Empire II

On Friday Bluestone played its first full night at the Empire Pub's downstairs band bar. There was a moderate-sized crowd that seemed to stay all night, and the first two sets went really well. I was really pleased with how my guitar sounded, without much effect other than the odd bit of gain. Big fat fender tone. A few little boo-boos crept into the third set, but nothing we can't fix - and we will fix them! Feedback after the gig was great from the punters. Feedback from the band indicates a high motivation to sound nothing less than excellent.

The biggest downer of the night was that some idiot stole one of my new harps in the first break. I think it was one of the guys who'd been so effrusive in their applause during our set. What a low trick. Loser. Anyway, we all stayed for a few drinks and I got home around 3:00. Long hours, but boy it's good to be gigging again.

I hear Graham Dooley is playing with Boog Roberts again in The Boogiemen. Watch out! When they were with Mike and I in White Hot and Blue, they were a formidable combination. I expect they'll get some good gigs soon.

Live At Last

Okay, it's taken a little while, but we're live at last. There's a permanent link to the Bluestone website on the right. Check us out! Better yet, book us!

We're playing the Empire Pub this Friday night. Been hard to rehearse as much as we've wanted, what with some of us being out of town and such. Should be a lot of fun though.
