Re: Bells of the Evening - Uncle Putin
Yes, there was a lot happening and almost impossible to take it all in because of the overlapping etc., but I guess we have to make the best of what we have while it's there.
After we got checked into our hotel etc., Paul Bartlett and I connected at the "Brownstone Pub" where there was an open mike and we had a ball there. The bartender was also the sound guy and a good one let me say. He was most accommodating and gave us a really nice even balance on our instruments.
I think we ended up doing probably a forty five minute set. We were having such a great time up there.
Paul as you probably know was trained by Red Shea as a lead guitar player so for me to have that calibre of accompaniment backing me up was a most joyous feeling.
I guess also being there in Gord's hometown and having the privilege of playing his songs on a live stage in front of an appreciative audience would sow an incentive to strut your stuff best you can. I'm still high from that wonderful experience.
Yes, Steve is a very nice man. I was fortunate to meet him backstage and have a short discussion. Very talented entertainer and very present on stage.
Sandman is calling.
