Tuesday, February 11, 1997 Notes | First Set | Second Set | Food | Weather | Last Revised: 07 Feb 2006 11:54:13 -0800. First Set Foolish Heart--> Victim or the Crime The Wheel--> All Along the Watchtower--> He's Gone--> Wharf Rat Mama Tried--> Mexicali Blues Loser Box of Rain Second Set Shakedown Street Little Red Rooster Last Time --> Bertha Notes: This Page is What Kevin's been asking for. I knew I could get Kevin's pages on the web no problem but it is now easy so here Kevin, you have it. I recent hooked the scanner up to my computer instead of Andy's. Scanning is now a pleasure. Hope you like it. It put more preasure on you. It's fun to write up a web page after the jam again. Thanks to the greatness of our first Republican President, I have off from work tomorrow and can stay up and enjoy the posting. Coupled with the fact that I solved my significant computer freezing problems (Larry B. knows of them because they happened when we worked on his Access entry program) by resetting all the mouse settings back to their defaults ( let that be a lesson to all of you who use mouse settings, screen savers and other unnecessary video related novelties), and a new fast 33.6 modem, this posting will be relaxing and simple like it should be. Good to see Dennis in town Jonathan Spillboy in town bring the Jack. He's learning how to make friends. He won Kevin over with creative desserts and he's now working on me with the old stand-by. Also showing up for his first visit to our humble abode was Bill Siegel, owner of Rugs To Riches in Flemington, NJ. He really seemed to get mesmerized by the experience, got sucked up into it. And who could thank Freakboy enough for his dedication and effort and most importantly Freakiness. The full tye-die with the vest makes for one Freaky outfit. General Comments About The Jam Larry M. had the bad back and was lying on the floor between songs, like Charles Barkley. Also like Sir Charles, he made it through in the clutch for a fine performance. We were great once again

First Set Comments:

• The first set started with second set tunes and feels.
• The set list called for a Don't Ease Me In to close the first set but we never got to it. The rest of the set was played according to the list
• Foolish/Victim I though was sloppy, it was difficult to start up quickly but they did have their good moments, Larry M. and Rich seemed to really like them. God bless them for it.
• 4 song combo followed and it was powerful and filled with varying feels. The Watchtower was hot, as were all four songs.
• Mama Mex was good, not the frantic tempo we have been playing cowboy songs at. It was appropriate.
• Powerful and sentimental Loser
• The "Let Kevy Sing" chat came out for the Box but he step aside and let Larry sing.

Name: KEVIN
Comments: We really have entered a new phase in our playing style and I like it. "Maximum Groove" it seems as if we 've got the "diga-diga-diga" thing down! Not only is it impressive, but it's fun. Great effort by LarryM ( better living through pharmacology ).

Second Set Comments:

• A excellent Shakedown. The song was played sweetly and the jam had good moments, I was breaking in and out of C9ths for a slightly different feel and it worked I think.
• We almost aborted the Rooster and I am glad we didn't. It was one of our best even though Johnny could barely take it. I think I saw him sulk. I was feeling unusually comfortable with my slide and sound during the Rooster and therefore pulled the unusual move of abandoning it during my lead and playing a normal lead. It actually felt really good to do. It's very liberating to just crank up the tubes and let it rip.
• A Friend of the Devil was supposed to be played after the Rooster but it was discarded due to time constraints.
• We played a very solid Last Time in the spirit of a song to be played at that time of the night
• The Bertha was Johnny's favorite song of the night, it was big and small, either one just the size of a cannon ball. In all honesty, it was just smoothly played, with Larry B. and I trading Chinacat riffs throughout the whole thing. In addition, Kevin pulled off the Madame Curie effect by having an empty bottle of Dr. Pepper fly off of the table with now help except for his sonic waves. It was pretty cool to see it jump.

 Half Time Food & Comments:

• The Trio, it was fair. The knots were under cooked but filled with flavor. Sicilian pie with sausage was good. Chicken rolls and stromboli. We have had better but who is complaining. There was very little room to eat at due to all of the garbage that was surround us. C&D waste never stopped Deadstein from eating.
• Desserts by Johnny Spillboy and a fine job. He's learning the cherry pie trick.

Comments: Even though I was coming down off a recent pizza vomit, the Trio was enjoyable. Spillboy has solidly spilled his way into our hearts and stomachs. He has entered into full apprenticeship as a freak under our mastery. Mazel tov Spillington.

Weather

• It was only a little chilly in the room, the only heat we had was Kevy's heater, good to see it's re-emergence and outr bodies, and it was plenty hot. Weather was not an issue.
