the mando arrangement for some of the other tunes played was at times also interesting...EMR, for loving me, CRT, rainy day people (oh, it worked quite well there), DQ, SFAWN, alberta bound (big sing along version)

i was not intending to tape and only had the old cam with me cos it was a 'new' family outing and that usually means there's usually some sort of digital recording device present...i couldnt even see the last skool play cos there were so many parents standing up taking vids or pics, insane

anyhow, i had that camera mostly positioned under my ball cap on my legs cos i wasn't sure if there would be Massey like camera police there...I dont think Bob really would care...i sent him a note telling of my posting this, no word back yet but i'm sure he'd be please with the kinds words

lastly...regarding the derriere and cut away comments:
when anyone may have viewed the Massey gathering jams videos from 2006 or 2008, they may have wondered why i would cut away to photos at certain odd points (ie. just as a key moment in the song or solo arrives)...those cutaways are not by choice but necessity due to many butts passing (no pun) in way of the lens and often staying put there until i subtely cough, ahem

once i was set up enroute to the Delta suite washroom and the other was at back of the pub where patrons came and went so it was really my bad location choice at fault, not all the derriere owners

in this case, rm, you might notice that person had a camera on strap around their shoulder...they actually walked in front on my lawn perch and set up right in front of me for the next tune and that's when i just decided to put mine away and just enjoy the rest of the show with jr...ok, no one really asked but that is the long answer...
