@ Simon Hahahaha.....although that would be pretty cool....lol.

@ Andy40 I think my digital camera can do movies, but I'll have to have a good read of the user manual first so I know what to do, I could get the F.O.H. (Front Of House) sound guy to take some pics with it as well as shoot a video.

@ dave.king1 We probably could fit them into the set list but we have limited playing-time onstage, would be cool to do those songs though.


Okay, for all those interested, the set-list for the October 28th Happy Yess gig is as follows (assuming no changes are made):

1, Wipeout/Hawaii 50 (with Wipeout segueing into Hawaii 50) (The Ventures).

2, Brief interlude with me demonstrating my Deluxe Theremin.

3, The Rise And Fall Of Flingel Bunt (The Shadows).

4, One Of These Days (Pink Floyd).


For the song "One Of These Days", the drummer wants me to play an improvised solo in the key of "G" (I think), he also wants me to go a bit crazy with the trem-bar too, and use a fuzz pedal of some sort.

Not sure about the songs I suggested Doc, they are musical crimes against humanity ( like Freebird )

The ones you are doing though do stand the test of time but you could throw a bit of Radio Birdman "Aloha Steve & Danno" into the Hawaii 5 0 medley to shake it up a bit

[Sonic Mountain]

Pipeline also segways into Wipeout pretty well, throw in Cecilia Anne and you'd have pretty neato surf mega mix.

Had another practice session at my mate's place yesterday afternoon, definitely getting better at playing the songs but I still have some homework to do, some parts of Flingel Bunt are proving to be a bit tricky to play, but I'm getting there, also have some homework for Hawaii 50 to do as well, did it feel like the fingers on my fretting hand and my brain were tying themselves in knots?...ah.....yep....lol.

So, the gig is set for tomorrow, my mate and I have had quite a few practice sessions, and the last full-band practice session was on Wednesday of this week, personally I think it went really well and I feel pretty confident with the songs, although we did end up having to drop "One of these days" by Pink Floyd from our set list.

My mate did have some trouble with one of his amps in his guitar rig but he took it to a local tech and the tech managed to fix it in time for the gig, hopefully it should go well.

Good luck with the gig Doc.
