my Stones tribute band bookings become even more interesting

[Aussie Mark]

We took our first wedding booking today.  Nice venue, I'm guessing we'll be well fed ... http://simmeronthebay.com.au

But, in even more interesting news, we're heading to Singapore again, in June - this time we're playing two shows at http://www.beerfestasia.com/index.php

Looks like a good room to play ....

Awesome Mark!

What a kick 

[Dave W]

Yow! An expected crowd of 25,000 is the big time!

Good things happen when you're a better Stones tribute band than today's real Stones.

That's not difficult, Dave :-)

Wow, will you be playing "You can't always get what you want" rather than "Every Breath you take" or "Wonderful Tonight" at the wedding? 

[leftybass]

Ah yes, weddings. The stories I could tell. Good Luck.

I take it doing a cover of the Black Eyed Peas "My Humps" would be "out"?

[Denis]

Congrats! Looks like a great venue!

The wedding set has been pre-approved by the bride and groom.  Included are - Under My Thumb, Lets Spend The Night Together, Beast Of Burden, Midnight Rambler, Satisfaction, Honky Tonk Women, and Start Me Up.  All very appropriate songs for a wedding/honeymoon :-)

[Dave W]

At least they didn't choose She's So Cold.

[Freuds_Cat]

Sounds like a blast Mark. Enjoy.

Looks great Mark!  I remember back when the Stones played the Superbowl halftime show they even censored out the line "You make a dead man cum" (Just the "cum" part...... )

I'm always puzzled by some of the bride and groom dance songs.  One wedding we did they danced to George Strait's "So Good In Love."

Parachute Woman weds Monkey Man ...

Honky Tonk Women with it's lyric "I laid a divorcee ..." at least indicates that the now happy couple envisages a healthy relationship even after their separation! Midnight Rambler points to a penchant for the more interesting aspects of adult entertainment. Under my thumb must be fed by the realisation that true democracy cannot work in a marriage. And as long as you still want to spend the night toghether you don't really need to be started up or worry about becoming a beast of burden.

But it's frankly too early to already not get any satisfaction. And not being able to get a girl in action should be worrisome to the bride ...

Some dead men do cum. The hanging kind. That's how mandrake roots start, didn't you know?

The source of the plant has been described thus: "The human shape of the mandrake root has probably helped to foster, if it did not originate, the weird notion that the plant springs from the drippings of a man hanged on a gallows. Hence in Germany the plant bears the popular name of the Little Gallows Man. It is, or used to be, believed in that country that when a hereditary thief, born of a family of thieves, or one whose mother stole while he was in her womb, is hanged on a gallows, and his seed or urine falls on the ground, the mandrake or Little Gallows Man sprouts on the spot. Others, however, say that the human progenitor of the plant must be, not a thief, but an innocent and chaste youth who has been forced by torture falsely to declare himself a thief and has consequently ended his days on a gallows. Be that as it may, the one thing about which all are agreed is that the Little Gallows Man grows under the gallows tree from the bodily droppings of a hanged man.
