General Music Chat

I've loaded it corrrectly (I think) on my Profile Page. Here's the youtube address(Hope I get it right):

This was taken at the '09 Lions Den Open disc golf event. The great Dan Jones from Bluez 57 sat in with us (harmonica). Basically we were playing while disc golfers were playing all around us for two hours. This was the second year in a row we performed at this event. We have played at least a dozen various disc golf events over the years. It's always a blast.

I guess I didn't get it right on this post. I'm not very computer savvy. However just go to the fisherman bob Bandmix profile page. It should be on there correct. Enjoy.

Thats the correct link

Hey Ryan thanks for helping me out. Like I said, me and computers don't get along

Nice job, bob!

I do have on question, though - where's the bass lead?

Good question indeed. There SHOULD be one in the middle of the song. There actually was one in the beginning of the song but the video camera operator turned it on AFTER the solo was over. Dan Jones arrived late and plugged in his harmonica microphone in the middle of my missing bass solo. The levels weren't too bad considering. We never had time to do a sound check. That was the very first song of the gig. I guess it served as the sound check. The guitarist had only played with us maybe six times before this gig.
That was a real cool place to play. You can sort of see the rock wall behind us that is like a natural amphitheatre. We are now considered the "house band" for this event. Hope we still have a band together for it next year...At least we have one gig a year lined up!

Hat's off to ya, Bob. Great job of singing and keeping that walkin' bass line going. Wish the camera operator would have moved around getting better angles of the band. I know what a Peavey PA speaker looks like, just wonder what your guitarist looks like.

Enjoyed that Bob!

You guys had a good groove going, and the people movin' and tappin' their feet!

Good job brother!

The guitarist looks like Jimi Hendrix. Too bad he was "hiding" behind the speaker. The video operator was standing off to one side, could have been better if she took the video right in front of the band so you could see everybody. I didn't even know somebody took a video of us and then yesterday it appeared on the KCFDC (Kansas City Flying Disc Club) website (www.KCFDC.org). To give you a better perspective Dan Jones (harmoninca) was a tight end in football, he' about 6'4", maybe 250 lbs, I'm aboout 6'1" about 220 lbs, Michael Emanuel the guitarist is African AMerican maybe just short of 6' and I guess about 190lbs and our drummer is a short skinny guy about 130 lbs. I know it's hard to tell from the video what we all look like. I notice on a lot of amateur youtube videos the clarity isn't very good and the sound isn't very good. I think the microphone on the video recorder on this video picked up the high end (harmonica and cymbals) much better than the low end (bass).
This is a really good learning tool however. I'm going to try and get somebody to take some videos of us this coming Saturday. There might be too many people in the way. It's going to be very crowded.

Looking forward to it, bob.

SWEET !!

Looks like my kind of people Bob, Yea baby!
The bouncy vid kinda made me see sick. ( tuna joke )
I noticed the sound did not seem to vary much with the camera panning.
Did you record sound seperate?
Dang man I need to get some decent vid of my gigs.

That is kick ass Bob I really liked it. My foot was just a going here under our computer. Thats definately foot stompin music!

That just looked like too much fun !
ROCK ON!!!!


Another day in Paradise!!!

I believe the sound was not recorded separately. I'm not sure what kind of digital camcorder she used. The high frequencies (harmonica & cymbals) sounded better to me than the bass or vocals. The disc golf crowd is pretty much a bunch of hippies with a few rednecks thrown in who like to throw frisbees around and drink beer. It's a way more laid back crowd than ball golf (I've played both sports extensively). I really enjoy the disc golfers. One of the disc golfers was playing hacky-sack and he said it was the best hacky-sack music ever.
Thanks everybody else for your kind words. I'd really like to get some videos at all our future gigs. This coming Saturday might be the perfect venue to get one. Everybody keeps telling me they will be packed. We'll see.

You say that like it's a BAD thing.
Dang, pesky fans. Gettin' in the way of the camera.
