Coolest(smallest) stage I've ever played on!!! 1931 Ford..

[bottleneckjohn]

Yes, I was invited to play at a HotRod meeting, my stage was the running board of a 1931 Ford Model-A, haha!!!
A small but very cool place to play ol'timey blues...


Ford Model-A 1931..!!


My Amistar "Ol'Rusty"..




With a happy grin on my face, I sure had a good time!



How about the idea of having a full side of an old Ford along as a back-drop, haha!!!??
Hmm, not to easy to fold it and bring in a bag....

Anyway, just wanted to share the rather unusual moment with y'all..


More pics and video clips from the event soon..

Very cool!

Over here we call that step a "running board."

[1dustyeod]

Thats too cool...!!!! It would make a killer CD cover too. I hope you recorded the performance.

[bottleneckjohn]

Thanks guys!!
Yeah, I had a great time there on the "running board"..!!
Thanks Ric for telling me the proper word for the step..!!

Tommy, great idea about the CD photo, I'll use some on my new studio album which btw is ready for release!!!!
And there was some guys filming the gig so I'll put some vids up on YouTube soon!!
Stay tuned, LoL..

The only way that could be any cooler is if it had the bullet holes from when the cops shot Bonnie and Clyde.
Cheers, TB.

Thanks John.

[blueswrench]

That's just too cool!!!

[ricochet]

It got about as many holes shot in it as the car with the groom and best man in it at that recent New York wedding party.

Way cool! And I LOVE that rod with the blown flathead!

[maxx england]

If the car's too big to carry from one gig to the next, how about getting a "bouncy castle" replica?

Or a banner printed up and have a bench in place of the running board?

[bottleneckjohn]

Great idea Maxx!!!

A friend of mine owns a printing company and they can pruduce huge banners and such, I'll talk to him about it..
