In Other News...

Wednesday:  My AM church gig held a paid soundcheck so that our new sound guy could get a feel for the room, the system, and the band.  He had the PA pretty cranked--I wonder if he'll be able to do that on Sunday.  I guess I won't know, since I'll be riding home from Savannah...

Friday:  Yacht Rock played the Mito benefit that we've played for the past few years.  Not too bad of a gig, without any kind of hellacious load in, and the sound was provided.  Show up and play for us.  Of course, it's an art gallery with concrete floors and a metal ceiling, so it sounds like we're playing in a parking garage, but the scenery (both on the walls and the dance floor) was very nice.  Ganesh subbed on drums.

We had feedback through almost the entire second set--a B natural.  It fit in well with several of our selections.



Big excitement:  Monkey brought his new guitar, a Gibson 333.  Pretty cool.  He played it for the first half of the first set before switching to his regular Bob Grosh with the P90s, which he claims is currently so well set up (he just had it repaired/set up) that he can hardly play it.
