Had some fun last night...
Talk about karma...OK so last year as you all remember my band was to open for Tommy Castro and The Painkillers at a club in ohio. However, I had my stroke two days before the show and the band had to do it with another bassist.
Well.....Tommy was returning to the same venue last night....one year later almost to the day. It gets better.... Monday the bassist from Tommy's band contacted the promoter, who I know, saying that he needed to find a bass rig locally for the show as his was in the tour bus that was stranded in NJ after the storm. The promoter called me, gave me his number, I called Randy the bass player told him it was cool and I would deliver. So Sam my drummer who's birthday happened to be yesterday and I, went to deliver the cab and see the show. Now Tommy also knows Sam. We all meet, they move my cab, we have dinner together and few laughs, we go to sound check, smoke cigars and we all have a good time at the show. So in the middle of his encore...Tommy thanks me publicly for my generosity, and says happy birthday to Sam. Then says "Come on up here boys". Sam sits at the cans, Tommy says to me "my voice is really tired, can you sing"? I said yes and called Hootchie Cootchie Man in A and count it off, and we ended the night with a great crowd response......so in the end...I DID share the stage with Tommy just one year and a stroke later....so cool. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1353640088.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1353640106.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1353640270.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1353640370.jpg Thanks Tommy.... |

Wow! IMHO, Tommy Casto is great! (Ron had his "right as rain" CD while here. One listen & I had to buy.) Now, aren't you glad this board shouted you into going to the MD???

That's great to hear!

Life can be a bit of a rollercoaster ride.
Nice to see that you are on this particular stretch of track ! Best wishes for the next year, max |
Never mind all that, you can sing?!
On a serious note ( insert rim shot here :D ) CONGRATS!! Looks great and that would have been cool to see/hear! |

Too cool David. Far too small market to see Tommy live, forced to suffer with a few cd's.
Hat's off, of course. Jim |
Nice.......but........the hat ....for crying out loud.....where's the hat. :D
|
The bass looks like it fits like a well-worn shoe. Great sit-in opportunity. Life is good...
|
Great story. Well done.

EXCELLENT!
David, very good karma all 'round. I'm sure the cigars got the voice in the right set-up for Hootchie Kootchie Man. Glad you had a great time on this, the one year anniversary of your stroke. Way to go my friend. "Everybody knows I'm here!":cool: Best Les |
