Two Tingles Intermingle.
Today, during lunch, I went and laid down a layaway payment on the new amp and I got to play on it. It sounds fab! Some of the cool amps from the 60's (especially plexi Marshalls) can do this thing where you plug one input of one channel into the other to overdrive it. I think they call it "daisy chaining". I tried it and it sounded really munchy. I can't wait to raise the rest of the cash so I can bring it home. Probably by the end of the month, I hope. Next week is going to be yet another busy one. I've got the Police concert on Tuesday, a benefit of some sort where i'm double-drumming with my friend Pete Lavezolli at City Limits in Delray on Wednesday, Bamboo Room with the Dillengers on Thursday and O'Hara's (i think) on Saturday. This Friday, i'm at O'Hara's and all the amps i'd like to use are in the shop so I guess i'll be fighting my sound all night. This Saturday, Kris is going to Orlando with a friend so I have little Jojo all to myself. Sunday, I'm not playing Elwood's 'cause Rick is out of town. Tomorrow is the birthday of our nation. I always think of Jimi Hendrix on July 4. I don't know why.

Can't wait to blast The Star Spangled Banner tomorrow. With the current state of things, I think I may cry.
As a minister, may I be the first on your blog to say: bless this nation of free expression and unlimited opportunities. It's just too bad a moron has the floor right now. It'll get better. Different, but better.
yay! We're off together on hump day! Ahem.
"Daisy-chaining" and "double-drumming"? Hmm... *insert gay-themed joke here, or just think of Dave*
Thanks for posting your schedgie. I'm bound to make it to at least one of these gigs. Would you wanna use the Line 6 I'm holding hostage for the Fri. gig? I could use it on Saturday afternoon but could get by with my Vox if need be.
Happy rain-soaked Fourth!
Hey,
I deleted the last comment 'cause I was signed in as my lady. I got a pile of amps to use...i'm just being a baby. You missed Ratatouille and it was great. Jojo enjoyed the fireworks atop the Mizner Parking Garage, We ran into someone we know at Starbucks. Must watch Jimi Hendrix.
Glad you kids had a good time. Mine pretty much sucked. I played music (or tried to, anyway) with people I didn't know playing songs I didn't know, and those songs I did know I didn't like. The whole thing was a rhythmic nightmare, and I managed to sound like I had two broken hands in a pair of mittens.
The fireworks were pretty, as was the faint rainbow after the sky finally cleared.
Glad you couldn't make it. ;-)
Sorry to hear that. Nothing more painful than bad music.
For Keith.
For Dave:
