hello all........ a question how many acoustic players are there on this sitein jhb ... cos i'm thinking of putting together a braai/acoustic guitar afternoon ...either at my place or some other venue......... ( i live on a hectrare so i guess acoustic music won't be a prob for neighbours........
thinking of either a sat or sunday afternoon in october.......... will be free no couvert...... we have a hectare plot and a pool ......... so it's just a social for anybody on this site.......with maybe me also inviting a few acoustic players i know from jhb scene............ i know here in jhb bob is acoustic .so is big mike and maybe we can convince brent to play some of his fingerstyle for us...... would there be enough interest from you guys if i planned this ........ and anyone would be welcome ..... to play this is not a concert but kinda an open mic at home ...and safe parking heheheh we have an electric fence and 4 big dogs hehhehehe
if anyone would be interested pm me..and if we have some interest i'll set it up...cos even if just 3 or 4 people play it's all good........ and the only reason i can't do an electric jam is that the plot is only 1 hectare so i do have neighbours........ heheheh
so i'm thinking a soft acoustic afternoon with a braai and a pool for the swimmers....... but just cos it's soft con't mean you electric players can't come visit and play some mean acoustic blues....... or in fact electric guitar as long as it's soft .we'll justhave the no overdive/distortion law in place ..........sorry but i do have neighbours.........
i have enough gear to set this up ...... but might need some of the boys to volenteer to braai..... for as independant as i am .... afraid i lived in europe too long being able to braai not a skill i have ... but there is a braai drum here ....
ok so who's keen ...................?????????
and if i can convince a famous acoustic player to come i will ... maybe give a short workshop but thats not a promise but if steve newman or tony or greg is in town and keen i will ask ........ but thats not written in stone......... or else we'll just get Bob to teach us some x rated lyrics
and ask mike to demonstrate his baritone guitar .. or get gearhead to advise us on specs for amps that give natural acoustic sound...............
oh and if i do it at my house it's in glen austin midrand which is almost exactly halfway between Jhb centre and pta....... so 30 min drive from either side or from east rand or west ..... they don't call it midrand for nothing it's truly central...... and i'm just 5 min from the N1 olifantfontein off ramp ...with easy access from either jhb /pta N1... or R21 for east rand (benoni ) peeps .......
peace and light
