Greenhouse Cafe 9/27/13 Brooklyn, New York

This was the first time the Good Yeggs played at The Greenhouse Cafe in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and my second time having sat in on one tune with the Rockinghams some years back so I was aware of the stage dimensions, not too big, not too small, OK maybe a little on the smallish size and located at one end of the bar. There is a dining area in a separate room adjacent to the bar room.

We played well enough even though I gave the wrong count in to "Great Balls Of fire" and had to start that one over again.

Premiered tonight was "Proud Mary" by Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Rattled" by The Traveling Wilburys, a hybrid Stones/Temptation's version of "Just My Imagination/When The Whip Comes Down" medley and "Baby's In Black" by a band called The Beatles.

This gig was the most backing vocals I have sang yet.

Mozzarella sticks, Beer, Butter Patty, Nachos supreme.

Good Mozzarella Sticks, not so good Nachos as I did not care so much for the chips.

Three Jolly Pigeons 6/9/12 Brooklyn, New York

The Yeggs got to play on the same bill as Black Death and Baby Daddy Project "Let It Be That" (The Let It Be album in its entirety) at Bay Ridge's Three Jolly Pigeons and I got to see some old friends of mine as well, Sweethook was in attendance too. We played a tight set loosely and Jazelyn helped us out with backing vocals on "Another Brooklyn". Premiered tonight was the Stevie Ray Vaughan classic "Texas Flood" to which afterwards John the Bass Player yelled to Thomas "Your saving that for the Yeggs !!!" referring to the tasty 16 bar Blues guitar solo Thomas took.

   

One of the things our rehearsal space is known for is the authentic railroad tie which we use to keep the bass drum sedentary and that is also quite heavy. Thomas forgot to bring the dumbbells along (the metal "weight" kind) so we transported the "tie" on the roof of Thomas' car, Fortunately and Luckily no one got hurt and I am referring to the other cars and innocent bystanders.

Previous to the gig Joe, Marco and myself stopped off a few doors down at Panchos for some authentic mexican food. I chose from the extensive menu and after asking Joe what a "Carnita" was (spanish for Pork) decided on Tostadas (2 for $6.00) one Carnitas (Pork), one Tinga (Spicy chicken) and a Lime Jarritos Soda. I Absolutely Loved the first Tostada (we think it was the Tinga but not sure) which had just the right hint of Cilantro and was piled high with ingredients atop a most durable and crunchy Tostada but there was something I didn't care about in the meat on the second one, it was kind of sticky and that reminds me a little of Pork Chops so I am assuming that was the Carnita. Either way I could eat here every day of the week.
