yesterday afternoon/night i played a outdoor party/festival/jam. there were two bands proper(one of wich was mine) and the rest was all conglomerations of members of 3 0r 4 area cajun/zydeco groups plus two members of Curley Taylors band from Louisianna. as i was leaving the stage after our set, Corey Brossard(of curleys band) told me to stay and sit in on their set, so we were rotating musicians every 4 or 5 songs. it was great fun! i got to jam with a couple guitarists who we frequently share bills with. it was cool to play with guys you have watched and studied chatted with on many occasions!
but the coolest, COOLEST thing about the day was....i got to play through a Carr Rambler all night! it belonged to my friend Mark Trishka of the Slippery Sneakers band. WHAT A RIG! it has a 12 watt and a 20 watt setting(i used the 20 watt). i think maybe someday i'll save my pennies for one, but for now $1700 bucks is out of my leaugue! anyoo i really dug it and it was a great gig even with the low pay and lower temperatures!!
