CGT Show Notes
Last night's California Guitar Trio show at Rhythm and Brews was as good as I said it would be. And then some. I got a CD of the show afterwards. All of the band members signed it. More people showed up than last time.
Some tunes played: "Freebird," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Tubular Bells," Beethoven's "Pastorale," and "Echoes" by Pink Floyd -- in addition to a ripping assortment of the CGT's dazzling repertoire. Ernie got video of "Echoes" and most of "Tubular Bells."
CGT soundman Tyler Trotter joined the band to play the melodica on a couple of tunes. A drunk, annoying guy in the front row asked "what's that instrument?" Paul Richards told him that it was a melodica. The drunk guy, not quite hearing him, then asked what a "mabtropica" was. He also yelled a bunch of stuff in (I think) Japanese to Hideyo throughout the evening. He also almost spilled beer on one of Bert's monitors.
Later, when the drunk guy grabbed the mic during "Bohemian Rhapsody," Tyler turned the mic off. The drunk guy was baffled. Drunk guys, please stay home. Also, loud, middle-aged almost-drunk guys in the back who talk through the whole show, please stay home, too. All of them can be heard on my CD.
Trevor Higgins and I got named-checked by Paul Richards during the show. After the show, Paul called me "the man" about six times. I am most certainly not "the man," but I appreciate the compliment nonetheless.
Trevor, Ernie, and I had a nice chat after the show. Near the merch table, a drunk chick told us that Chattanooga was a "hub" and that being a "hub" draws people. A drunk guy next to her told us "not to think of anything" because "once you think of it, someone else will think of it."
The drunk chick said Heather Mills has a "Barbie Leg." The "Barbie Leg" was "why she lost on Dancing with the Stars," she explained. I didn't know that. I was just trying to talk to Paul.
If you ever get a chance to see the CGT, by all means, do.
