After the show…

In the last post I was telling you about this show we prepared. So, now, after the show, here are a few pictures and a few observations.

The show was interesting and I had fun being part of it. However, it could have been promoted a bit more since we have lost a considerable number of participants because they didn’t know about it, people that would have been there otherwise. I say this because I know the level of enthusiasm the show generated last years. This was the eight edition. This year we were expecting more people that actually came up. Well…

As good impressions, I loved the sound or rock, the sound of drums and guitars, generally speaking. I loved the enthusiasm of 50-60 yo people singing and playing on stage. Since our drummer couldn’t make it, we managed to get our ex drummer that already knew the songs so we managed to play just fine. Except one of our song that was a bit shorter than usual, but hey, nobody noticed, right?

As bad impressions, I didn’t have a good control on stage over the second guitar and voice. Also, between me and the Marshall amp was some kind of love and hate relationship since I was not happy with the sound I managed to get from it, no matter how hard I tried, but overall, it gave me a great feeling of power and control since being close to it, the sound monitors were not such a big help comparing to the amp itself.

I played with my band, Tentatii, and also with a girl singer, from another band I used to be part of. We put up 2 songs in a hurry, right before the show and we managed to have them going: Have you ever seen the rain and Mustang Sally.

So, until I will upload a video, here are a couple of pictures my wife took while we (and an other band before us) played:

After the show, together with some good friends that came to watch the show, went to a restaurant near by for a wine and some food.

And, to end this post in a happy note, here’s a piece of conversation my wife unintentionally heard between one of the guys in the first picture and his wife:

- What do you have there?!

- Water, dear!

- It’s not water, it’s Vodka!

- …get out of here!
