Only Kev, Dave Rich and I were present in Room B.  Rich had a new Keyboard provided, Dave seemed to like the drums, not the cymbals, Kev's amp was moved close to the drums and I had a choice of two shitting amps, the Achilles heal of Studio B.   Besides that it's a good comfortable room.

Lots of traffic so I got in just at 7:00 but was set up ready to play the first song by 7:45 with a full taping regalia.  The smaller room and cooperation of the band really make it easy for setup and take down. 

It was a most fortunate evening in that Rich and I stopped at Broadstreet so Rich could give me an unreliable Mackie CR1604-VLZ 16 channel console.   While it does work it does have unreliable bussing as related to all the all the on-off buttons and assigning them to the mix or the bus.  With a little research I think I will find that this happens to lots of these boards and it needs a new ribbon cable.  That what preliminary research has turned up so far.  It does work though and is perfect for me so Thanks Rich!!!  I'll take the next broken one also.

I played drums during Here There Everywhere and Strawberry Fields while Dave played guitar.  We didn't end up doing this Beatles stuff as well as we did several weeks ago.  probably because of the unverified Beatles songs downloaded at the last minute that where not corrected by me so we got lost too many times on exactly when and what to do.  It was also really tough for the older eyes to read the fine courier print with the low lighting in Studio B

Till next Thursday or Tuesday still to be confirmed.

As I was thinking about the past 12 freaky years, I thought about all the extended family members, guests, and card-carrying freaks that wandered in and out of our fabricated reality over the years and thought I would try and list them. I hope the FBI doesn’t monitor this site.

How about Sandy Feder and Rich Friedman who have both played with us at least once. We have all the kids who played drums during the Hanukah show. How about some chick singer that sang with Larry Brent at one of the Paul Cohen Shows, I think. John Mclean "Carpetsteen" also played guitar with us a few times. How about Peter the Pseudo guy. Dave Berg and Rich Rothenberg. There have to be many more now that I have something to think about. Thank you to all how have made it all possible.

In voting for the "MVF Award", Most Valuable Freak, I cast my vote for Dennis who really gave us our freaky foundation. What a long strange jam it's been.

Congrats on the dozen. Don't forget 1) The Infamous Jerry Look-Alike-Guy's camera man who kept introducing "Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Jerry Garcia!" 2) Richie Haven's obnoxious grandson 3) Riley's crack girlfriend from 9th Avenue (Gindoff, you've been to her apartment) 4) Johnny Reisbaum aka "Spillboy"

If we count Lance, we have to count C-Cat. How about Kevin's Israeli moving friend who wore the shorts in the winter. I forget his name.
