[Digital Jams]

Yeah Pat, Bob is right about the pic of your wife and your lucky she does not punch you in the dick

Back to the vintage gear shots!

mrs. mentoneman!



Okay, guys, slammin' me for ONE bad picture ? And what was that about punching ?

Someone was having too much greasy kid stuff fun last night and forgot something

Pat,

After reading this I started cracking up-- thinking about the time we got absolutely smashed at the Baked potato watching Gambale, Chick Corea, and Steve Smith-- in the front row, egging him on to shred-- and shred he did. I think it was worse than the dude screaming "Jean Luc" at the Fullerton Jean Luc Ponty gig.

Yo Pat - You gonna have time to swing by my place and check out the Vic-tweaked Egnater W/D/W rig? Just thought I'd offer...

Steve

Oh good call....

Damn... not going to NAMM Thursday and I have an evening strategy meeting that night...

Steve

Brah so many memories..gambale with jeff Berlin at the pub at Fullerton fresh off the boat from Australia with those fruity cutoff sleeves...that was way before anyone knew who he was.
fast forward to that vital information gig you mentioned...definitely in the top 5 gtr events-
gambale asking us to stay for the second set cause we were cheering like maniacs and pumping him to go big!

That ponty gig was sick. "this is not a rock concert..."
I preferred Henderson in that holdsworth phase too.

Don't do it Steve, Pat's friend will bust the place up. That's why Pat needs your permission to bring him.

[degenaro]

as much as Bob was in SERIOUS top form last year...that is part of NAMM, if you don't wake up in a pool of your own vomit you either didn't try or hang with the wrong crowd. Have Bob tell you someday about him and Reinhold trying to find the hotel....for a few hours...

Yup I was there yesterday with Mark Day and hung with Alan, Rob and David. Tons of killer gear in there now along with Carol Ann amps which sounded great! Alan is a first class guy and cool to talk too, he is one of us! We went to lunch as well, good company.
