Hey Brother Skumm, It was a pleasure to get to play with you a little at the Treehouse Jam! We need to do it more....and more...and more ! See you at the picnic!
pythons? are we referring to the arms of the fem on my page? If that makes me a freak then so be it. I'm in love with this girl...I will renounce my citizenship and move to Alberta if she wanted me to. Beautiful women, good music, great people.... all the more reason to head north my friend. You guys need to work on the food though. Hope your well
George, we ~so~ enjoyed seeing you with the PMB Friday night! Great, great mandolin work you did! I wish you lived across the road so I could come over for lessons. See you at the Picnic!
Hey George, Great to meet you the other night - looked the CD release gig! Your solos were huge and you take 8 guitars up a level for sure! A real honour knowing you and continued success. Mario
The new release by the Peter Mandic Band, “I Used to Work”, is a gem! Not only does this four-man incarnation of Mandic’s sound fill each song with an increased passion and warmth but these guys flow together like a good mixed drink. Once again, Peter Mandic’s songwriting is superb, bearing a simple honesty and quiet truth as he weaves moments and tastes of life like nobody else can. These songs are about you, and me, and things we all see.......sometimes from a distance........sometimes close up. With dreamy lead work by George “Skumm” Douglas’ mandolin, the songs take on a fresh cutting edge to Pete’s writing and with Duke Mc Keracher laying down a distinct sweet foundation of the deep, and J. Bruce “Doc” Walton with his punchy exotic percussion, harp lines, and backup vocals, “I Used to Work” becomes a instant classic in my collection. I would take my hat off to these guys..........but it’s been off since I met them. “I Used to Work” is simply superb.
Thank you Skumm for your heartfelt comments. Having the band is a gift to all of us as it is also my first band. I am proud of Paul and Bruce's contribution and especially your growth as a mandolin player. It is never to late to realise your dreams and we are doing it. Cheers, Peter
Skumm, That was the nicest thing anyone said to me today, it was good until I went on your profile and see that you are YOUNGER than me, men!!! They never get a break do they?? I miss my canuk friends....we need to all get
