Big Whiskey Social Club at Brewski's

Big Whiskey Social Club played the first of what was supposed to be four engagements at Brewski's.  The deal was that we'd get extra money for extra people brought in.  We filled the place TWICE.  The dance floor was full the whole night, and people had a great time.  We did get paid extra!

.

My two songs:

SET ONE

Drink in my hand - Stu

Watermelon Crawl - Stu

Little less talk - Stu

Cocaine Blues - Stu

I hold on - John

Sweet Home Alabama - Andre

Born on a Bayou - Stu

Get rhythm - Stu - I think we skipped this one, which is good.  We weren't quite ready for it.

Big Green Tractor - Stu

Friday night - Andre

God bless Texas - Stu

Kickit in the Sticks - John

SET TWO - There was great energy in the room when we played this one.

Neon light - Andre

Cruise - John

achy breaky heart - Stu - We were playing along, and all of a sudden I went to a D, right out of nowhere.  It sounded so bad, but just for a second.

Something about a truck - Stu

Country Girl - John

Folsom Prison - Roger came up and joined us for this one.

Can't You See? - Stu

How I got to be this way- Bill - I think we sounded pretty good on this one, but we were hesitant with the stops.

Take a little ride - Stu

Wagon Wheel - Stu

My kind of night - Andre - This one was awesome.  The crowd was SO into it, we probably should've stopped here.

Booze Cruise - Stu- BUT we went on to this tune.  We were all pretty hesitant, but we got through it!

SET THREE - I was REALLY tired for this set, and I think Andre was, too.

Parking Lot Party - Andre

Save a horse - John

Homegrown Honey - Stu - we played this WAYYYY too fast.

Aw naw - Bill - I felt pretty good about this one, but when listening back to it I found that I was definitely out of tune.  It was really hard to hear myself.

Sweet Caroline - Stu - I kept jumping to the next chord too early.

5-1-5-0 - Stu

In the AM - John

Turn the Page - Stu - The beginning went a lot better than usual, but we still need to practice it.

Boys 'round here - Stu - Stu started playing this song when John & I started Turn the PAge!  We switched pretty quickly, though and joined him.

Red Solo Cup - Andre

Family tradition - Stu - I felt like people didn't really know this one, but sang along more and more as the tune went on.

Honky Tonk Be-donk-e-donk - Stu

SET FOUR - I drank a V8 before this set, and felt a lot better.  While we were playing though, I stepped on a broken glass.  Not sure where it came from!

Copperhead Road - Stu

Ain't Worth the Whiskey

Good hearted woman - did not play

Coming to your City - John

Gimme Three Steps - Stu (FILL) - this was as far as we got.  The owner shut us down and turned on the lights.  There were too many fights going on!  Apparently they were being started by the same guys who really liked our playing, too.

Move it on over (G) - Stu

That's alright momma - John

Tush - John

Call me the Breeze - John

Who do you love - John (FILL)

REPEAT

REPEAT

Big Whiskey Social Club at Darlene's Party

It feels like it's been a long time since I've updated this, but gigs have not been numerous lately.  This gig was really successful, though, we made lots of good contacts, and picked up at least two gigs.  I felt really good while playing, like I was invincible.

At one point I was moving my mic stand and the song started - I began the Johnny Cash bassline by tapping it with my right hand.  Another time my strap came off, but since it was in A, I didn't even miss anything....!  I only sang Aw Naw, but it went really well.
