Zephyr Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Wow, that's cool, why can't stuff like that be located near me? Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=810593 http://www.myspace.com/dandelavega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuben Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Blueross, If you can get near the soundman for Dr John his nane is Rocky. He is a great friend of mine. He is easy to spot. Tall, short salt and pepper hair and lots of tatoos. Tell him Mike J said hello. He might let you hang out.

blueross Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Zub, wish I had seen that before leaving, but I pretty much posted and hit the door. As Fumbly posted in another thread, it was HOT here today and Long beach was no exception. Half of my group didn't make it to the Taj Mahal set and the rest of us left after Dr. John but before Buddy Guy. We were seriously risking heat exhaustion. Ambulances were carting people away who had fainted near us. I must had had 3-4 liters of water or lemonade and still got roasted. I think it was around 95 today and despite the floppy hat and most of the day under an umbrella, I still managed to burn around my neck. Anyway, bummed about missing Buddy, but the rest of the show was great. Lots of tone and some interesting guitars, including a Firebird in Taj's band. Need to crash. G'night.

Rampdog Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 If it's outside bring an umbrella and a small ice chest with ice and water and a small towel... that should help you get through the day... Enjoy my friend... If it ain't fun...why do it...? http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=778394&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
