BAND INFO

If the time i have set for you is not good please let me know as soon as possible We may or may not beable to change

To band members: First I would like to thank all band members ahead of time for coming and sharing your music with us. I hope that although you are not getting paid in $$ that you are getting compensated by a friendly audience and fun for all. I do know and appreciate the effort you all put in to prepare and bring your equipment etc. Although can't offer you $$ I will offer you free meat and food. Because you are bringing music for us you are not obliged to bring a dish but it is still appreciated if you do . Along those lines I will have extra meat available for you but you will have to watch the barbq and and get something off of it before it is consumed by the masses. Typically will have a ham, turkey and some tri tips. Pizza oven this year too. I apologize that I ussually have to much on my mind to be monitering the food but just ask howard and Fred the cooks for something and they can maybe try to make sure you get something.

Next I want to keep the music flowing and also allow some time for free form jamming. Though it seems I'm a little over booked. If you can be ready to perform at the alloted time and to quickly set up and reduce lag time this would be appreciated. The alloted time includes setup, tune-up and breakdown of your own equipment. Here again I may not be monitering this closely so would appreciate a group effort to stay organized. We will have a drum kit, Dons, a Premier set that I would like all drummers to use. Sure you can bring a couple of cymbals and a snare or something and bongos are cool....but i do not want to have a dragged out set up time. Same goes with the bass amp. I have a a Peavey combo210TX which blasts pretty well for the bass players and, this year 2012 we will have a Mesa Boogie monster bass amp , so really that should be good ,but Bass players can decide if they want to use that or bring their own... This should leave only those pickky guitarist who have to bring all their own equipment. Here again my Marshall (with new tubes and speaker!) will be available for any body to use and i have a Mesa Boogie too and I am sure there will be one of every type of amp and guitar if you dont want to bring yours. I also Have a Peavey 100 keyboard amp that is available and a marshall practice amp that blasts and could be miked. We will have plenty of vocal mikes and stands and will be miking guitars and drums and probably run a little bass throught the PA too.

We will have all the pa stuff thanks to varius friends and looks like my new tenant Jon will be setting up his PA which is pretty nice..His help in this area is really really appreciated and Everybody should thank him again. On that note please be kind to his equipment and if you need to do a mike swing (ala roger daltry) or a stage dive please bring your own mike etc to ruin. Dave V will be helping with a tent cover for the stage and lighting.

I am not responsible for the safety or security of your equipment.( except for who bring the PA) We have a friendly group and never a problem

Your welcome to drop off equipment Friday night if you want.
