Location: GA USA | Something to keep in mind about the video... Randy, who has a fine singing voice, found out 10 seconds into the first song of the day that his voice was gone, and it stayed gone all day. That didn't stop him from croaking out songs for us.
Randy, I didn't use most of what I had to spare you the shame. What little singing that's on the video, you can blame on Mishka. I didn't use "Right or Wrong", because then you'd have to blame it on me. :)
Seriously, without Randy to act as ring leader, it would not have been nearly so much fun. The part where he's teaching the chords is vintage Lanaki. He was constantly saying "For this song, you need to learn this lick...". And I'd say "You play the lick, I'm doing well to get the chord right."
An energetic cat who's lots of fun. |

Yep, that's Randy. Never stopped. I think a name change may be in order.
How about: The Hawaiian Cat former known as Lanaki :p
Ideas? ;)
Nice editing on the video Jas. Many thanks for not showing me sing, seriously. |

Location: Marlton, NJ | I'm still working on the video... what a royal pita! Captain - what software are you using to decode/rip/edit the video? I'm starting out with DVD images from my camcorder. I'm using DVD Decoder to copy the image to my harddrive and DVD Copy to rip it to a usable filetype. For some reason, DVD Copy can't deal with the video image directly off of the disc, even though it's not copy protected.
What format did you convert to to put it on YouTube? Does it have to be compressed?
Thanks!
Mike
Oh yeah - I was definitely remiss in not mentioning Randy's wife and how beautiful she sang. |

Location: GA USA | Well, if you've been paying attention to the Mac commercials on TV, you know that Macs come loaded with itunes, imovie, idvd, and i everything else. I just imported the AVI files from my camera into imovie, cut out the unwanted parts, and added transitions and a title, then exported as an mpeg-4. |

and Randy acted out throwing his eyes across the room......totally caught me off guard :D
Capt'n L's a bit of a showman too.....He jumped right in and sang lead on quite a few songs! He does a great Willie Nelson and Elvis!
And of course.....MusicMike is an outstanding performer and musician who wowed us with all his wonderful original songs and touched everyone's heart strings with "3 going on 33".....Thanks Mike.
I tried to hang back (read "hide back")with the great smooth and steady rhythm playing of Bluesailor,BegginJM,CrimsonLake,and Nicky but for some reason they keep trying to handoff the lead to ME! :confused: ....which I quickly fumbled! :o :cool: ....but I had a great time trying and I'm ready for the next one.....(ready to GO to the next one - not take the LEAD...) |

Location: GA USA | I have 3 extras. I'm putting Weaser down for one, so pm me your address. I can send you the complete book, or just the pages you want, if you prefer. No, they're not for sale. They're free.
It's stuff I got from tab sites, and some that Lanaki emailed me, and some I typed up myself. You know how tab sites are... some songs will have wrong chords, and wrong lyrics. But Lanaki and I tried to iron most of that out prior to the jam.
Jim, anything I have is yours. |
