Live performance in Germany with Mike Keneally and Friends
Recording: '2001' (live with Mike Keneally and Friends !!!)
Waldsee, Freiburg, Germany - evening - P: Dude. Present: Yann, Mike Keneally, Jaan Wessman, Schroeder, Claude Kunhen, and many happy people.

Doing the vocals for 'Sexy sadie', along with the melody guitar at the end.And then immediatly driving with Yann straight to Freiburg, Germany, to attend Mike Keneally's concert. I had the opportunity to sing backing vocals on Mike's wonderful song "2001", during the Mike Keneally and Friends show at the Waldsee. I approached Mike during the afternoon soundcheck and asked if he could participate to this song he likes very much. The incredible MK then said the magic word: "Sure !" After the soundcheck I went back to my happy and fullfilled audient position, only to be called to the stage during the evening show to do it "for real" !

Mike Keneally and Friends is MK on guitar, piano and vocals, the amazing Jaan Wessman on bass, and the astonishing Schroeder on drums. That show also featured the guest performances of Johnny Gomer, on acoustic guitar, and Rainer Lenz, on lead vocals. Apart from any family business like getting married and having children and all that stuff, this was the most beautiful day of my life. (so far ;) ).

SUNDAY 12th SEPTEMBER 2004

Recording: 'A day in the life' (SI on take 1)
Recording: 'Comfortably numb'
One-eyed Jack - morning - P: Dude. Present: Doreen, Julian, Domino.

Take 1 of 'A day in the life' was made by David, from Yellow-sub.net. He suggested that we do this cover together, and I liked the idea very much. I modified a bit his version so that the sections after each 'I'd love to turn you on' would be longer', and then I did all the vocals. I also did all the vocals for 'Comfortably numb'..

SUNDAY 5th SEPTEMBER 2004

Recording: 'Sexy Sadie' (take 1)
Recording: 'Four plastic pillars'
France 3 studio - afternoon - P: Dude.

A minidisc recording made at the Steinway piano lying down in the basement studio of the place where I work. I did an instrumental take for 'Sexy Sadie', and another improv. This time I had my Sony stereo microphone, so the sound is quite nice.

THURSDAY 2nd SEPTEMBER 2004

Recording: 'Love you to (take 1)'
One-eyed Jack - morning - P: Dude.

A weird version of the Indian 'Love you to' but for acoustic guitar this time. I used a guitar which I tuned to a C major, I think. I tried hard to play the melodies sitar-like. I also did the voices.
