R3 Band music in a play

Longtime friend and R3 Band fan Larry McKenna is putting on a play that starts next week at the Society Hill Playhouse in Philadelphia.

 It’s called The Next Reunion and features some songs from our new cd

The Next Reunion

The Next Reunion

The one liner says something about going to someone else’s reunion and that is ironic since I got invited to Penncrest’s 20th this year and didn’t even go there.

Gigs!

Smell The Glove Utah was a blast!  Hursty, me and my awesome friends had good turns, good times, good tunes and a shitload of laughs.  I am now in search of a Trace Elliot Velocette in the $300 range to replace my 65WATT Blues Deville.  If you have one I’d like to try.

We have gigs booked so now I can start filling this site with some content outside of the treats I jam on youtube.  I hope my bandmates start to contribute too.  Also, you fans can comment on any page or post on the site.  We have not played together in at least a month so I’d like to kick off fan participation by posing a question:  Should we practice the night before the show and BUST so we don’t go out with a loaded gun on THU ~ OR ~ should we RETAIN and blow our month-long load on you at the show unpracticed?  Please comment BUST or RETAIN if you have an opinion one way or another.

Upcoming Shows:
Joclyn’s THU March 4th 10PM

Riddle Ale House April 3rd 10PM

Snow

Well there has been a cloud of snow over me for most of the winter here in PA.  It even caused my band-mates to bag practice and not call me to let me know that was what they decided.  I sat there alone waiting and when I called Bundy he hit the ignore button on his phone.  He’s so funny!  We will only be able to get one practice in now before our gig THU 03.04.2010 at Joclyn’s in Media because I am going to Utah next week.  I really hope this snow cloud follows me there.

And when I get back I will get my van fixed.  The snow should have it clean as a whistle.

2010 Snow Storm

DAVID BOWIE – First TV appearance 1970 – SPACE ODDITY
Some classic Bowie

John Frusciante Interview VPRO 1994 (4/6)
This used to scare the shit out of me. This dude is one of my most favorite musicians and pretty much made me not be able to watch people fix in any form of media. John Frusciante is still alive and I am really happy about that. Bowie segue.

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Under The Bridge
More music from that domain.

Amsterdam Acoustics – the XX : Crystalised
This is how I got here.

More the xx
Live drum machine operator.

Getting By

So I have some new installents to the youtube dj action.

John Lennon, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton and Mitch Mitchel

First in from Burlingame, CA- my bro-law sent me this clip while I was chatting about him and sharing some of his photos from NoCAL camping trips. He looks happy and has made me happy with this slice o history.

Toots And the Maytals – I’ve got dreams to remember (Cover)
When I first moved to Utah I swear 4 out of 5 bands, when asked about what their music was like would say, “Early Talk Talk/Jeff Buckley”. My friend and neighbor is in Haiti right now covering the tragedy as a journalist. He honestly confessed to me that Talk Talk, the early stuff, could de-throne the Beatles in his heart’s castle. I asked him to send me this one video of Talk Talk he was showing me when he said that and this is what he sent me…from Haiti. Be safe friend and neighbor, and thanks for the Toots.
