MEN of the LOUNGE

The handsomest men are at The Lounge

List 'em at the crush thread. I did, and I'm happier for it. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=13483

I think you all would be much less enamoured if you actually heard my Connery impersonation.

Is this event going to be repeated anytime soon?

 

[Blackjack]

Hey LockTownDog, get us a standup player and a piano and we have ourselves a band for the next FL party!!!

 

[Blackjack]

Now THAT was bigger than I thought it would be....sorry folks to scare ya!

Bugsy, keep an eye out in the Events section for the QM announcement. The last Queen Mary event was in November, 2007 but this thread was started to show some pictures from the 2006 event. The other pictures are simply of men of the Lounge, not necessarily taken at a Fedora Lounge event. Is this what you were asking and did it answer your question?

Hah! You, sir, should never assume that I'm actually good. I had been working on a Django tune for so long and gotten nowhere with it, that I nearly smashed the darn instrument against the wall. I think I'll move to something slower and more subtle for a while.

wait a minute - that looks like a REALLY Old mandolin! What Django tune are you playing? I have an album from ca. 1985 with David Grisman playing some Django music. good stuff.

Thanks, it serves me pretty darn well. Yeah, I'm using thin twelves that sound like their right out of the mid 30's. I call it my Chick Webb kit, without the temple blocks...haha

 

[pgoat]

so cool! do you play in that bass-drum-keeps-the-tempo style a la Krupa, et al?

 

[Blackjack]

I'm guessing your a musician??? Yeah, I've always loved the old swing drumming styles and was very influenced by Genes playing. One of the main differences in the way drumming was approached then is the drummer layed down a solid four for the dancers not so much accenting the 2 and 4 , if you get my drift. That really drives a band in swingtime. I even use an old lambswool "bomber" pedal so the bass has more of a resonance to gel with the standup. haha, it's a lot of fun!

I am attempting to get through his version of Nocturne. Alas, my head hurts every time I even peek at the sheetmusic. He couldn't have been human.
