This was my instrumental trio, 'The singer's on tour'. So named because every time people asked us where the singer was, I said 'The singer's on tour'. We gigged Vancouver from 2012 to 2015 before work dried up. Considering no one hires band without singers, it was my pure perseverance and passion for a power trio that kept me chasing venues and managers until they hired us. Best bassist and drummer I ever played with. These guys could play anything. Had a lot of bands over the years, but this was definitely the most fun, as we got to jam like mad on a very eclectic set list of Rock/pop/funk/progressive/ tv themes. This take is from a Halloween show 1975. We are playing the theme from the TV show SWAT, which I consider one of the top 2 greatest TV themes of the 70's. (Street of San Francisco was the other one). We segue into Mission impossible jam. I had the Neal Schon/zappa wig, the glasses and the mustache, which starts falling off half way through the song. The bassist has a hard time keeping a straight face watching my hair achieve orbit. Chris on drums, Aranildo on bass. If I get any interest, I will reform this band!

July 5/23. This is from my gig at the arts show. Played 3 hours and didn't make a single tip. Damn right I should play the blues! In fact, soon after this jam, an old man yelled at me that I was too loud and he would call the city on me. I told him this was a CITY event but he still wouldn't shut up. It's a strange feeling to play LIVE but not be heard by anyone, and only heard after posting the video to youtube. It's like I was playing in a cave and I don't become real until I'm seen online. If I had to choose a spot that had guaranteed pay and ZERO audience appreciation, I'll take the spot with no guaranteed pay and SOME audience appreciation, even if it's only one in 500 people. It's painful to play your best and be in a total vacuum, unseen and unheard and this is BY FAR the worst public busking spot I've ever seen. My motivation shouldn't always be "Vancouver public doesn't care, but I'll post it to youtube and maybe get a few views." I'll take waterfront and the junkies any day over this. At least most of them appreciate what I'm doing.

I try everything. The overplayed, the popular hits, jams, obscurities. Doesn't make any difference. No one cares about live music anymore. All I do is attract attention from bums who want my coins, or I get screamed at by people standing at the bus stop who tell me I should shut up because they are stressed. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbhKlxcPHsM
