Craig & Verda McFarlane flew into DC, stayed at Trudi's brother's (Dan & Susan) house in Northern VA, and drove up to see us on the 23rd. We went to a new <a href="http://www.carlisle-restaurants.com/chaparrita%e2%80%99s/">Mexican Restaurant here in Carlisle</a>, and went to see a movie. Then on the 28th Trudi's sister Angie & her new boyfriend Jeff flew in to town too. We drove down to DC on the 29th to hang out with everyone on the national mall. We started at the <a href="http://americanhistory.si.edu/">American History Museum</a>, then had lunch in the waterfall cafeteria between the two art museums, then checked out the new <a href="http://www.americanindian.si.edu/">American Indian museum</a>, and the <a href="http://www.usbg.gov/">Botanical Garden</a>. At around 4pm we left DC and headed down Wisconsin Blvd to the <a href="http://www.nationalcathedral.org/">National Cathedral</a>, then we had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants from when we used to live in Rockville (<a href="http://fortunestarbuffet.com/">Fortune Star</a>). After dinner we drove to the LDS temple to see the annual festival of lights. There was a live nativity set up outside with the Christmas lights, and inside the <a href="http://lds.org/placestovisit/eng/visitors-centers/washington-d-c-temple-visitors-center">visitor's center</a> there were several nativity sets from around the globe (I only got pictures of a few, there were a lot of really cool hand carved/hand crafted sets). Then we got to watch a jazz trio "Trifecta" perform six songs (video clips included at the end of the slide show below), what I didn't get was the witty asides the musicians made between songs, if you get a chance check them out.</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /><embed src="http://p.webshots.com/flash/smallslideshow.swf" flashvars="playList=http%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.webshots.com%2Fslideshow%2Fmeta%2F579377551xrGPdw%3Finline%3Dtrue&inlineUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.webshots.com%2FinlinePhoto%3FalbumId%3D579377551%26src%3Ds%26referPage%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Ffamily.webshots.com%2Fslideshow%2F579377551xrGPdw&postRollContent=http%3A%2F%2Fp.webshots.com%2Fflash%2Fws_postroll.swf&shareUrl=http%3A%2F%2Ffamily.webshots.com%2Fslideshow%2F579377551xrGPdw&audio=on&audioVolume=33&autoPlay=false&transitionSpeed=5&startIndex=0&panzoom=on&deployed=true" menu="false" quality="best" width="425" height="384" name="WebshotsSlideshowPlayer" base="http%3A%2F%2Fp.webshots.com%2Fflash%2F" wmode="opaque" allowscriptaccess="always" loop="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http%3A%2F%2Fwww.macromedia.com%2Fgo%2Fgetflashplayer"></embed><br /><br /><a href="http://family.webshots.com/album/579377551xrGPdw">McFarlane Family Christmas 2010</a><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:verdana;">New Year's Eve we drove back down and had dinner at a cool Vietnamese restaurant in the seven corners area of Falls Church, VA (<a href="http://www.edencenter.com/detail.php?aid=5&menuid=1&detailid=81">Viet Royale</a>).

Gary has lost 18 pounds, Trudi has lost 85 pounds. We are both back to the size and shape we were when we met 20 years ago. The surprising thing is how we feel. Gary had some nerve pain in his left hand that used to hurt constantly (not good for a guitar player that uses that hand to fret <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfL8Fv96Xb5ph3-OsvWlvh2R0yDM3kepU5MznAbcE7mF9J9KtRvE4tU-5Ovy0SiJqTW46at9sLMAhqi5aL5kwyu9DjXT5ml7FyuSpMsWU3R4hqvs6-9fq4G-89_dIIA2LRJQw_mSG_k02r/s1600/tamra01.JPG"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 116px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfL8Fv96Xb5ph3-OsvWlvh2R0yDM3kepU5MznAbcE7mF9J9KtRvE4tU-5Ovy0SiJqTW46at9sLMAhqi5aL5kwyu9DjXT5ml7FyuSpMsWU3R4hqvs6-9fq4G-89_dIIA2LRJQw_mSG_k02r/s200/tamra01.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554366759906378418" border="0" /></a>the neck of the guitar). He now barely feels any pain in his hand. Trudi’s knees used to hurt all the time, even more when she was tired so much so that sometimes she would have to take the stairs to our second floor apartment one step at a time.

What do you think?Bushmaster (Gary Brown - guitar, vocals; Vinnie Hunter - bass; Greg Phillips - drums) start their second set at Delmarva Bike Week 2009 with one of their original songs "Good Life". <br /><br />Usually when there are multiple bands performing on the same stage, the same day, there is a short 15-20 minute switch over time (for the bands to move equipment around). This day there was a whole hour between bands - plenty of time (and then some)... Watch what is going on behind us by the band scheduled to go on after us - Aeroforce (an Aerosmith tribute band from Canada)... <br /><br />With that in mind - How do you explain this rude behavior (at the beginning of our second hour - two hours before the next band is scheduled to start)???... <br />A.) the fact that we played our own original music - and the crowd liked it?<br />B.) did Gary not mention their band enough (even though he said it almost every song)?<br />C.) did one of their girlfriends stare at Gary too much, or clap too much?<br />D.) All of the above?<br /><br />What do you think about what happened? Has something like this happened to you or your band? Please give me some feedback...<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7fLJbMCRa6k&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7fLJbMCRa6k&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Trudi & Garyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13941692151676468481noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650515376181778934.post-81491957400649555142009-09-22T16:16:00.000-07:002009-09-22T17:09:24.885-07:00Delmarva Bike Week 2009 - part 1Gary Brown and his band Bushmaster performed at Delmarva Bike Week 2009 (<a href="http://www.delmarvabikeweek.com">www.delmarvabikeweek.com</a>). From 2pm till 4pm at the Winter Place Park in Salisbury, MD, they entertained motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the country. Thanks to Kerry Mendenhall for organizing the event, Skip and his crew from <a href="http://www.myspace.com/miragesoundcompany">Mirage Sound Co</a> for doing such an awesome job on running the stage and the sound. <br /><br />Gary Brown - guitar, vocals<br />Vinnie Hunter - bass<br />Greg Phillips - drums<br /><br />This is the first of several blogs we will post from Bushmaster's performance that day, make sure you check out some of the other clips too. We recorded audio cliips too and you can find those on our podcast (www.podomatic/profile/bushmasterblues) and/or embedded in our blog (www.myspace.com/bushmasterblues). I tried to merge the zoom audio onto the video footage, but my computer isn't cooperating... time for a new hard drive arghh...<br /><br />Anyway, the weather was perfect, the crowd was receptive and cool, and we got to see all manner of cool motorcycles. Michelle Oxley from the Beachcomber newspaper interviewed me ahead of time to generate buzz about our performance, <a href="http://www.gobeachcomber.com/article/20090917/ENTERTAINMENT02/90917030/1040/ENTERTAINMENT">click here</a> to read the article.

Surprise, just as we crossed the last bridge into Ocean City, the sky parted, sun peaked through, and there was a seagull on most of the light posts watching the sky change colors with us... Amazingly the water was warm and calm too, couldn't resist, got wet up past my knees...
<br />
<br />The gig at the Steer Inn (www.myspace.com/thesteerinn) was fun too. We were greeted by a warm/supportive crowd ready to party.
<br />
<br />Here's four songs from our performance for you to enjoy and/or download... Crossing my fingers that Friday's show (9/18/09) at Delmarva Bike Week (2pm-4pm on the stage at Winter Place Park, 6737 Blue Ribbon Rd, Salisbury, MD 21804) will have great weather and we will get a chance to swim in the ocean one more time this year... Hope to see you there! :-)
<br />
<br />As always, please let me know what you think of the clips, all your critiques help me get better!

Playing bass that night was Gabriel Middleton (of Funktion), and Ezell Jones was on drums (currently of the Skyla Burrell band, and formerly part of Duffy Kane and Black Manhattan). This is one of the funkier rhythm sections that Gary plays with... Here are some audio clips from the last set. I put them up on a couple of different sites, let me know which service you like better and why, so that I can make this better in the future.

<br />Looking forward to hearing your comments, thanks, GaryTrudi & Garyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13941692151676468481noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650515376181778934.post-21371608254172805162009-08-23T20:33:00.000-07:002009-08-23T21:07:44.434-07:00Here's some new audio clips from recent live performances. For those of you who have been asking for more tunage, you can download them too. These were recorded using our Zoom H2 digital recorder in 24bit, so the sound quality is like you're in the room with us - or maybe you were...<br /><br />Our friend Mike Gordon works at Patuxent Nursery in Bowie, MD, and hired us to play at their summer festival/tent event. It was a really hot but beautiful sunny day, we met some great new friends, ate some snowcones, and had fun. Greg Phillips played drums, and Bob Frye played bass on this track. They work well together and we had so much fun musically, I almost didn't mind the heat.<br /><br /><div style="text-align:center;width:425px;"><div><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="200" width="400" align="middle" data="http://www.ourstage.com/embed/playlist/XYKTLVJHVTHL.swf"><param name="movie" value="http://www.ourstage.com/embed/playlist/XYKTLVJHVTHL.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed src="http://www.ourstage.com/embed/playlist/XYKTLVJHVTHL.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="400" height="200"></embed></object></div><div><a href="http://www.ourstage.com/embed/footer/XYKTLVJHVTHL"><img src="http://www.ourstage.com/embed/XYKTLVJHVTHL.png" alt="www.ourstage.com" style="border:none;" /></a></div></div><br /><br />These next four are in order that they were played... My friend (and former student) Kevin Cloud is in a band called Phipps & Phriends, who host an open mic every Wednesday at a place just a few blocks from our house.

So when our friend Kenyon called and asked if we'd "come up and see the show" we were both really excited about the adventure. ... Kenyon is one of Gary's best friends, he's the reason we moved to Carlisle, and he was our downstairs neighbor for a while before he passed the NY bar exam (on the first try) and moved to Kingston, NY, to join his uncle's law firm... "Come up" means drive 4 1/2 hours to New York City... and "the show" means Lance Lopez and his amazing left hand were going to be performing at B.B. King's Lucille's Grill on 42nd Street (between 7th & 8th Ave) - yes that's TIMES SQUARE!!!<br /><br />Even though we've had gigs in New York State, I've (Trudi) never been to the city. Gary has told me stories of when he went (back in the 80's with friends), and we've been trying to find an excuse to go, especially since it's not as scary as it used to be. So this was a welcome opportunity, plus Kenyon & (his lovely/awesome girlfriend) Lucille were going to be there with us to hang out, they had reserved a table right in front of the stage, and we were going to stay overnight at their place afterward. Great right - everybody was excited!!!<br /><br />OK so... the morning of the show, we get up I check the pollen count, Gary takes a Zyrtec and we head off toward NYC. Silly me didn't check the pollen count for NYC or for the places in between and after about 2 - 3 hours in the car my eyes are watery/itchy/red. I'm thinking "great now everyone is going to think I've got the swine flu and we won't get let in..." so we stop and buy more Zyrtec for me. We are in Clinton, NJ, now and getting hungry and we are ahead of schedule, so... as we're getting a sandwich... Kenyon calls "Gary where are you guys... I've got a fever... I really want to go to the show... I'm sick... cough, cough, cough..." - you fill in the rest of the conversation.<br /><br />Mannnnn... oh well, we're here now (practically) let's go to the show anyway, and Kenyon will just have to miss out, cause I'm not getting sick behind his hard head, especially since Gary's got to gig the next night.<br /><br />Thank goodness Gary was helping me navigate, I almost missed our turn off of 95 toward the Lincoln Tunnel, and you DO NOT want to get lost in NYC. I couldn't believe how close it was to the venue from where the tunnel ended - right onto 42nd street, could not have been easier! Got to the parking lot that B.B.King's validates for, then we walked around for a while looking at all the cool lights, buildings, marques, and mostly cool people!!<br /><br />So anyway... the club was cool (beautiful mahogany walls, inlaid tables, etc), the waitresses were friendly and funny, and Lucille nursed Kenyon's symptoms enough that they ended up coming to the show after all.<br /><br />Alright already, I know all you guitar heads are skipping over the rest of my rambling to get to this part so here you go... LANCE LOPEZ has the left hand of a lightning bolt! He played for almost 2 1/2 hours straight before he even thought about taking a break. Closed his eyes, and just blazed though extra-extended versions of some our favorites of his songs... yes Gary and Kenyon just sat there with their mouths open. Oh and his rhythm section is to die for, these guys are no nonsense funk machines that make 2 1/2 hours of rhythmic mastery look like no big deal!<br /><br />Here's some pictures for you (thanks Lucille for bringing your camera):<br /><div style="width:480px; text-align: center;"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w112.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w112.photobucket.com/albums/n181/trudimbrown/Lance Lopez 30April09/ce4ed34c.pbw" height="360" width="480"></embed><a href="http://photobucket.com/slideshows" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" /></a><a href="http://s112.photobucket.com/albums/n181/trudimbrown/Lance%20Lopez%2030April09/?action=view&current=ce4ed34c.pbw" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" /></a></div>Trudi & Garyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13941692151676468481noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650515376181778934.post-1683706262305439722009-04-01T17:04:00.000-07:002009-04-01T17:11:07.081-07:00New Zoom H2 Digital RecorderFor our Christmas present we got a Zoom H2 digital recorder.

We enjoy the opportunity to entertain and hang out with you when you've found time to come out to one of our performances. It is the feedback I receive from my family, friends, and fans that keeps me enthused and energized about creating the very best musical experience/performance I can.<br /><br />An exciting opportunity has presented itself recently to work with one of the premier music promoters in the business. In order for me to take advantage of this opportunity, however, I could really use some help from my biggest supporters - you! The band needs to go back into the studio and produce a new product (CD) that the promoter can push to the industry execs, labels, major publications, and others who can help me and the band get to the next level.<br /><br />To this end, I am currently looking for new venues to perform in so the band can get more fans, earn money toward studio costs, and perform and work out the kinks on some new tunes for the new cd. ...<br /><br />So what I really want to ask is - do you know of any venues, in your area (or elsewhere) that I currently do not perform at, that you could recommend that I check out? Any and all help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks again, looking forward to seeing you again soon at a show,<br /><br />Gary Brown - Bushmaster<br />bushmasterblues@yahoo.com<br />www.MySpace.com/BushmasterBlues<br /></div>Trudi & Garyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13941692151676468481noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650515376181778934.post-73439943985912551732009-01-20T10:20:00.000-08:002009-01-20T10:53:28.747-08:00We are still partying - Go OBAMA!!Here are a few of our favorite clips from the past few days and inaugural proceedings - enjoy :-)<br /><br />Itzhak Pearlman, Yo Yo Ma, Gabriela Montero, and Anthony McGill perform at the inauguration<br /><div><iframe height="339" width="425" src="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp/28738382#28738382" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe><style type="text/css">.msnbcLinks {font-size:11px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999; margin-top: 5px; background: transparent; text-align: center; width: 425px;} .msnbcLinks a {text-decoration:none !important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; font-weight:normal !important; height: 13px;} .msnbcLinks a:link, .msnbcLinks a:visited {color: #5799db !important;} .msnbcLinks a:hover, .msnbcLinks a:active {color:#CC0000 !important;} </style><p class="msnbcLinks">Visit msnbc.com for <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/">Breaking News</a>, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032507">World News</a>, and <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032072">News about the Economy</a></p></div><br /><br />Benediction by Joseph Lowery<br /><div><iframe height="339" width="425" src="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp/28738420#28738420" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe><style type="text/css">.msnbcLinks {font-size:11px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999; margin-top: 5px; background: transparent; text-align: center; width: 425px;} .msnbcLinks a {text-decoration:none !important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; font-weight:normal !important; height: 13px;} .msnbcLinks a:link, .msnbcLinks a:visited {color: #5799db !important;} .msnbcLinks a:hover, .msnbcLinks a:active {color:#CC0000 !important;} </style><p class="msnbcLinks">Visit msnbc.com for <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/">Breaking News</a>, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032507">World News</a>, and <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032072">News about the Economy</a></p></div><br /><br />Usher, Shakira, and of course Stevie Wonder perform Higher Ground at pre inaug party<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3PGMCfoZLVw&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3PGMCfoZLVw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Who was that nice lady???<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QzJclSvAz7o&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QzJclSvAz7o&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Love to see/hear about your favorite moments too :-)<br />Trudi & GaryTrudi & Garyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13941692151676468481noreply@blogger.com0
