| Tonight is the third anniversary of the first Internet webcast of TestingTesting. August 3, 1998, Derek Parrott, Jim Freeman and I set up in my living room (3 living rooms ago) and had Steve Showell and Joanne Rouse as our first special guest. We used Derek's old Peavy mixer amp and two mics.
Monday, Aug 6, will be our 114th show. Jim Bernhard will be our special guest and this will be Jim's third appearance on TT.
TT has brought a lot magic musical moments. Way to many to mention. Just listen to the shows. And it just keeps getting better.
The most important thing for me in these three years? A guestbook comment on our 16th show (the Rio de Janiero Rhythm Kings), 11-16-98, from Zoe. She became my LOML (Love Of My Life). And when the expenses (time and money) were overwhelming she was the one that gave me the most encouragement to keep with it. If it hadn't been for Zoe there would be no TT today. Thank you for everything Zoe.
Monday night we will have ice cream and cake and celebrate 3 years of TT. We will also have a great show with Jim. And Brent may show up too. If you can't be here in person click on in for some good blues and virtual birthday cake. |
