Boxdrummer is Back and Bad at the Beach Shack in his own words

WHEW!...so..12/4/05
Ben prestage (unannounced) was playing the Beach Shack w/his oldtime harp player Dave Hawkins. I get a call...."come to the Beach Shack boxdrummer!" So., this time I took my box, brushes AND a low boom mic stand, a new mic, and my new Marshall amp...and amplified my playing. Aside from a full time invitation to play anytime w/Ben (he loved it! I've played w/Ben several times, but NEVER amplified...that was his idea)....a crowd pleaser....a few solo's, several rounds of applause...a fanning off, and a sweat wipe while playing/from the Rev. Billy (who came in to watch, he even seemed impressed...he's already figuring out how to create a full set of drums using boxes so I can play w/him!! I do play maracas w/the Rev. when he plays w/a full band) Bruce Johnson showed up and played harp with Dave, very different styles and they play great together. So a foursome it was. Ben kept turning around and yelling to me "I love that! turn it up" so up it went and I just played my heart out...loving every second, every beat, every song...it was the most fun I've had playing since the OLD days!!! Exhausted...a few blisters...but I'm flying high! Ben announced evey set that you'll NEVER see a group like this ANYWHERE in the WORLD! TWO harp players...(and Ben was playing his cigar box guitar) and TWO boxes being played /simultainiously, as ONE group!!! He was great as usual....and the four of us had a BLAST playing...we played way past the Sun. nite cerfew...no one seemed to mind! I just had to tell someone....so you guys got my rap!! "Look out Brevard...here comes the BOXDRUMMER!"...anyone got a band-aid for my finger? It's 'bout down to the bone!! Tnx for listenin' to me...boxdrummer gone pro

Alabama they were great. Charley played a short show and jammed 2 songs with the Blindboys.

plays there or care.

Thee Image in 1968? Please write about ,I can’t fine a date on that show.

Rolling Stones 10/19/05 @ Tampa ,F.

Stones at Tampa on Oct.19,2005

Great show 2hr. with moving stage. They played some new songs from the new CD which is very good.
The sound was a echeo and bouncing a round. Good video screen.I thought the band was in good form and
having a good time. I was sitting back on the floor just where the moving stage stop,had great view of the band.
It was cool seeing Keith so close start the cords of Honky Tonk Women.

Sound Advice Amphitheater

Sound Advice Amphitheater-Very noisy crowd,Dave did some great tunes .The crowd was more roudy at the Sound Advice, But the buds were being smoked there more than Tampa. Dave did 2
shows I went Sun. night another great show that band puts out 110% . They have it together on the
traffic down there. I very cool place no hassles there but I think the Tampa Ampthitheater has the
better sound.

Ford Amptheater-Tampa

Ford Amptheater: I saw DMB there last Thur ,they were great 2 1/2 had great seats 10 th row
The sound was great I love the spirit they have , but while I was danceing a securty f-stick came up
to me and ask rudely asked if i was dancing by my seat I was one seat over because the traffic was
back up and it took an hour to get in .The people next to me were 45 min late so my seat was 2feet away . This fuck stick hassled me for danceing in front of the seat , I just moved over and the people
came in but what a dick this secruty guy was . The traffic was really bad the police did nothing to
help it speed up and get everyone in on time.Now I have a great way to get in . Go to MLK Blvd to get
in and out fast.
Ford Amptheater -has great sound for an outdoors theater, and nice rows with room to dance.

long time acoming

Well Bonnaroo is uppon us soon ,June 10-12 what a good time. This year I am going vip ,good times . DMB is heading ling Fri.night Jack Johnson on Sat. but they put him on the smaller stage , I don’t know why that is ? This is his 2nd time at Bonnaroo. So many bands playing there ,Will talk later.

Saw the Allman Brother last Mon. night they played 2 sets,1st set was a hour long with Susan Tedeschi ,Derk Trucks wife . Looking great and singing just as good ,doing a Dylan song,Don’t think Twice, sounding great.The 2nd set 1hour and half,ending with Whipping Post. They were on there game,Great jams and Waren Hayes just keeps the spirit of the ABB. Greg voice was on key and sounding best I heard in years,a little short on the B-3 jams but still great to hear.

Cream and others

1.I still can’t believe the Cream are doing a 4 dates in the UK at Roal Albert Hall, in May.I want to go but
tickets are 1500.-2k in US $$$$$.
To me the first jam band ,and more.This is bigger tan The Super Bowl,If you love the Cream,E.C. Jack,
and Ginger ,you can feel it. I hang on every note thoses guys play. Look out when buying .This F-stick
tryed to weasle and steal my friends money for tickets to a Cream show. Hacked and tryed to use E-Bay
But he did not prevale and no money was lost. Ther seems as always all these gready people out there
and don’t care about the show just the $$$$.f-them ,let the real concert crazys have thoses tickets.
