A Very Windy Evening Of Blues
16 July 2010
It’s been a while since we’ve all played together so it was nice to have what was supposed to be a relaxed informal outdoor lake side café gig to get things going again at the King Du Lac. And it was pretty much that if you remove “relaxed” from the list since there was a storm wind blowing Wednesday evening that threatened gobs of rain which didn’t come – fortunately – but which did make it very hard to set up the sound an actually hear what we were playing. Before you knew it the music was blown away over the waters never to return leaving me, for one, struggling to hear the little that was left. I’ve probably gotten too used to playing in a cellar in which my little drum set is far to loud too; fireworks! Outdoors it’s like a cheap little firecracker, pthiip…, did you hear something? Not sure, can you turn up the guitar?
And then the wind would change and I’d only here the bass or the harmonica, just bizarre… and not the best to all be together now…
I (heart shaped guitar) The Blues
14 July 2010
Don’t forget to join us (The Crawfish Blues Band) tonight down at Neuchâtel’s lakeside for a wild evening of old and new blues tunes! Hopefully we’ll get a few decent recordings of a song or two to replace the dusty and poorly recorded one we have on our band website. As far as promotion’s is concerned this band has a lot to learn… but anyway… what can you expect of a bunch of old geezers. Which got me thinking of just how male/macho the whole blues scene is….
Le Bar King au bord du lac
1 July 2010
In the summer, the Bar King set up an ice cream stand on the lac side in downtown Neuchâtel and invite groups of all different musical horizons to play. For the whole program check out the Le Bar King au bord du lac website.
And for those folks interested in the Blues, please take not that the Crawfish Blues Band concert has been moved to July 14th 2010.

Blues for Haiti @ the Café Omega
28 January 2010
Last Thursday I had hoped to go down to Geneva and jam at the BAG but circumstances decided otherwise and I ended up at the Café Omega over in the small village of Cortébert with Blaise for a jamming evening of Blues to raise funds for Haiti.
One thing you get living in small villages and towns up here in the Jura Mountains is a certain feeling of emptiness which on a dark frozen snow covered winter night can make the rest of the world seem a figment of the imagination. So it’s always a special thing to leave the void of the outside, the secret filled black windowed houses lit by two or three streetlights that painfully cast their feeble luminosity through the misty air, and enter the overheated and people packed room of an open café…
Compliments To The Chef!
4 December 2009
Last nights concert at the Hotel-Restaurant Mont-Vully turned out to be a lot of fun which was nice considering that when we got there the place was empty and no one had even reserved!
It must be said that it was one of those cold dark wet and dreary evenings that is more inclined to make you stay home, feet up on the chair in front of you, watching anything with movement on the TV while sipping at a glass of single malt; no ice please…
