Robben Ford Discussion

Filmore

Hey guys,

Something else now :
I saw a few days ago on television that bassplayer TOMMY SHANNON is playing in the band with JESSICA SIMPSON !!!!
Can this be true ?
I think that SRV turns in his own grave if he knows this !?!
Ok.....a man got to make a way of living.....but with Jessica ???...Damn Tommy, Why ?

Greetings,

Fill from Brussels

And I saw Vinnie on a video playing behind Faith Hill. It's a gig. Who pays the bills? Touring with Sting or Faith, or touring with Robben? Several full time musician friends are making more money doing soundtrack snippets for video games than any gig they can get locally. Artistic integrity is a flexible thing when the rent is due.

Aeolian: So true. Of all of my musician college classmates, only two are employed full time as performers. One is a now-famous Grammy-nominated PBS-appearing opera conductor, who doesn't have to tour with Jessica Simpson (but is a down-home enough guy that if he was invited, and had enough time between Wagner and Puccini, just might take her up on an offer). The other is a very talented cellist, who plays with various orchestras and ensembles in the L.A. area, BUT: the bulk of his bills are paid for by studio work laying down soundtracks for TV commercials for antiacids and feminine hygiene products. (You may not be that interested in the product, but oh those cello chops!)

Hey , Filmore , my beloved stup narconerd , actuallty i missed you. Hey bluerunner , i am not forgetting 'bout u , i owe you one. I am so glad, you guys were so snappy at getting to Fil point. I don't even know who is Jesse.

Anyway bear in mind Fil, that we are merely europeans, barely artists -you know what i mean , you're a cop - so how can we judge a guy who played bad bass behind J.Winter on WODSTOCK stage at the ripe age of 17 .

Do u want me to come in belgium and make u work on your pentatonocs..????

Now if you wished to avoid to speak about M.Moore Movie, i heavily appreciate, Duuuuuude.

By the way , today i even feel i can love

Hallo Blob,

I was wandering where you've been !
This is the cop you're telling about !
So lets get angree on each other so Elizabet can come between us to !
Are you comming to VERVIER for the most inportant GIG if the year ?
If yoy are comming, don't forget to leave the drugs at home, otherwise I will be taking some action there at Verviers ! The Belgian law-constitution is very hard in those cases ! Hihi......5 YEARS of prison is floating above your head when I can catch you with less then 1 gram of weed !!!
Hihi......
This cop has spoken !

I love you, Bluelobster !

Greetings,

Tommy Shannon was supposed to be on tour with Buddy Miles last month... but Tommy didn't show up for the Tampa show. Anyways, Buddy was great without him !

He was with Buddy Guy at the Santa Cruz blues festival. And showed what a bass player is supposed to be. One of the best parts of the set (Buddy was noodling though some muddy fuzz box, sounding like a mess)

Bluelobster · Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2004 9:14 am Post subject: for my buddies

Can anyone go & tell to Buddy stop playing the guitar. You're ain't no Jimi.
I can't help , i've seen him doing the wild man of borneo noddling over senseless licks with such a stubborn tone even mules don't want to play with. Razz

(yeahh cowabunga). Now if Clapton once stated that Buddy is the most violent guitar player he ever seen, may be it's not true, i mean it's obvious that when you wear Armani you need medical assistance.

Hey Fill , Verviers Jing Chi and you . Let me think , i was planning Amsterdam for some conveniences..............
I love you to . Razz

Cheers.
