I think I have robbed banks with that one, unsuccessfully though......
That was a really weird gig.

Ok bro's and sis's,
 
let sit down all together round the fire that Aunt Susan is making with the woodscrap left of the four Dragonwings, sit down ....Uncle Dino has a story to tell about a weird gig.
Dino ...you have our full attention
 
Paul the bad one
 
hehehe ...about 1000 people round a fire ...neat!!!

Wow,  Brother Paul, I'm a better bass player than I am a storyteller but here it goes. I showed up at the club feeling fine that evening and ready to play.  As I was setting up, the drummer looks over to me and asks if I'm okay.  I told him I was feeling okay why was he asking?  He said I was pale as a ghost.  In about 10 minutes or so, I started sweating, feeling dizzy, headache, cold chills (hence the hat) everything!!!  I had a hard time standing and keeping my eyes open. They were ready to call a sub to come for me or worse, cancel the show.  I told them, just prop me up on a stool and if I pass out, just call an ambulance...after the gig of course. Then about half way through the gig, it was like someone turned a switch on and it all went away.  I felt great!!!  No there was no alcohol or anything else involved either. To this day, I have no idea what it was.  I went to my doctor the next day and told him what happened.  They ran a bunch of tests and found nothing.  He feels it might have been a touch of food poisoning. Anyway, here are a couple of pix from that gig.  Maybe this is why I started to feel better



  Peace, dino

Even when I would be dead I would feel better seeing that audience.
Oh well...

Mike (the evil dreamer)

The power of a great audience is better than any drug isn't it!?!?!?

I dont know about that,,,,, iv'e got some plants in my basement that begs to differ!

Paul TBO - are you sure your smaller guitarist isn't Phil Collins?  
 
Dino - I need to start playing these same clubs with the girls kissing each other.  Where do I sign up?  
 
Here's a photo of me at Wholapalooza Convention in LA August 8.  I'm wearing a vest originally owned by JE that was loaned by a fan.  You can also make out the Boris necklace (hey, I'm striving for details here!).  This was the day before My Wife got whacked!  Sitting neglected in my guitar stand is an all-original '73 P bass, and a Danelectro Longhorn reissue.

HA!!!!
 
Brother Mike, you need to come out to Boston.  You know, they say it's not much of a college town!?!?!?  Hey is that Molly Malones?  I remember playing that place when the stage was in the old bar area.  I was just there a few months ago watching my friend play.  I couldn't believe the addition to the place.
 
Brother Keavin, I don't know man.  I've done a lot of ah... experimenting shall we say.  I still say nothing compares to a great audience.  Well maybe riding my Harley full out up the NH/ME coastline but that's another story.
 
Brother Paul, Yes you need to come to Boston too!!!  Enough lawn mowing, that season is over!!!!

What bar is that Dino??? l think I recognize some faces in that first aud pic...  

Dino,
 
$20 to you!  Yes that is Molly Malone's!  Last time I played there before this show was on the crap small stage as well.  Glad for the change!
 
Would love to come to Boston.  Would love to go to Toronto.  And New York.  And London.  And wherever else there's interest.  Sadly, as John Lennon famously said, We need money first.
 
Mike

Hey Mike,
 
Ain't it the truth huh?  Well I will always keep my ears open for anyone in need of a great Who Tribute band here.  
 
Mike Pace - It's very possible that you recognize some of the faces.  That gig was at The Old Court in downtown Lowell.

Dino,
 
I'm told there is quite a bit of interest in a Who tribute in Boston.  However, that market seems to be locked up by (and much more accessible to) Who's Next.
 
All these markets are 2005 initiatives for The Who Show....we'll find a way to get to points east somehow.
 
Mike
