Homeskoolin’ Bonus “Rehearsal…(With Lasers)”

Chapters
00:00 - Amazing guitar from Kenny Wayne Shepherd during rehearsal


Notes
I don’t know about you guys, but I personally don’t think any rehearsal is worth a damn unless there are lasers…..oh, and you think YOU play loud?

starring:
KWS
Mike Mills
Ebo
Mikey Wanchic
Michael Ramos
Danny Nucci
Kenny Aronoff
The singer chicks

Remember that movie where the soccer team crashed a plane in the arctic and they had to eat each other to survive? It was called “Alive”

Yeah, Danny Nucci was in that…as well as a little movie you mighta heard of called “Titanic”

Cool guy, but I can bench more than him

And most importantly, happy birthday Richard Reith…it’s been two years and we still think about you every day

Notes
Well kids, I played a super fun show at "The Gaaahhden" in Boston last night with the Jim Irsay band.

Go ahead and say what you want about Irsay being a money grubbing billionaire (like you guys always do anytime I mention his name)......but he put on an absolutely free concert for the entire city of Boston that probably cost him millions solely out of the goodness of his heart..

Thanks to all the many Homeskoolers who came out and showed their comfy HS t shirts.

Just some random rehearsal clips, starring...
Duke Levine, Kevin Cronin, Kenny Aronoff, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Mike Mills, Ebo, Carmella Ramsey , Mike Wanchic, Danny Nucci, Michael Ramos and many others

Homeskoolin’ Bonus “Double Down”

Chapters
00:00 - Little behind the scenes with some great players


Notes

Vegas baby…if anyone is bored today in Vegas come to the free show downtown….starts at noon.

We got Billy Gibbons, Vince Gill, Kevin Cronin, Kenny Wayne, Kenny Aronoff, Mikey Mills, Jimmy Irsay, Mikey Wanchic, Billy Branch on the harp, and some other crabby old guy who’s name I can’t remember.

We had to move the show time up because of approaching inclement weather.

Millsy and I have a lot of fun over on stage right….never stop laughing…or drinking. He’s a lovely guy and i appreciate the fact that he always puts up with me and my little camera.
