Well, If you really want to drool: I can take my 1960 tweed champ.

Aug 19, 2008 1:58 p.m. Dr Nyl:

I really think 4 amps is enough, like the wise Danman said we probably wont be playing 5-6 guitarist at the same time, or?

So will, take just 1 amp so you can bring more guitars to drool over

Ratrod, can we leave all the eq. at the Frisia, or will the intoxicated techno teens dance all over it? Have you heard from Rocketman?

Aug 19, 2008 2:08 p.m. will:

good plan, and the bassman can easily be used by two guitar-players if we run short on inputs.

i'm just a little worried about the 'with-a-little-help-from-my-Gretsch-friends-Grand-Finale' ...

Aug 19, 2008 2:18 p.m. Danman:

Well however much I indeed dread that too, there is really no way of stopping that and even worse: everyones obligatory solo piece.

What will you do if I play out of tune?
Will you stand up and hit the pause button?

Aug 19, 2008 2:34 p.m. will:

nah, it's got an 'undo' button!

Aug 19, 2008 4:30 p.m. Rocketman:

Hi........ I know I am late and I don't want to sleep in a tent and can somebody pick me up in Rotterdam or something?

I am bringing nothing, just my Tenny and my beautiful smile.

Aug 19, 2008 5:07 p.m. Danman:

If you and your beautiful smile can manage to make it to Amsterdam maybe you can fit in my car together with Dr.Nyl and Sjolte and about a hundred amplifiers. But I think Will lives in Delft. I don't know his plans but otherwise maybe you can hitch a ride with him.

BTW: do you have a tent?

Aug 19, 2008 5:34 p.m. will:

Hi Rocketman,

surely we can arrange something. i live near Delft (Schipluiden to be exact). pm me, so we can arrange something.

... but expect no comfort in my old car! and i even have a tent i never used!

Aug 19, 2008 5:52 p.m. will:

btw ..., some bad news: one of the pick-ups on the astro-jet isn't working correct, so it's on it's way back to tv-jones. (i dunno if it's the pu or that i 'broke it', that's for tv jones to find out ...) i hate to bring an incomplete guitar. unless you really want to see and play it, it stays home until completed.

i do have one or two other gretsch-like axes though ... you'll be surpried ...

@ Dr Nyl:

I have Rocketman's name.

You can leave your gear in a seperate room at Frisia.

Ratrod said: You can leave your gear in a seperate room at Frisia
Thanks, i´ve been a NightTime Roadie with my own gear too many times in my life, and now i´m old!

And, do we have A Drummer.

Aug 20, 2008 2:10 p.m. Ratrod:

I hope the drummer issue will be solved this weekend.

It's such a shame our own drummer can't make it. He would have loved to come but he just can't make it. If he could, he would have brought a Gretsh drum kit from the shop he works at.

drummers

Aug 21, 2008 9:20 a.m. Danman:

I agree: drummers
I have never met one without some issues. And the better ones are the worst.
But Ratrod let me know how the drummer situation turns out. I could look around Amsterdam too, only I can't promise anything. A friend of mine drums weird experimental music so I'm not sure how he would hold out with us...... Although he is the only living drummer without issues.

Aug 21, 2008 9:23 a.m. Danman:

And what is the singing situation?
Is someone going to sing? Also the songs he didn't post? I for one do not sing and you will thank me for that.
I think Ratrod mentioned his bassist will sing? But is he willing to sing all songs? Or do we have singers amongst us?

Actually I am just bringing this topic to the top to try to get an answer to my singer question.

Aug 22, 2008 6:10 a.m. Ratrod:

The bass player can only sing the Stray Cats songs.

Aug 22, 2008 6:40 a.m. Danman:

Hmmm,
any singers around? Are we going to be doing instrumental versions of the songs?
- Rated: 17 ↑
Aug 22, 2008 7:56 a.m. Dr Nyl:

Could he improvise on some of the others if we supply the lyrics? Brand new Cadillac & the Cochran lyrics arent too complicated.

Doesnt will and/or Rocketman sing? Just DONT ask me.

If we have to play songs instrumental we´ll just surf them up a bit and have more soloing space

Aug 22, 2008 8:04 a.m. will:

i can try (and i will!) but don't expect much. i think i can do the Cochran-song and will listen to the others over the weekend. i'll let you know.
