my Steal Your Space book

Larry and Kev for a quick candid on 8-27-2008

After a week off without jamming Deadstein is getting back together to play a few song.  This week we finally get Scott’s friend Bruce Tanis in to play guitar for us.  It promises to be a slightly freakier week in a different sense, but it will be a Deadstein jam nevertheless.  Look forward to the post jam recap.  I’m taking a camera in so I will hopefully get a few good shots to post. In addition, I assume we will also get the Brotpen recording.  Yoinks Away!

Well, I was the first one to arrive by a good 10 minutes, and I wasn’t early.  When Scott and Rich walked in with Bruce his existence became apparent to me.  As Kevin said, he’s the Les Paul guy, and that he was, the guy with the beautiful Les Paul.

No use whining over spilled wine

We started with the simple blues of a Mystery Train and continued through the night.  Rich was a in “Yes, and thanks for asking” type of mood and it was a foggy night thereafter.  Rich tilted up the piano and there went Bruce’s bottle of wine.  We got into a nice full Playing in the Band that worked well.  I sang a Shakedown which was I hadn’t often done.  There was plenty of other good stuff.  Let us not forget the Positively 4th Street..  Was it hot?  I forget and it was the last song.  Oh well, at least I made it home.

Scott Bayer was there for a song or two and we played over the cellular network to Carol down the street.  Scott’s leg was tingling and Kevin’s heads was also fizzy.

Bruce and his Les Paul

In the world it was another nice night capping off what was a beautiful August 2008.  Was a bit depressing in the fact that it was getting dark by the time I arrived at Carroll’s at 7:45.
