World Record Attempt

Another Eyewitness Blues Band moment that money can't buy: we're helping headline an attempt to break a world record.

OK, it's one of those funky Guinness records: "Largest Guitar Ensemble". Organizers hope to get 2008 (or more) guitar players to show up in Concord in a couple of days to all play "This Land Is Your Land" at the same time. Country Joe McDonald will lead the rendition, and your favorite blues/rock band will open the show, then help Country Joe lead the crowd.

Can't wait. Three chords, man. I'll be playing Kim Wonderley's Takamine acoustic-electric. Sweet guitar, although it does not carry the slogan that graced Woody Guthrie's guitar: "This machine kills fascists".

How Do We Do It?

Patrick got his shift changed a few days ago. In the current economy, it's good that everyone's working, but I think we now have the following times available when everyone in the band is free to rehearse and/or perform:

12pm - 3pm on Saturdays

That's pretty much it. Any other time slot requires at least one person to take a day off work.

Crazy.
