  Travelling partner tonight was an my old friend Ronnie . We met at  IMAC on Thursday and had not seen each other in 5 years. So what better way to catch up than
going to another show together.
We walked into sound check and who do I see? Another Ronnie.. Ronnie Kerrigan!


the two Ronnies
 We must have talked for hours throughout the night. What a  gentleman. I was a little shocked to see an Irishman drinking Corona's. :) Well anyway we talked about every topic from A-Z. It was the first time I actually met Ronnie but I felt like I've known him for years. All the guys stopped over and we all  exchanged pleasantries. Everyone was in good spirits. I had the  pleasure of seeing the prototype of the new "Dave Bronze"
Signature Bass.
                         Actually the bass is a normal size...it's Dave who is shrinking

Very cool! Very big sound and  made with fine exotic palm tree wood only found on Key West.. Bass is a real player. I tried to get the specs on the electronics but Dave was not budging.


this is actually a cardboard cut of a bass Dave
was fooling around with at the sound check

Doors opened at 6pm. Laurie reserved a table for us and it was a great spot. Thanks Laurie!  I believe it was a sellout. Set list was  the same as IMAC.

Good sound and good response from the crowd. Robin Seemed to be in the zone tonight. I did notice that his pedals have been cut  down..using two OCDs

After show: we all headed over to the hotel for a night cap. Took a few shots..drank a few shots. Nice way to end the night.
