I said, some time ago, that I would post an original, so here ya go.
The song is around 20 years old, probly. I never came up with a 2nd verse, so it's 'next verse, same as the first'. Loosely based on real events, but artistic license invoked
The gig was pretty unusual, called the Friendship Trail. In our town we have a walking/biking path, running along the waterfront and out across an old train trestle. The gig started at the bike shop, where a band played and then everyone took off on bikes, along the trail, stopping at several places to see a 2 song set by local musicians. Of course, it rained. And of course, my bright idea was to play electric and sing thru my Frankenhog ( radiokdug.com/2012/11/pignose-roland-frankenhog/ ), hence the plastic bags over the mic and pedals and I kept the amp inside the van.
To power it all, I used a little 12v->110v inverter that plugs into the cigarette lighter.
Vox: Shure 56->battery powered RadioShack mixer->Hog section of Frankenhog
Guitar: Strat->RS20 looper->Green Monkey Distortion->Roland section->mixer->Hog section
I stored the solo chord progression in the looper, previously. I guess I couldnt see the light on the Green Monkey, thru the bag, so I didnt get it turned off before going out of the solo, oh well.
