NAMM 2008 photos Here's the link to my NAMM 2008 photo album.
http://www.flickr.com/pho...92091@N00/ Main subjects are LIVING COLOUR performance and PFUNK ALL-STARS, Greg Thomas and Bennie Cowan, at the Conn-Selmer Booth. I got plenty of pics of the dancers that spiced up the LC set. 
Also got casual moment with Blackbyrd, Mike and guitarist Neal Faison at the Tascam booth (I wasn't thinking and missed photo ops of him with Vernon & Mike). Gimme a few days and I'll add some commentary into a photo essay test | |

Very cool, bro
Thanks for the photos. It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Hey TA, how was that Tascam amp?
One of my boys went and he told me there were surprisingly a lot of women there. He also said Slash had a whole fan club following him around the even. I knew I should have gone. Damn. Looks like it was a hoasis up in there. 
Thanks for sharing the pics, Pfunkjazz! I hope you enjoyed yourself. | |

The amp is OK for certain things. A good JC-120 clone. I might bitch & moan because of having to work there but it's a fun show. You should make it a point to attend next year. I can't see why any musician wouldn't want to check it out. Hoasis indeed.

Did anybody catch any good performances (aside from the LC/Kings X mix)? What's the hot gear coming up? I've seen a lot of new pedals online and a few guitars. I didn't see many pics of new amps, though. | |

Greg Thomas & Bennie Cowan did a demo at the Conn-Selmer booth. 
This young brother was rocking the Senneheiser booth, in a Corey Glover fashion. I think his name is Ryan Shaw 
Sorry no amps or gear. I flaked out on Thursday's Soulive gig. Well, helping one's daughter with her homework isn't really flaking, is it? [Edited 1/22/08 18:05pm] test | |
