Uhhhhhh....Paging Mr. Vollo

Funkabilly Playboys "What is Hip?"

I took the Gibson amp in to get fixed and when it was done, I went in to pick it up and decided I needed new speakers. I got some Celestions put in and ran to rehearsal for Grizzled Jim (long story). Ran to soundcheck at Bamboom with Gibson in tow. It sounded great so I used it for the show. I also found out the show was SOLD OUT (!). That's quite an achievement. Sometime when I have time, i'll give you my review of it. This morning, I got a call from the amp tech at the Amp Shop who told me he tried to get in to hear the amp for a few minutes and they turned him away. He also told me this was in today's paper.

Not too shabby. I don't remember saying those words exactly and Bongo said most of it. Thanks to Judy Blem for dealing with the whole thing and providing this video from the show. I left there feeling not so good about our performance. I found out later that the staff was telling people to sit down when we were trying to get them up. I guess some of the staff were pretty nasty to people trying to get in. Bummer.

Nice to see ya, Mr. Vo-dee-oh-do.

Guitar and anti-depressants, eh? Sounds like a good combo. Oh, and nice pole.

Rockhead is more like it. For some strange reason, the words under the link don't show unless i highlight them. Weird!

I can't read them either. Maybe b/c you gave Bongo credit. :b

What was up with Bamboob Saturday? I felt like when we went to go see Dave Van Ronk and Thadra and I tried to get up and slam dance to "He Was a Friend of Mine." It wasn't appreciated. heh. Seriously though, it's a stuffy room, but you were awesome! Very fun night, Mr. Vollo.
