Well, I think that the lights are almost all switched off for Big Jeff and the Smokers. Or so it seems. Jeff has asked me if he can pass out my number to people looking for a drummer. Several problems kept us from keeping this thing going.

But in the meantime I have a new updated profile right here:

http://bandmix.com/profile88355.html

Can it be seen and navigated for you guys OK?

Yes

Yep , and the snare sure sounds good

Yeah, that old thing!

It looks pretty too with that cool paint job

If I could figure out a way having the whole set re-done in that color would rule!

Do I hear a hint ????
Rip them apart TOR , I still have the quart of color left over
But the sad thing is I would have to re-do the snare to because I used a custom mix charcoal under coat for it and I dont think I could get the rest to match the snare
If its off 1 shade in that Kandy , you will beable to see a difference .
The only thing is if we do it , you wont have a set of drums for a few weeks

That is so cool of you to offer to do that for Tor Spray The members here sure are the cream of the crop

Well thanks Trallyus , the only downfall is I think Rod would have to buy all new re-placement Drum Skins , and I have no clue what that expense would be
But on my end it would all be free of charge
So when ever he has the extra money & time to have his set tore down I would be more then happy to paint them for him

If I am on a hiatus with the music thing you don't know how hard I'm thinging about that...

Not to go off topic, but I wonder if they are going to drop the website? Personally, I'd at least as a mimimum keep the domain.

Jeff said that he found out the Smokers was a name already used by another group that is getting some fame going. He has actually been calling us Big Jeff and the Blues Ensemble lately. The pro web master he found hasn't done anything at all. Jeff must have told him to forget it. I heard a rumor that a blues band by yet a 3rd name is playing at Buffalo Brewing in Trenton and Jeff will be a part of that. Must be this band he found and used his contacts to book it there.

I'll have to send both of them an email this fall to see if they wish to continue their hosting here. They still have several months left on the current paid up year.

My step-son just told me that he spotted Jeff at the Powhattan restaraunt last night coming home from a gig. At least he's staying busy.

Well, the last gig is played and I'm going over the recordings. They're OK. I have tried to upload one to my web space but it's disappeared and I can't link to it. I was going to post it for you guys to download. I guess I don't know enough about FTP.

I just read your LJ , man that really sucks Rod

Yeah. If someone can take a 3.73 mb mp3 file and host it somewhere I can send it to you. It's the last song of the night (with the red SprayTech snare!).

Hey TOR , send it to me and I will try and upload it to my .mac account and people can download it from there , and then listen to it
I'll PM you on what email addy to sent it to

Cool! Sent it away!

Downloaded and listening to it now
Will upload it to my .mac account here in a minute
