Thanks for making this show happen Daveymouse. I certainly had a fun night. The Harvard Rat experiment went well I thought, and I can see it happening again.

King Roller played a nice set of "psychedelic country rock" with a mix of covers (ABB, Dead, etc.) and originals. These guys are solid ... check 'em out if you have the chance.

And it was a special treat seeing GUITARZAN and M out at this show.

Peace, Mark

What an awesome story Jeff! Thanks for sharing!

I'm guessing that at some point in the future I'll be reading a similar post by some young keyboard player talking about meeting and recording with you.

Peace, Mark

Happy extra-belated birthday wishes Cary!

Peace, Mark

Nice to read that you had an excellent concert experience Anne!

Peace, Mark

Thanks for the review Steve ... much appreciated! If last night's show is topped by tonight's show, I expect you'll be writing a book!

Peace, Mark

Bluesfest!

That's a great idea!

Peace, Mark

If I can't find a bobblehead i'll just get Mark to stand still and shake his head. )

Time to start practicing for this gig!

Hilarious!

I could only stay for the first set but I loved what I heard. I really enjoyed "Trying To Never Know" which I think is a relatively new song.

Long live the Fatties!

Peace, Mark

Ditto on the "great night last night" theme!

I've always loved Diesel Dog's song "Dirt Road" and it was nice to hear the Steve Elmo Diesel Dog version of the song.

Professor "Louie" can carry a song! He's an excellent singer and he sure can play the Hammond organ and the accordian. I've never heard "accordian feedback" before! All of the players in the band were solid, and the 3 part harmonies were sweet!

There's nothing quite like a party upstairs at the Lanc with a bunch of friends!

Peace, Mark

I remember sleeping in the tent at Izzy's and waking up to them playing Blind Willie McTell - got me out of my tent right quick!!

I was already at the stage when they started playing Blind Willie McTell and I remember thinking "timouse should be here as he loves The Band and this song." The next thing I know I see timouse hurrying toward the stage to check out what was going on.

Yes it's a Dylan song, but it is on The Band's cd Jericho, which was co-produced by Aaron L. Hurwitz (Professor "Louie"). I'd love to hear it again.

Looking forward to Friday night!

Peace, Mark

Very cool Tim! I remember talking with you about this; nice to read that it's now happening.

I look forward to meeting Itchy and Scratchy at some point.

Peace, Mark

Nice! Way to go Mud, and thanks for sharing Blair!

Peace, Mark

Nice to read that you'll be around these parts playing some music M.G.C. This looks like it will be a blast ... I hope I can swing it! Mark, Mike, Todd and Eric ... 4 killer guitar players!

Peace, Mark

How much are tix anyways?

$10 at the door for this show (I think). When I get confirmation of the price I'll let people know.

Peace, Mark

Bumpin' this show because I love the Fatties!

Peace, Mark

Great job Mark, hope to make it out to this.

As much as I'd like to take the credit for bringing this show to KW, Diesel Ryan (aka sam stone) and his business partner Tony deserve most of the credit. Having said that, thanks for the kind words, and hopefully you'll be able to make it out for to this show.

Peace, Mark

Sounds good.

Maybe this makes it a yes baby, yes?

Excellent show announcement Mike.

Sunday Dec 20th eh? Sound like a good way to end autumn.

Count me in.

Hopefully you can make it on Saturday Dec 20th, as Sunday Dec 20th isn't until 2009 and it would be nice to see you before then!

Peace, Mark

she'll tell ya she's 30 for the next 5 years

I'm hoping she ends up jamming with the band and dancing around the Lanc playing Professor Louie's keyboard.

Peace, Mark

:thumbup:

If I'm in Toronto that early, I'll do my best to be there (probably with a small taping rig).

Aloha,

Brad

Somehow I missed this post the first time I read this thread ... it would be very cool to see you in this part of Ontario Brad!

Peace, Mark

Hmmm ... this will undoubtedly be a lot of fun!

Peace, Mark

Time to bring this thread back into circulation, as show time is fast approaching!

Peace, Mark

Looking forward to another fun night at the Lanc!

Peace, Mark

Thanks for sharing the story Mike. I've heard it before in a general way, but it's nice to read some more details about it. I look forward to seeing/hearing you and Todd at the Boathouse. And edger, it will be wonderful seeing you in town.

Peace, Mark

Although I can't be of much help to you (sorry)... I hope this event goes off well for you!! (vibes...) fwiw.

Ditto.

Good luck with this venture Jay!

Peace, Mark

I walked in to the Boathouse 5 minutes before Fista's guitar playing adventure. She was dancing up front, and Big Gilson came out onto the dance floor and got her to start strumming on his guitar in time with the band. That was lots of fun, but only the beginning. He then strapped his guitar onto Fista, and standing right behind her, he had her jamming and playing lead guitar with the band. He then proceeded to walk her to the back of the Boathouse, out the back door and around the building, and all this time Fista (with Big Gilson's help) was wailing on the guitar and jamming with the band. There were huge smiles everywhere as Fista and Big Gilson finally walked in through the front door, guitar-a-blazing and totally in synch with the band. What a blast! Hopefully some pictures will surface soon!

Bravo to Fista for going with the flow and shredding on guitar in a big way! Fista rocks!!

Peace, Mark
