Bob McChesney at Charlie O’s #2

This last Tuesday we went to Charlie O’s to listen to Bob McChesney again. Apparently he was a bit upset arriving to the gig just settling with the fact that his wife the hour before by mistake had rammed the car into a fence after having their dog running out in front of her. I was already late and he had to leave for his concert. His wife obviously did not show up but we met his daughter instead who was there to help Bob do some filming and sound recording. According to both Mattias and me, Bob for sure has some catching up to do on his internet presence. He does have a web site with some badly updated stuff. In these times of YouTube and MySpace it is for sure time for him to get a profile, some movies and sound clips uploaded to both those site to give him the recognition he for sure deserves being such a fantastic and unique trombone player. Not jumping to conclusions here but it is funny that the week after Mattias tells him to put more music and video on the internet, he appears with a fancy video camera and a camera girl…
Anyways, the concert this time with Bob was so much more interesting than last time. We loved the bass player he played with who was sitting in with the band flying on from New York. Great player. Bob himself played incredibly well. He seemed to let go a bit more this time and really got some amazing trombone playing happening. Good times. It is my turn to take a lesson with him, so I asked him for that. He also has planned to bring us this coming monday to a recording session in Fox studios for a couple of takes for the Simpsons, yes that cartoon series with the yellow people. We have wanted to see a recording session since we got here; we are really excited!
