A remarkable voice…

Yesterday the boys in the band back together for a little rehearsal… But always blows me away is the fact that Davey Pattison voice is always amazing…. I like to point out that during rehearsal Davey is singing into a microphone plugged into a simple mixer board running through a couple of powered speakers….. Absolutely no effects… No reverb… No chorus…. As a matter fact not even good sound acoustics… And the voice just comes through is a click of Davey from yesterday singing Voyager….. All I can say is amazing just to be in the same room taking photos… Oh not to forget the boys in the band Tommy, Van, and bringing up the beat Dan…..

Well yesterday it rained….. Not too much… Not enough to help us… But there were enough clouds for me to grab a camera… Imagine that… What to shoot… So I decided that I should go out to the bridge… That would be the East Bay Bridge… With some cool clouds a little rain falling down to see what I can find… Also take a moment to see how the removal of the old bridge is going…..well it’s going kind of slow but it’s going….

Tell me until last time you were at a carnival….. For me might have been when my son was 6 or 7 years old…. It’s been quite a while… Last night I was driving down the road highway 880….. Just had dinner with friends… Often a distance I could see a Ferris wheel…. Heck I had some time so I drove over walked around it was kind of fun to watch all the people that were their with thier kids…. Trying to Win those prizes…. Trying to throw the bouncing ball into the basket…. Which is almost impossible…..remember the corn dogs…..cotton candy…… Kids running around having a great time….. it’s was nice just to sit there and watch…… you should try it sometime……..

Times you will always remember…..

There are so many things…. In life that you do…. Saying to yourself I will remember this… For me today was one of them…. Most of you know that for the last two years I have had the opportunity to shoot photos of Davey Pattison….. Davey is a remarkable voice behind the bands Gamma, Robin Trower, & Ronnie Montrose…. I was at the Oakland Coliseum way back when I believe it was Day on the Green there were many great bands there… Davey was there with Ronnie Montrose……. and a whole bunch of other bands… I believe that would’ve been in August 1981….. I don’t remember many of the bands that were there I think  38 special… And others…. Gamma was a huge band in the Bay Area with many hits the most popular being Voyager…… well today I had the chance to sit down and visit with Davey at his home he told stories that were so fantastic….. How we met Bill Graham… How the music business is changed… Especially after Bill Graham’s death…. I have this one photo from today Davey sitting in his chair and behind him is a wall of photos… And he took the time to explain many of them to me places he grew up… Where his grandparents met standing on a corner… A photo of where he played his very first gig….. It was so very cool to sit there and listen…. Davey has formed a new band…. Gamma + and soon will be more local shows around the Bay Area…. I of course will tell everyone when Davey is playing…. All I can say is you you have the opportunity don’t miss the davey show….. Oh and I got this click with Davey at home on the couch… this man can’t take a photo without looking cool…… so where is my story ….After leaving the show “Day on the Green….. Well  who would’ve thought that I would be sitting in the front room talking to Davey Pattison…….. life is good
