Nice pics Butch! You sure you guys don't need a "gopher" on your tours?? Cuz I'd "go fer" anything for y'all. Coffee, smokes, drum heads, cowbells, guitar strings, towels for sweaty performances, B-double E-Double R-U-N beer-run..... Hahaha! Just kidding... Or bottled water. Whichever. I am a mean back-up singer!! WHoop WHoop!! WaHOOOO!
LOVED the Teen Butch pics. 'Almost' made me miss the truck stops and tour bus bunks. I'm bummed we missed the Anahiem show(KIDS!) Catch ya next time...
on stick men euro tour the backline is rented but most always get my piaste signtures, i ask for 20 full but get what i get :-) . . i use a kamachi bow , got a few ,years ago when i worked in Turkey. . not sure what the hairballs are . . but whats cool is a) is smaller b) it has a place to put your finger or thumb in to add pressure. for me the angle and the tension on the bow is what makes it sqweeeel. . i cant get much from the big cello bows unless i rosin them to dust,
4 hrs sleep , getting in the van for the 8 hr drive, to do the next big show, - tonight will make 8 in a row like this. xx>p@
