Hey nice job bob

That harp player was tearing it up too

There might be too many people in the way. It's going to be very crowded.

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

I hope a few of those who show up BECOME fans. I doubt too many of them will know anything about us. Next Saturday is the Spring Hill Fall Festival day and there's thousands of people who attend that event and then stop at the bar after the event. Hopefully we can bring some of our own crowd. I know there's a bunch of musicians who are going to show up and bring their axes to sit in with us at different times. This place is SMALL. It might be one of the smallest places I've ever played in...

Rockin' Bob! And welcome to the youtube posting club!! It's a great "venue"! man your harmonica player is tearin' it up!! And I know how hard it is to be rock solid on the walking basslines AND sing! Great vid!

Actually it's EASIER for me to play a fast walking bass-line and sing at the same time. At that point my hands are on auto pilot. It's those slow sparse bass-lines that are toughest for me to play and sing at the same time (like Freddy King's Same Old Blues). It's HARD to keep the timing of the sparse bass-lines and the vocals. Playing bass fast and singing is easy for me...The harmoninca player is Dan Jones from Bluez 57. He has sit in with us on a few occasions. We have a brand new harp player who is getting ready for our first gig Saturday. Dan Jones might show up Saturday as well (hope he does).

I liked Bob & the Tuna Boys ever since I first heard that radio broadcast last year.

However....

It's always cool to actually SEE a performance.

Good job Bob.

(Dan's definitely the man on harp, to bad you couldn't shanghai him for a permanent spot in the band, )

tight lines and good fishin',
Howlin'

Dan Jones fronts his own band. He's been working real hard getting it together and I think they are ready to gig. I believe thay play more variety of genres and are looking at better paying gigs (business functions, weddings, etc.) He's always welcome to play with us, he might be showing up this weekend. I think he's still got a profile page on Bandmix (Bluez 57), he's located in Kansas. I don't think he's been active on Bandmix like me. I'd like to get him into the studio when we finally record, although there's a lot of other people I've played with over the years who I'm going to try and get into the studio to add some of their playing to our mix. I'm even tempted to get a hold of a few people I played with years ago in New Jersey to see if they can add some tasty solos at a studio in New Jersey.

Yeah, gotta do somethin' about them fans. Nice video, fisherman.

Hey! If Dan Jones & Mary got together, they'd be "Black & Bluez 57" wouldn't they? Or would they be "Black & Bluez 114?"

Okay...it's late...I'm shutting up now...

Actually Dan is already married and I believe his wife plays drums in his band. I believe Mary would be out of luck in this case. (But maybe she could play flute in his band.)

Mary's married too, ya know. I think this time Philby meant "got together" in a band situation. Black and Bluez 57, harmonica and flute. WHAT A BAND!!

I love videos like this, wish I was there with a beer. I don't think your shoes matched your shirt but thats ok, the music was great.
