DoctorTama and I: band shots

[tmdiamond]

Thought some of you would get a kick out of seeing Dave (DoctorTama) and I kickin' out covers of Ratt, Dokken, Crue, Scorps, etc. We played a Friday/Saturday at a cool place on the St. Charles landing about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately, my wife didn't take a shot of Guy, our rhythm player, using my KE-2. He's a lefty player who plays guitars strung for a righty. He just flips it upside down! Yep, you heard it, a Kelly played upside down, with the bass strings on the bottom. I'll be sure to get him next time. In one pic, I'm using my 85 Soloist (magenta sparkle) and in the other, my crossed swords. I have to include a solo shot of Dave too or it just wouldn't be right...
Laugh it up....

I once saw an old guy which was playing like your friend. He played some cheap nylon-stringed acoustic righty, flipped upside down... But he smoked, goddamn. He was playing some nasty arpeggios.

Doyle Bramhall II the kid prodigy from Texas plays like that. If you've ever seen him play with Roger Waters or SRV you would be blown away. You can see him rip on the Roger Waters In the Flesh DVD.

Very true, omelette-head! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Oh, Guy can tear that Kelly up, no doubt...it just looks wierd seeing a Kelly upside down. It's almost as if he could very easily get stabbed in the jaw by the lower point (which in his case, is the upper point). I guess I could look at it like he's playing a reverse head Kelly...now that would be cool as hell.

Great pics Tom - thanks for sharing those.

So do you guys have a rule about balancing right and left handed musicians in the band? [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
