Camera angles
Even the backup singers got a camera shot! It's amazing that the producer & camera man don't know that the most important shot is the cocktail drummer!!!!!!!!

Denmark Club J
Hey, nice sound! Can you run down all your bands gear for me? I've always wondered, do you have to have voltage converters for european voltages or is all the equipment set up for the higher voltages by the manufacturers? Cheers and have an Aquavit for me

The pieces are raw, unfinished solid wood, looks to be mahagony and maple. They seem to be the right diameter, and are somewhat bigger pieces than...
