Everything really clicked together last night. My Zum sounded absolutely spectacular. I hit every note, that, my mind was contemplating a split second before playing it and I played licks and phrases I haven't played in a long time. This band I'm playing with plays in different places all the time and the steel never quite sounds perfect to me, but, last night was ideal. It's really a challenge to get the right sound all the time, fighting with acoustics and weather, it's never the same. It put new life into my playing. I only hope the 2 gigs today will be as fruitfull and inspiring. |

John, you need to find some way to bottle that! Then on days when things are a little "off" you could pour a little back out. |

Yeah, I hear you Don. Sundays two gigs were pretty good for sound, too. It's so hard to get it right a lot of the time, when, you're playing in so many different places. Every place is a sound challenge and I want it to sound perfect for me. I guess I have OCD when it comes to that. |

Hey Ken,
Good to see you posting! I've got an unbelievable story to tell by the end of this week about Jabby's. I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it. |
