First Set: Jack Straw, Birdsong and Mama Tried was settling in time for us because after that we were settle when we played the Bertha. I think it was the best music of the night, Scarlet Fire was close, but the Bertha really showed out maturity from six years ago. Actually, I am sure every song showed a great deal of maturity. Stranger Franklin's was very good. I think we had a different type of Stranger jam that was closer to the model than we usually go for. It was good. Franklin's started nicely and had a boppy sound and while the tempo wasn't fast, it was adequate and sustained through the song. The ending of the Franklin's was right on. Scarlet was well played, the little F# break in the middle had some interesting didlies. The jam was real together, not spacey, but just very scarlet, tempo was right on again and it was enjoyably airy. The transition in Fire was perfect and we sustain a true Fire groove through the first half of the song but by the third verse it digressed and lost the true feel. In deciding how to chop the first set we chose the Shakedown over the proposed Playing or Let it Grow. It was ordinary at best but the jam had a good ending into the closing.

Second Set: After big eating and a trip to the east side for some quality deli and appetizers the second set wasn't going to be easy but the grease on my finger form the pastrami really helped me slide along the guitar neck. We started with the Playing, originally proposed for the first set. It was good. The song was good and the jam was true playing, spacey in Playing time and was a lot of fun. That is what playing in the band is all about isn't it? The Playing went right into the China/Rider just like a Swiss watch, perfect timing. The China Rider didn't thrill me. The morning Dew was pretty good up to the final jam which droned a bit, but is probably pretty good on tape. Sugar Mag was poorly done. Out of a place and in hindsight, a bad choice.

I see Larry G. has the ability to remove erroneous comments at will...espescially when they're his. The rest of us have to suffer with bad spelling, gaffs, etc.

Do you guys do Unbroken or Lost Sailor yet? How about Sittin On Top? Or King Soloman's Marbles?

How about Kashmir? or Since I've Been Lovin' You?(F-boy can sing it)

Enjoy the long w/e boys!

In response to Katzman. It's good to have Spidie Sense. Actually it's a slight pain to do so and I don't like to do so from the priciple of it. When I see double posting, I'll erase it just because it is a weakness in my abilities I haven't solved yet.

We have started to to sailor recently, that is it, we have done our first two recently. Do a search on Lost Sailor! We haven't done the rest. Hey what are the chords after the line, "Been to long at sea" and before "Now the shoreline beckons . . . ".

Thanks.

Do you still program in VB? I have and I now hate it! email me about it (lgindoff@world2u.com)

I must post my praises to Dr. Larwence W. Brent for taking care of me and my girl in our dental needs. He is a true professional who has a wonderful chair-side manner. Completely sensitive to the "inner-wuss" of his patient, he makes a trip to the dentist easy and comfortable...well worth the 75 miles I had to travel. His office is staffed with courteous and professional assistants, and the facilities are mordern.

I cannot recommend the guy enough. He is a pro in EVERY sense of the word. MK

 Half Time Food:

Larry and Larry (B & G) took a trip to the Second Avenue Deli for pastrami and hot dogs. Well worth the journey. The rest of the crew took care of the fort having the Memphis Trio, on a Monday. Well done sausage pie, good review, heroes, garlic bread and stromboli. Good food was had by all. Topped of with a fine selection of Drakes products. I still and belching up the pastrami as I sit here typing. It was soft like butter on rye and not too salty.

Weather:

Same as last week. Perfect. The weather in the room was very comfortable as early autumn provides just a few weeks of true comfort in the room.
