Three Jolly Pigeons 9/29/12 Brooklyn, New York

....Afterwards Jamie mentioned to me that the crowd this night was not only buzzed on some drink but completely soused in some instances, either way nobody fell down or puked in public to my knowledge so no harm, no foul and the band played on.

Unique to tonight's show was an impromptu rendering of "Blue Suede Shoes" as the crowd wanted an encore and we had run out of rehearsed material.

The Good Yeggs played two sets trading off with Brian's band Rock Farm.

Our friend Fran of Frankie's Attic performed with us at the end of the first set to the delight of the crowd singing the standards "At Last" and "You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman".

The second priority (which comes after the first) of the night was to see if Pancho's Restaurant was open for dining or take-out, just a few doors down and on the same block even!!!

Pre-gig Dining it was, Jamie had an Enchilada Platter (3 Enchilada's, 1 Cheese, 1 Steak, 1 Chicken)

Being a Burrito fan myself I was ready to be WOWed and I wuz WOWed indeed,

Tinga (Chipotle Chicken) Burrito topped with Guacamole, Sour Cream, Tomatoes and Chips served on a red plate which is good luck in some cultures.

This Is Show # 8

KJ Farrells/Lets Rock for a Cure Benfit 9/15/12 Bellmore, Long Island


Photobucket

We offered our services at the "Lets Rock and Roll for a Cure" charity concert for a worthy cause and played the middle set (going on around 3 p.m.) amidst 5 bands at K.J. Farrell's on Long Island. This is definitely a bar set up for bands as could be gleaned from the proper placement of the sound tech (opposite stage), Pop Wallpaper (Classic Rock Icons) and hanging TV monitors promoting upcoming gigs for various local cover bands so it was a nice room to play with an actual stage and small lighting setup, the hi-hat was miked for this event which was adequate and backline provided by Thomas' co-worker Gordon.

Premiered at this show was the Stevie Ray Vaughan classic "Texas Flood".

(L to R) - Spike, Fran, Thomas and Joe.

It was nice to see Fran again after all these years (the last I saw her was in Thomas' band Heart & Soul in the late 80s) and she will be singing a few numbers with us at the next Good Yegg's show later this month.

There was a Buffet laid out that I attacked after our 50 minute set, pictured here is some nicely done Roasted Potatoes (6 o' clock) , Tasty Eggplant Parmigiana (11 o' clock) and some Chicken Francaise (2 o' clock).

Later in the day Thomas ordered KJ Farrell's Mozzarella Sticks that turned out to be the stretchiest the world has known, I still regret not getting a photo.

Later still Jamie made me Homeade Chicken Parmigiana and Broccoli Rabe Ravioli and this being the "Year of the Rabe" it was very fitting and Delicioso too.
