Couple of photos from a gig last night.

Place we played has a really nice patio where the stage is set up. Keyboard on the right is basically a digital version of a B3. Our keyboard player has a vintage B3 with a Leslie rotary, but man that thing is heavy! The SK1 produces a great substitute sound, and nice piano patches, plus nobody gets a hernia moving it around! Pretty much Fender guitars for the band, although our lead guitarist likes to pick the Les Paul for a few tunes.


Me with my stage rig. That's the Rat Bastard on top of the PA head. Adopted him at a Halloween party some time back and he accompanies us to all our gigs now.

Fun to play and really thumps. Not a great slapper the way it's set up, but I don't get too much call for that with the tunes we play.

Damn, why do you have to be so far away?

I would love to hear you and your band...

These pictures are too cool! Rat Bastard makes me smile!

Thanks for sharing!

I did roadie work for them, and you're right, the sucker is heavy.

You should post some tunes with your pix.

I had to "one eye it" after all the beers. Strictly back, dirt roads.
It was great, guys I hadn't rehearsed with in a while-- came off clean. Big fun...
