Wild Cats Approach

Well, this Sunday is my last time to preach. Actually, hopefully not. I hope last Sunday was my last time and that I have someone coming to share about their trip to the Middle East. We shall see.
The last 2 weeks have become a time of preparation for our band performing at the local Wild Cat Days. We did it last year, and here is a taste of a cover song:

This year, there are a number of changes, and I expect it should be really good.
We have a new location: on a flatbed trailer in the soccer field.
We plan to use real guitar amps this year.
Our new Band Line-Up that we just put together is:
Kristine - vocals
Aaron - Pearl Export Drums
Eugene - Vintage Framus Electric Guitar -> JCM800- 2204
Shawn - Gibson Les Paul Studio Guitar -> Tweed Deluxe
Me - Eric Johnson Stratocaster -> DC30
Mo - Yamaha Precision Bass -> Traynor YGL-3a

That's right, 3 Electric Guitarists; this should be real good. All Electric guitarists are using amps built by me.

Anyways, I didn't think we had enough time to get things together but, I was lured into it at the suggestion of only doing about 10 songs. It looks like we have 16 songs prepared.
6 of Kristine's Songs (the most fun)
then about 5 covers and about 5 church songs.
I even sing a country style church song with Kristine providing harmony.
Anyways, you'll be hearing about all this later. I'm sure we will have some recordings; but make it out if you can.

You're blogging! Cool - now I can keep up on the happenings of the Elk Valley...hehe.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Wish I could be there to have some of the fun, too!
