Jam session on Bessie

I posted quite awhile ago that a band I’m in, Human Wheels, a tribute to John Melloncamp, used my 48, Bessie, for promo pics. We also did a jam session on and around her and included it as part of a promo reel. Bessie makes an appearance with the lovely Evija sitting in the bed playing violin right at the beginning, then the jam session starts at about 5 minutes in. The video ends with 4 of us driving off, can’t see me or Bruce inside the cab, but Evija and Kevin enjoyed the ride.

The rest of the video is in the rehearsal studio.

unfortunately it’s only on Facebook right now so if you don’t have an account you won’t be able to watch. I’ve asked the leader to post on YouTube so stand by.

Bob, to my untrained ear your group sounds very good. When just listening I would say it is John Cougar himself.

Thx Abe. Our intended audience isn’t trained ears, it’s everyday folks who love music.

How much would it cost to bring Bob’s band to Bald Eagle. We could all chip in. Would the park allow it? I know there are pavilion areas where groups can gather. We considered reserving an area like that to park our trucks together and have our camp fires.
