Wow, it’s been a while, and getting back into the forum (password reset) was more complex than for several of my online financial accounts. But I’m in, and by request, here are a handful of shots from the recent gathering hosted by Woodcrest.
This is a link to my SmugMug site. You can only see the gallery if you have the link, it is otherwise not public (OK, now I am happy that Steinberg secures the forum). At the Website link, you’ll find larger pictures than here in the forum.
Names are omitted to protect the innocent. I’ll leave it up to the folks in the photos to fess up with their IDs. Needless to say, I am behind the camera.
That is me sitting next to the lovely lady at the table. I wonder if we have more pictures than this. I know I snapped a few, but mine are all outside. I’m wondering if we have any pictures of mark up in front of the mics.
Trying to post from one’s phone is a pain. Fortunately, I’m back on my laptop.
We all had an awesome time! Kim got a chance to jump on the drums, and Sara (my daughter, not pictured) hung out in the control room playing piano through the MIDI controller in there.
It was awesome to see Glyn, his lovely wife, and Tom’s girlfriend again; and to finally (!!!) meet Mark Petruzzi! Plus, I got to make the acquaintance with two new musicians who were kind enough to lend their drumming expertise to the afternoon.
It was a pleasure to meet Mark after more than fifteen years knowing each other online.
And thank you, Tom for lending me this badass guitar for the day.
In fact, thank you Tom for hosting, equipping and playing cool acoustic bass for us all.
And thank you Larry for putting so much thought into organizing the event and setting up the details. One has to be dogged to herd cats. And did I say thoughtful?
Thoughtfulness rubbed off on all of us. Mark did a thought solo.
Here’s Wyatt and me practising.
But Mark and Larry carried the day with their thought duet.
Ok, here’t the first one of many! I miss you guys. I really love mixing this with the exception of the buzz that comes in in the latter portion of the song from the outdoor CFL that was on a timer!
If you guys want this private, let me know and I will make it so.
cheers for sharing. nice song too. listening to it at work, got distracted and found myself tapping my feet while tune was playing in the background. nice one!
Ha, thanks on the song. I forgot a whole verse, and sang the bridge wrong. It’s been years since I’ve played live, or that song! I am going to re-record it, as I don’t like the original—I like this spontaneous arrangement better.
