Still at table




This portion is far too big



More laughter - this lady was actually filling up for the whole table - or so she said
Judy is slightly skeptical



Meanwhile here's how the Dr Pickup rhythm section getting ready for some solid groove




And he was even at Woodstock
Just kidding :-)



Vive la France, with the red white and the cheese.



Speech time now



Speeches and presents .
Remember the sound files are on the second half of page 5 and the first five photos of page 6

A good time was had by all



Getting in the mood for some dancing?
Stringkiller and his beloved Gibson Lucille BB King model guitar.




Let's ease up a little here




Getting in the mood now




Everyone having a good time?
Here's the cook again, let's thank him for a wonderful feast ;-)

Musical Instruments used

Stringkiller

• - 1st set - Fender 1990 Reissue 1952 Telecaster - thanks Leo.
  Considering this was the first mass produced electric guitar it is amazing that Leo Fender got it right first time in 1952. You can hear it is an incredibly versatile guitar - from clear bell like chiming to dirty lowdown moaning and groaning wtih everything in between
  Here's how it fared in my Telecaster shootout
• 2 nd set Gibson Lucille model (Thank you Mr BB King)
  Here's a to a concert in 1996 at the Utopia night club ;-)
• -> Nady wireless transmitter
  
• -> Cry Baby Wha wha
  
• -> Mesa Boogie V Twin pedal
• -> Mesa Boogie Subway 20 watt amplifier

Sounds
The concert was recorded on a Walkman (with the stereo mike incorporated)
then recorded to wave files at 32000 Hz/8bit/mono.
Those files were then encoded into Real Audio and MP3.
I have not found space for the MP3s as the Real Audios were alreadyquite a handful

One week later

All in all there are 73 sound files on this 50meg site. (68.3 meg just for the Real Audio).
So that made me decide to just go Real Audio instead of Real Audio and MP3. I can send you MP3 if you want just mail me.
Another problem is the site (http://www3.50megs.com/) will accept uploads exceeding 1 meg (up to 1.5 meg) but then will not play them back - just the ' the file is too big' is too big message.
Stringkiller hates to do things twice ;-(
So the 25 sound files files that are larger than 1 meg are scattered around 6 other web sites.
The 'speeches' are from 44 to 55 (that's the fourth file on page 5 to the fifth file on page 6).
Ludmilla singing is file 68, which you can find on page 7 as the eighth file down.
Anyhow you can hear how quiet Dr Pickup is playing and from the sound files I hope you'll agree we helped make a very fun evening.

Thanks Barbara, Bente and Judy.
