Okay, Aeolian, I'll do it (AND I MEAN IT!) Where and when? (Quick, before I change my mind!)
Okay, Miss "I don't have to get up in the morning". Traditional blues harpist R.J. Mischo runs a jam session at the Mojo Lounge in Fremont on Peralta Blvd on Tuesday nights. R.J. has a couple of albums out on Pat Ford's Blue Rockit lable although I don't know if he has played with Robben. The talent level is pretty hight at these. The last few weeks the house drummer has been June Kore (Little Charlie and the Nightcats, Charlie Musselwhite) for example. Gary Smith has been hanging out although I haven't seen him play there yet. Lot of other great cats in the same vein hanging around.
Highly recommended to bay area folks who love straight blues. You aren't going to hear much fusion, but lots of really well done old fashioned blues.
Liz, let me know when you've got a Tuesday night free and I'll bring down a chart for Misunderstood. RJ has asked me a couple of time about bringing some new tunes in. I'm going to drop Misdirected Blues on them soon. 17 bars with thee bars of the five insstead of two! But these guys can do it. A woman singer once came up and asked for some wierd count of the one chord and everybody counted and remembered it. _________________ There are no such things as wrong notes, there's only the look on your face.

Agree, let's take it to the open discussion forum...
Patrick - the reference to "cut" in regard to "Peace, Love..." comes from the saying to "cut a record (or song, or track)" which I would imagine has its origins back in the day when music was physically recorded by cutting onto wax or some other substance. Just means to record something, as in "why did RF record Peace, Love..." Is this phrase so out of date now? Does not imply anything negative.

Actually, things are still physically "cut" into master disks and pressed just as in the record days. Maybe burning pits into a master disk is exactly analagous to a cutting lathe used to make grooves in vinyl records but there are tracks of indentations in a master which is used to make stampers which are used to mold the CD's we buy. Interesting to consider some of this terminology. "In the groove", the next "cut" on a "record", and so on. It's funny, Robben still stumbles when refering to a 'record' or 'album'. "can we still call it that these days?". _________________ There are no such things as wrong notes, there's only the look on your face.

Talk about politics ? ? ?
I 've just return from Iraq for about a month now.
I'm a senior airman within the Royal Netherlands Airforce and i've been in Iraq twice for a total of for months , maybe have to go back again.
I've have my opinion about the mission itself , but that's personal.
The world is not perfect !
B.B King said once: If you don't know pain, then you can't play the blues.
So we have to treasure music, because that's what can bring people together ans to keep your mind straight !
And people have to learn not to talk much about "my country" because that's selfish thinking. If there's a problem in the world then we must solve it together.
For example:
Every time a U.S soldier talks to me about "my country" in Iraq. I tell him a story about the battle at "Wounded Knee". Even that he won't understand ! So I said to him that the "end of the world" starts between the two rivers Eufraat and Tigris is as written in the Holy Bible. Baghdad is the place that you can find between the two rivers. So the end of the world is near. But who has started this whole war-campain anyway ????
So...have respect for others in the world.
Gotta go now ...gonna jam with some other musicians.
