Current mood:  blessed Category: Music
Last night (Stocks On Second in Harrisburg) was quite possibly one of best Groove Jones gigs ever. Why, you ask? I have some ideas.
1. The people were into it... no need to convince... they were there to have a good time.
2. Positive energy... lots of it... like kids at play.
3. New blood... Dan Bergman on guitar. New/Old Blood Tom Mumma on saxes.
5. J.K. had his game on .
We tried a lot of different things.
1. Scaled down PA, less feedback.
2. Shorter songs... not as many solos... everyone didn't take a solo in every song.
3. Many more songs than normal... because the songs were shorter.
4. No bass effects... people didn't seem to mind.
5. Mostly rhythm guitar... the cornerstone of Funk Guitar that sometimes gets lost.
6. Shorter breaks.... 10 minutes.
7. Mikey B.... dancin' HELL YEAH... Rod tryin' HELL NO:-))
8. An extended third set... mostly "by the seat of our pants"... never rehearsed... we ran out of songs:-)
New Songs:
Shake Everything You Got;
You Can Have Watergate (Vocal Riddim);
Proud Mary;
Get Ready...
As always, thanks for the party!!
