Lookin' good, Dwight. Where's the Black Rose, and is that the Cayenne out of Seattle?

Re: Re: Re: Dwight's photo

Black Rose Pub is in Santa Rosa, Ca. North of San Francisco about an hour. It was our first real gig, sort of an unpaid 2 hour audition. I was just trying to get us some face time in an out of the way place, to see where we needed to improve.

We were nervous as sh*t, but the guy asked us back for a paying gig (this was billed as a jam). We knew we were not hitting on all cylinders, but he said he thought we had some talent and he'd book us for a Sat. night gig if we wanted. It was a needed vote of confidence for us. We were much more at ease at our next gig the following Saturday. For the Black Rose gig, someone there said we essentially had that "deer in the headlights" look about us.

Cayenne Jam Cajun Band is the name of our group, based in the Bay Area. We're not smooth, my intonation sucks on fiddle, but we've got some energy, so that helps.

Ok, I'm tired of looking at myself. Time to rotate the "artwork".

Dwight,
Thanks for the suggestion of taking your photo down. No one was willing to say anything least they hurt your feelings. Congrats anyway!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Dwight's photo

Yeah, but have you noticed how few bugs have been around in the last few days?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Dwight's photo

That's because of those frogs!

I know a frog back in WWII. Cute girl. Worked in the shipyards. Rosie the Ribbeter was her name. Poster girl looks, you know.

How do you say "I am a big ham" in French? Only thing I can think of is "Un cochon pour toi", but that doesn't quite convey it.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Dwight's photo

Euh... un gros jambon ?... Funny expression. "Un cabotin" over here (just looked it up in the dictionary).
Bonne chance,

Christian

"A Star is Born"

Isn't that a movie about an alcoholic flash in the pan? Done got over the alcoholism, now just looking for a pan.
