Aint Yo Mama did a Ron Paul Benefit this past friday night, it was a blast, we played with 4 other groups, and had a lot of old friends show up, that we havent seen in a while.
Had a couple of former members of Aint Yo Mama show up, its the band that eats guitar players, LOL!
Heres a few pictures

cool stage & lighting. You guys look like you have a great time on stage. Wish I could see you perform ~ perhaps one day when my daughter doesn't require so much of my attention I'll take a road trip

This was at a place called the Stage Stop in Memphis Tn, I talked to Nita the owner and shes been running this place for 35 years. I used to play in there all the time with all sorts of bands.
The last time I played there with Aint Yo Mama was 98. Still had the same sound guy, same DJ, some of the same wait staff.
I got a Bloggie video camera and ran it for some of the set, but man I cant figure out how to edit this video and cut it up, without losing whatever I edit off, I made that mistake once before, I just need to really dig in and figure it out, I think of all the bands that played the other night we do look like we have the most fun.
BUt all in all I had a sloppy night. We do this original song called Dr Jack, and I have always had this one solo for it, kind of a takeoff of Page in Dazed and Confused, so the other day I was practicing and modifyed it with my whammy pedal and was doing these cool, whammy up licks, kinda sounded like a siren, well when we played it the other night, I was just in the wrong spot and had to improvise all the way thru.
We started with Killing In The Name, and I nailed that whammy solo, about as good as any time Ive played it, got the crowd really fired up.
