I think that should be 1 keyboard player/musical genius. 1 keyboard player/drummer and Tim will need to learn the madolin. I've been seriously looking at buying a bass (I've already got a practice amp from the Ruby Drake days).

well, i kinda had my heart set on 2 drummers a la the incarnation of the band that we saw at the masonic temple...i don't quite know if i could fill levon's mandolin shoes though. the band tunes have more than c d and g in them you should definitely try to score a bass though...you are the grrovemeister

and ya dave, 2 keys players would be ideal, but even one seems to be hard to come by. let alone a musical genius. paging teeterville station...ryan, are ya out there? 'ersh? anyone?

guys like easu and bradm are the glue that keep this live music loving community together...yay esau!

I'd be interested in playing as well. I've been working my way through all the bands tunes as I "re-learn" how to play my guitar. I'd even play some bass if need be.

P.S love the name

all right snail! welcome to the best timewaster on the planet!

so all we need now is keys. paging a keyboard player with a deep love of The Band...keyboard player with a love of The Band please pick up the white courtesy phone

Let's see if it works for the Vatican.

ach! aussehen wie es!

you know, i think that may have been it. i'm getting very bad with recalling dates that things happenned. thank goodness for deadbase it could easily have been nine or ten years ago...his son was playing with him, what a great evening that was...glad to hear that arlo's still going strong!

i think that was the first non-smoking bar show i was ever at. either he had just quit, or was coming to realize the hazards of it, but he very nicely (and effectively, i thought) asked people to go into the front room to smoke. now people are shivering out on queen street for a smoke all the time

hey chuck, great poster! good luck on saturday, i hope you have an incredible turnout...niffermouse and i can't make it, but would like to help...can people donate cancer $$ through you guys?

we went to see the dead in buffalo some time in the late 80's or early 90's and realized that our crappy last minute late booked serviced site in the state park meant we could take electric instruments. so we loaded up a bass, guitar, amps, and a small version of a drum kit along with tents and coolers and headed out.

big mistake.

after an hour of hanging about nervously behind door number one at customs, they took us each in for separate interviews. They then told us that if we did not have reciepts for the purchase of our instruments that they may be confiscated upon re-entering Canada. we finally convinced them that we were in fact not playing a gig but going camping, they let us enter the US.

i wouldn't want to try that or any variant now. from all the responses to this thread, looks like to only way to do it is nice and legal-like

arlo is amazing. i saw him at the horseshoe six or seven years ago, and it was great. totally natural showman, very charsimatic, and has musically still got it!

i sent my brother in vancouver a ticket for this show for his birthday, when i talk to him this weekend i'll have to see if his review is as glowing as yours, stonemtn's thanks for posting this! i think you posted the original announcement in cavern west, that's how greg found out about it...very cool!

how does it sound compared to conventional speakers, i wonder? is it true that vin diesel invented it?

from the article ..."The piezoelectric transducer emits sound at frequencies above the human ear's 20,000-cycle threshold. Unlike low-frequency waves, the high-frequency signals don't spread out as they travel through air. Yet they do interact with the air to induce a related set of ultrasonic waves. These waves combine with the original waves, interfering to create an audible signal, focused into a beam.

The applications are numerous, if not apparent: Thousands of soda machines in Tokyo will soon bombard passersby with the enticing sound of a Coke being poured, and several U.S. supermarkets will promote products to shoppers as they walk down corresponding aisles. Eventually HyperSonic Sound might enable a nightclub to play disco on one side of the dance floor and salsa on the other. Ambulances equipped with hypersonic sirens could clear the streets without waking the neighbors. Norris' company, American Technology, sells the devices for $600."

great.

the best thing they could think of to do with this is to sell more Coke. *sigh* even better, this one..."Using Sound as a Weapon."

wow.

i hereby pledge to stop complaining about my job really the only thinng i have to complain about is the engineers who design the things i have to then work out how to build...i work for a small metal fabrication shop owned and managed by a very good friend. i have my own corner office, albeit with a view of mississauga factory hell, but at least there's lots of natural light. i can listen to music, i have blisteringly fast internet access, and occasional lunches with the boss.

right on deb, you pretty much said it. this is the means by which we all are able to do the things we love...and way to go dr evil, way downtown helped me decide to leave my last job in a cubicle farm!

deeps, this is a great thread. glad you decided to try the positive approch, hope things get better.

or you win the lottery and if you do, share it with hamilton and get him out of a life of drudgery

niffermouse and i are celebrating earth day with her mom as it's also her birthday! hope everyone has a blast tonight, if diesel dog's on the bill you'd have to actively work at not having fun...

And I got to witness your return even!

Just like a tree, you can always go away, but you can never leave.

i wish that i had my camera when i saw you & ricky together again...glad you're back, lex! but nowhere near as glad as ricky

That is a really nice looking site.

I think "Chatham" is misspelled though.

hehehe...leave it to a lawyer to find the error

finally watched this all the way through with niffermouse lat night...what an amazing bit of film!

despite the re-election of Carlos Menem, there is a network of collectively managed, worker owned factories re-appearing in argentina...and they are all making deals to support and buy from one another!

global capatalism hasn't steamrolled the planet yet, so long as there are people like the argentines at the head of the occupation movement out there....

way to go low roller! sounds like a good gig...money and control over your working conditions!

Everybody get your tea and coffee orders in so I know how much to bring (sorry, I don't don espresso type coffees).

woo hoo paan! a cup of tea would make niffermouse's night, and sign me up for coffee (although extra stimulants might be a bit unneccessary )...you are very cool to do this! look forward to seeing you there!

how cool is it that this show is the banner ad?

cheers to backbacon and bouche!

....to put together a set of Band tunes for a show sometime later in the summer. thanks to the collective creativity of the fine folks in Friends of Hefner for the inspiration for a name...

"The Cover Band."

i'd happily fill one of the drum chairs, i know that Dr Evil Mouse would add a guitar to the mix, anyone else out there with as love of the Band and a handle on their catalogue?

thanks to the lovely niffermouse, harvard mouse has a new home on the web . it's still under construction, but it's shaping up to be extremely cool. to all the people at shows who ask us how we got our name, check in for ranting, raving, music, and gig announcements!

Special thanks to Timmouse for sitting in for the second set & encore; I'm the luckiest guy in the world with double drummers going full-tilt in stereo behind me! Looking forward to to when we do this again!

Two drummers ... yum yum ... I was lucky enough to experience it for one song when Aaron sat in with the mice for Hey Pocky Way (thanks Aaron!) ... I felt like I was in the centre of the universe' date=' nestled comfortably in a uterus close to Uranus. :laugh:

And from a dancer's perspective, two drummers = infectious beats for the feet!

Peace, Mark

levon helm said in his book that he figured that the drummer's chair was the best seat in the house, and after friday night, i'd hafta agree

aaron helped harvard mouse take hey pocky way to the next level, and i had such a blast during rose garland's set! those guys really know how to groove, and thanks to chuck's killer sound setup it felt like i was nestled on stage with the real thing

thank you again to everyone that made friday's show happen, and happy 40th birthday to newly bald daveymouse!

see you all in chatham!

Yup. Check out the article by clicking "Full Story Here" (above)...

After the Hackford documentary, Mr. Johnson played with such artists as Richards, Bob Weir and Eric Clapton, and toured from Scandinavia to Australia despite a fear of flying. He appeared on guitarist Buddy Guy's 1994 Grammy-winning blues album, "Slippin' In."

i have a bad habit of missing the "story" link in posts...this same inattention to detail had me believeing your april fools day post

thanks for posting the article....

tim

What a blast folks! Harvard, you guys sounded great. And we gotta get that drum thing happening at shows in Hamilton, it gets everyone so rev'd up.

You know it's been a good night when your body is sore from dancing, your hands are sore from drumming, and your liver packs it's bags and leaves.

I especially liked it when that bus load of cougars showed-up.... I suddenly felt like a lamb in the slaughter.

Thanks to Chris and MaxWebster for the hang-out spots... both days... almost stayed another night!

Until the next one freaks...

glad to have gotten to talk to you, paan, glad you had a blast! the drums are an amazing addition, keeps the grooooove flowing all night...both niffermouse and i are sore and tired today, but grinning...see ya in chatham!

this one's my favourite. it's been my wallpaper at work all week.

didn't weir play with johnnie johnson for a while after jerry died?

Sorry, you're skipping a show you would otherwise consider attending because musicians you dislike play the same venue?

Although I don't get the logic, does it change your opinion knowing that Steve Winwood is also playing there this summer?

i hadn't actually thought of it that way...it's really more to do with the whole casino atmosphere. what was dr evil's phrase? human fungability? casinos give me the willies generally, and knowing that 90% of the entertainment they serve up is, well, somewhat on the cheezy (and pricey!!!) side...i think i'd rather see them in bob's country bunker

having said that, i might consider it if it's the original band...and dan ackroyd plays a mean harp! he sat in with levon helm and the barnburners a couple years ago in toronto and it was brilliant.

and steve winwood is no slouch either, i'd just be afraid of getting there on the wrong night and seeing Bjorn Again

(casino-related shudder)
