Recent gig
« on: May 18, 2023, 11:22:41 pm »
We did A Day In The Life at a bar a couple weeks ago.


The keyboard player is really really good.  He learned the orchestration.
The two crescendos allowed me to play just my E string and have my other hand free.
I know, there probably is no bass part for the crescendos on the recording.


Anyway,


The light switch for the bar was right behind me.  I had a free hand. 
I took my free hand and flicked the lights in the bar off and on and off and on during those parts.  Like furiously flicking it off and on.


Huge applause.  Dramatic effect.  Unique thing to see at a bar gig. For those brief moments I was the man.

Nothing.  Thx for reply.


Went to Milwaukee on Tues for this.
If they come to GA this might show reason to attend.

Great story. I have to say that first line sounds quite surreal: "We did A Day In The Life at a bar" as it's regarded as such a big production.
