Wow …
After a full equipment set-up with my NEW Mackie 8 channel ProFX board, my JBL monitor (room doesn't require a large speaker), my Beta SP microphone, Line 6 Wireless G-30 Rig, Acoustasonic 150 amp, Martin D-42 and my Stelling Sunflower with the Jet Black Kavanjo Banjo head … everything was in working order, and I knew what to plug in and where to plug it in. I packed it all up put it into my Chevy Van and headed out to the 4Points Barbecue and Blues House for my evenings gig.
Oh yeah …
… in a nut shell, had a blast.
The set-up was quick and easy, the sound coming out of the system was sweet. The smell of amazing BBQ permeated the air and with a sip or two from my Winterport Winery Blueberry Wine I was ready to go …
Truth be told, it was a light turn out but a nice group of folks. Many stayed way after their meals were finished to join in with the "singing" …
I played for two hours straight … because … took a ten minute break, played another hour and then, shortly before closing time a group of folks came in, placed their orders and I decided to stay until they were done. That was - as long as they wanted to hear some tunes - they did, I stayed. I even invited one of the folks to have a little "jam" on a song or two. They were having a blast.
… and to top off the evening Dameon (my aka magic side came out) threw in a couple of card tricks just to "blow their minds".
Ah yes, even with the Sochi Olympics competition … a good time was had by all at the 4Points BBQ in Winterport Maine.
Can't wait for my next gig there, which is March 14th (a Friday).
See you then …
