Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

From this past weekend.

You can see the pa stacks behind me and to the left you can see the little POD unit Im using for gigs now.

Also a picture of the full band posing!

Nice shoes lol

O.K. you know a Texan is going to say I like your boots and that Les Paul looks mighty perty yeah buddy!

Thanks Ive had those boots for 20 years theymust be some good ones.

Early in the night no one wants to dance so we get on the dance floor and do all our rock star moves.

Later in the night say 11 or so people cover the dance floor and then I can just kind of hang around the room.

This place has 2 rooms and I went to the front bar and sat on a stool played a song, drank a beer, and talked to a couple of folks. These folks dont know what to think of me.

I guess 34 yrs of playing you can play subconsciously.

NICE PICS KEEP ROCKIN.



PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JW - are those leather pants I see? Dude! How '80's!

I just wish you'd look more like you're having a good time. man! LOL

Good to see these. Keep 'em coming!

Hey JW,
Looks like ya were cookin' so hot that ya needed a REAL fan to stay cool!
I use a pair of Peavey International 15,s bi-amped in stereo along with a single 18' Black Widow 4 ohm for subs. (Sound Tech x123 crossover) I recently scored a cheap Beringer12 channel rack mixer with FX.
I run my keyboards direct into the P.A. and haven't used any other amps for my synths for decades. (works fine )

Lately, I've been noodelin' around with my ol' Fender Mustang direct through the P.A. and I'm surprised how good it sounds. It doesn't surprise me that you're getting good results with your ampless setup by taking advantage of modern technology.

as always,
Keep on rockin'
Howlin'

I always enjoy the pictures.
Keep Rockin!

Nice pics, good to see ya out there jammin'.

J-Haley that is a nice Les, JW has managed to find a couple that don't have baseball bat necks, I played them for a minute or three when I was there and they all play really well. Didn't plug in, but they sound good unplugged, so I'd bet they sound good amped too. And the ones without stickers all over 'em look great too. Sorry JW, I just had to

Heres a few more shots

Bill you know I love stickers. They protect the finish. Im not nice to my gig guitars. Those big belt buckles really did into the back of all my guitars.

You notice the brown Paul has no stickers. Its one of my favorites and I brough it out the past weekend. It still sounds great and has the best neck of any guitar Ive got.

LOL, LOL, The pink body suit. LOL. Did he steal it from his sister.
Sorry man, I'm just a little square I guess. LOL, Ya,ll slay me sometimes.

George,

Thats all right, a reaction is better than no reaction to me.

We just try to have fun, and the singer and myself try to dress a little different than if we just came in from work. When I see bands I like to see them dress up a little.

Kevin could lose the pink thou Ha Ha .............................

I never had leather til recently, the other night I went out to eat all gusseyed up, you should have seen the looks I got. The family behind us was saying stuff like look what the cat drug in, their daughter was with them and had seen us play a few weeks ago and said Mom, thats that guitar player I told you about, before it was over I was signing autographs on napkins. Funny stuff

Now if this old man can just start getting some cheese

Hey all I can say is go with the flow and have fun with it!

For sure my man. It's out there for the whole world to see.
You guys are having fun.
Thats an awsome thing bro. ROCK ON !!!

LOL... just do yourself a favor, John... If ever you play in my neck o' the woods... keep your shirts closed and whatever you do, do NOT let your singer wear any of the above outfits just for safety's sake! We have a very tough crowd out here and open shirts and pink outfits would definitely cause the band some serious problems even if your music is incredible! Sorry to say... but the ratio of guys to girls that go to there clubs is 2 to 1 and the last thing that these guys wanna see are open shirts and pink attire! The only one that usually takes his shirt off once in a blue moon is the drummer on hot summer days and most of his friends in the audience are all biker dudes and don't give him too much flack about it!

Crip, The ratio here is chicks 3 to 1 to guys. But hey I'll keep that in mind. My shirt ussually gets undone by some chick unless its hot as hell. Also I shared this elsewhere but all the gals like to rub my head for luck. The things I put up with for rock n roll,
