The Last Bass Outpost

One of my favourite venues downtown has just completed the move. Our nickname for the old dive was the Land of Dreams. The original building was falling apart , the move was inevitable , and turned out to take longer than anticipated. They took the old bar and many of the fixtures and appointments from the original. I've done the weekly blues jam for about 27 years and tonight will be my first return to the new digs. It's right in the downtown core so parking will be more of a challenge , but there might well be more street traffic. We'll see tonight , I'm looking forward to it. I'm curious to hearing the new room. We used to generally just put vocals in the PA , so your stage mix was the room sound. With experienced players the old room could sound gorgeous. Or if you crossed a certain volume threshold it could become a bag of noise.
I used to play that location when it was a coffeehouse in the 70's. It's like coming full circle.

Grilled guinea pigs are this NYC restaurant's shocking specialty

Looks appetizing!

At least you're not blaming me for her vagina candles.

I like how Leslie West draws attention to Alvin Lee's playing.

It's a historical moment, no less ...

All hail the Mighty SoDW - (Re)Creator of Worlds !!!

Good genes too. Goes to show that even former Rush fans can achieve something in life and not just remain regressive.

Or a cucumber in aluminium foil?
