Nothing fancy... home movie stuff. But it's the best video we have of the band. Joe Cocker, The Letter.

Very nice. Looks like a great time.

I'm curious how you recorded the song. Is there a direct out from the Bose system or was it an ambient mike?

Thanks,

Youtube clip says it is with an ambient mic on the camera.

Wow. I can't believe the bass is coming through like that with just the Bose and an ambient mike.

 

[adouglas]

Yeah, it was a fairly ordinary camera… nothing pro at all.

Some people think I'm funny to love the Bose gear, but I really really do. My rig is the one second from the right, with the four bass boxes. It kicks butt in a really definitive way and really matches EBMM basses well.

Those four black poles are all there is for the whole band. No monitors, no mains, no instrument amps, no mixer, no rack, nothing.

Okay, I'll shut up now.

Do you plug straight into the Bose amp?

 

[adouglas]

Yes. There is a preamp/mixer gadget that you can see hanging off the tower at about waist height. It's part of the system, and contains EQ, tuner, and misc processing such as compression. The same tower also carries my vocal and the drum kit.

don't you just love outdoor gigs! great setting for a party/wedding/whatever the occasion, that's a cool setting.

By random coincidence, we picked up a town concert gig on that same stage yesterday… the very day we got hold of the video. Can't wait! It's in two weeks and walking distance from the train station, if any NY metro knuckleheads want to come.

Talking about Outdoor Gigs, I had me one last Sunday.

Why, yes, those are matching shoes..

Always great to play in the open.. Great venue also, with fishing swimming between our stage and the audience..

 

[adouglas]

Respect the shoes…. the shoes have mojo….

 

[Holdsg]

[Lonnystingray]

Do a "reply with quote" and in your edit box you'll see how the tags work.

 

[T-bone]

Do I insert a link? Insert a video? Do I choose embed from youtube site? Or do I copy and paste?

I really like the way yours is displayed.

As you can see from the logo at the bottom of the video frame it's an embedded youtube video. I don't believe in bogging down Poppa's servers with my trash.

If you go to the post with the video and press "reply with quote" you'll see the string with the Youtube address in it. Copy that string and put your own video address in there in place of mine. That's what I did, with somebody else's video post.

Below is the string with the initial character removed so you can actually see it.

Replace both instances of the bit that says C3rFfRExFi8 with the ID of your own Youtube clip.

Also, add a left square bracket to the beginning of the string.

Clear as mud, I know, but that's how it works.

Clear as mud. Thanks Ad!

Okay ya'll, here's a fun gig we did over the weekend.

That's Tony Furtado on slide guitar, Reggie Houston on sax, and Steve Kerin on keys. Man this is fun.

[backagain1]

Looks like FUN, tbone!!!

 

[keko]

T-bone, that was great!

I thought that only in my region people play accordion, but I was wrong!

What genre of Country is that, just curious?

 

[T-bone]

Thanks keko!

We call that cajun music. Straight from Louisiana. Here's a zydeco tune we like to do.
