For those of us who are Canuckleheads, we remember that one week ago was our Canada Day Celebrations (and for those of us who are a tad older, we may even recall when it was called Dominion Day....). Our band did a portion of a show in the park featuring music from the 50's to the 80's, and we did the last section just prior to the fireworks display starting. Following a great 50's-60's band, then a band featuring three gorgeous women and covering 70's material that included funk and disco hits, is not an easy task to do. We benefitted from the fact that the few thousand who had braved the cold (it was quite cold and windy that night) to see the fireworks became our captive audience!
Anyway, the boss and kids came down to see both the old guy play onstage and the fireworks, and a friend brought a videocamera. So, for your viewing pleasure, and almost certainly guaranteed to make you spit out your coffee (or bevvy of choice), here is the link:

I am playing my DD AL - for some reason I never seem to see any still shots of me with the AL, and those who provide pics for our website never seem to get pics of me playing anything by my Axis...odd. Well, here is animated proof that she gets out and gets played onstage.
Now the disclaimer:
1) yes, I know the jacket is a bit outrageous, but hey, we were doing the 80's thing,
2) yes, I know the lead solo has a few wandering notes, but damnitall, if they had only played a 7th behind me it would have been great...
3) yes, I know the audio is a bit wonky - the camera was basically directly in front of the stacks,
4) the DD AL plays as great as it looks - but then you gals and guys knew that already....
Enjoy, and have a laugh on me!
