Quick note: Dave is quite good on drums. It is funny to watch him play because he literally detaches from this world and his body language and expressions (and grunts) can be quite comical. He wasn't lying when he said before he started his brain would detach and music would just flow!

So Stu comes out and goes "Dave, you need to do an extra long intro for me because I need to blow my nose and there are no tissues in that room!" and proceeds to go off to another part of the store. Quite funny. It really set the mood for the whole event. Pretty much Stu would tell a story about something, then play a song. Here's the set list:

• Star Spangle Banner
• My Boss Drives a Mercedes and I make minimum wage plus tips
• Ti Extrano
• Flow My Tears
• Abbey Sonata or Moonlight Road
• Ann, you bitch I never want to see your face again
• Medly - America->linus n lucy->Love Boat-> ? (It was an extended suped up version of the song he goes into after linus n lucy on his first vid)->Count Zero->Sexually Active->Country Music

• Signed a 10 cd deal with CBS... he gets 10 cd's for $1! (He got me with that one. I started writing it down!)
• Just finished recording an 11 track Rush tribute. Due out next year. He said it will annoy big rush fans because he did his own thing on bass.
• He has music for a record brewing. He doesn't know when it will be recorded, but it is different from his other stuff. He said it is sort of experimental, and he's probably going to have strings on it. "I suppose you could call it music. I don't know how commerically viable it is"
• He'd love to do a live album
• He's going to be doing more gigs around the San Fransisco area with his band
• Turned down a few road gigs because he didn't want to be away from Charlotte (who is three now)
• GHS tour IS looking to be a possibility!!
• He thinks the chapman stick is good, but he simply has no time to learn it - he wouldn't want to do it half assed. "If I had three years to spare, I'd love to. The other thing is the sound isn't quite there.. not enough low punch"
• He switched to Peavey because they have more low end and more "sparkle". His first amp was a Peavey and he liked it. He's also working with them to design an amp. He couldn't mention details but he said he likes it and they'll probably show it at NAMM
• Even on the new peavey setup he still flatlines the EQ
• Wrist Care - He said most any chiropracter can help you out. It is important to do stretches and exersizes - if you start to hurt - STOP!.
• On strengthening hands: lots of exersizes. "I also like squeezing balls. you know like.. wait, that didn't come out right!"
• On fast playing: when he is doing fast plucking (not tapping) he only uses two fingers not 3-4 like Sheehan.
• Nowadays he uses the chorus in his little Peavey combo amp. I forget the model. Bad Jeff!
