.com/chuckhodges

Welcome to the forum guys. It's a cool place to hang out whether you are young or old, novice or professional. Just a bunch of overgrown children hanging here, getting GAS and laughing a Gas (in the car) Tom. Hey Tom Pull up a beer and drink a chair.

Tom, great story but I must have had a memory lapse. Making jokes about me. humph Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, guess I'll just go eat some worms.

I was playing in a Swing band a couple of years back when swing dancing was booming. This couple from the local swing dance society had us play for their wedding. After the first set a guy comes up and say's "who would hire a band like you guys for a wedding." My guess is he wanted Brickhouse, and Boogie oogie oogie. Also had a woman walk on stage one night as we were packing up and look me dead in the eye and ask "could we go out sometime?" I of course said sure and got her phone number and email address. When I contacted her she never responded, what's up with that. LOL

A dog barks out the window of the car to his buddies as he is riding off. He says "oh boy fellas I'm going to get tutored."

I guess the time has come to introduce myself. I have been lurking around this forum for the better part of the year. I've been impressed with the content and the professional take on Most posts. I am Jim Weaver also known as Dream Weaver (no I didn't write the song). I have been playing in bands since the late 60's. I once read this quote and I wish I could take credit for this but my memory isn't what it used to be. My gear is currently Roland RD700 Roland VK8M Yamaha Motif6 Roland KC500 also stored away is a 70's Rhodes in need of an overhaul and several amps and stomp boxes "If you have to tell people who you have opened for or gigged with then are you really a Player?" So I will not get into that but I have been through the rocky rhodes and whirly days of the past. I am currently playing two of the best bands I have ever been associated with. They are SLOWHAND A TRIBUTE TO ERIC CLAPTON wwww.slowhand.us which is fun and has opened my eyes to some of the great keys players Eric has had. The other band is Trick Bag which is a soul/ R&B band which features 4 part harmony as well as solid R&B players. www.trickbag.net I don't know squat but I do have opinions. Music isn't a full time job but as an independent sales rep for a medical mfg. co. I have the time and funds to pursue my love of performing.
