It doesn't matter that it is late, what is cool is that it is now... (Don't think about that, it doesn't make any sense )

Another year, another opportunity...

Have a great time you great people!

[next to nothing]

Thanks a lot

I'm finishing off a great day with a nice J and some patching

Alfonso, Buon Compleanno!

[dawman]

Yes Be Festive...
Modular patching is too much fun..........

[alfonso]

Thank you guys! I'm a bit recovering after the funny party....too much wine and I also took some cold ......but we had some funny jam there...with people being free to have some playing...the result was pretty far from professional but I captured with my zoom2 a couple of funny moments...the sound was totally misplaced in the stereo field but some M/S separation and re-mix, a tad of Adern's Fat Cat & Psy Q made it audible, although a double bass was not really captured in the recording and some saturation can be heard on the sounds going direct to a small mixer and a big home stereo...not ideal...but I played my strat in a Suhr Badger 18 I got recently wuth an astonishing lightweight 1x12 Dragoon cabinet with a Greenback...pure vintage bliss, nothing but a cable between the guitar and the amp. There were two guys sharing an hihat, a snare, a small floor tom and a couple congas with some brush sticks.
The key sounds where from a micro-ensemble the keyboard player brought. Two singers...the first one has such a powerful emission that saturated the mic...not bad though...it gives that vibe of the ancient blues recordings....
The music is a mix of blues stuff and momentary ideas, total impro....

As I said the musical level is not the highest, the brain level almost...you can understand how much fun we had!

Sounds very Mississippi ala Robert Johnson...
I like the harp player even though he's buried I can still hear the licks.
Guitar sounds good even w/o MoJo .........Ankyu.
The White Wedding Blues thing was catchy too.

I swear I hear harmonica licks in the mix....??
Sorry for the slang, over here the " Harmonica " is called a harp..

[siriusbliss]

Sounds like fun - in a sort of Doors sort of fashion.

Yep...I know that, I think it can't even be told as slang anymore, you find the word used on sleeves and pretty everywhere....but I swear there is no harmonica!

The "doors" feel is there a lot, many people said it, I think mostly for the organ sound and style (classical and jazz trained guy) and the groove...which comes out interesting as there are 2 very different drummers sharing few percussions...one of them is very bluesy, "sitting", and the other one, if left alone, is tendentially pointy and "british"....but the cool thing is that each one was doing his own blues, parts of a song mixed with riffs from other songs or just new....a blues salad with sparkling of hard rock and acid....
