During the day of this jam Scott sent out an email about some friend of a friend of his who wanted to stop by and play a little guitar with us. His name was Jeff and he played blues guitar and so in Deadstein fashion we welcome him with open arms and there he was. Showing up slinging a worn-out ’82 Straocaster in one arm and a golden Washburn, I guess, it had a “W” on the headstock, Les Paul clone. Actually, Jeff play sweet and bluesy/rocky. He was quite and and definitely spoke an articulate language I didn’t quite converse in. He really did rock.
This gave Alan a chance to break out a little harmonica playing as that added a real nice tonality to the blues that was going on. Was a nice new sound to Deadstein for the evening. As far as guest we had Scott Bayer and someone who looked like his step brother / father, where to the grow people like this? The guy’s name was Norm, I think. They were quite the duo. Scott did bongo away for a song or two. Additionally, I ended up playing drums on the last 3 of 4 songs (Big Boss Man, Hard to Handle and Morning Dew) as Scott petered out by the end in a big way. I couldn’t complete it the drumming with the Good Lovin’ as I just couldn’t pull that and that forced Scott to get back into his taintable throne and play the Good Lovin’. That was a good wake up call for him as a way to send him home out of Deadstein land.

What a great night, even if that gremlin put me down for a bit. Hey’ I still managed to snap a couple of candid shots from the floor! Nice drumming Larry…. Oh, and Alan on Harp was very cool. Thanks to Jeff for coming down, and sitting in with Deadstein. Here’s what Jeff had to say:
“Hi Scott: Just wanted to thank you for the jam – I really enjoyed it, and to meet a bunch of talented guys who have such a passion for music. Thanks again. Jeff
And let me know when you want to come by to check out the chocolate factory”

What’s not to love? Smokestack Lightning is beyond smokin’ and on fire! Tasty licks abound in The Other Blues and Hurts Me Too. We should blaze this trail some more!
