Homeskoolin’ Bonus “Boston Memories”

Well kids, I played a super fun show at “The Gaaahhden” in Boston last night with the Jim Irsay band.
Go ahead and say what you want about Irsay being a money grubbing billionaire (like you guys always do anytime I mention his name)......but he put on an absolutely free concert for the entire city of Boston that probably cost him millions solely out of the goodness of his heart..
Thanks to all the many Homeskoolers who came out and showed their comfy HS t shirts.
Just some random rehearsal clips, starring...
Duke Levine, Kevin Cronin, Kenny Aronoff, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Mike Mills, Ebo, Carmella Ramsey , Mike Wanchic, Danny Nucci, Michael Ramos and many others

    We had the best time last night in Boston. Uncle Larry was so great. Perfect sideman. Serious face and all smiles at just the right moments. It was like 4 shows within a show. We go to about 80 shows a year and this was top notch, this was a truely on of the great shows of the year! Props to Jim Irsay he was a humble and fun loving guy, a great host!

    Hey Tom, it was great to see you live and in person! I was the guy in Boston holding the "I am homeschooled by Uncle Larry" sign, I could not believe you got that pic right to me. It must've been 30 feet through traffic. If this guitar thing doesn't work out for you there maybe a future in professional disc golf. I loved watching you play, so many inversions and variations for every chord that even your rhythm playing comes through in a 4 guitar lineup. I am thankful to Mr. Irsay for the whole show, the memorabilia display alone is museum worthy, but I'm really most thankful for him dragging the session man up to the northeast. Come visit us again soon. Thanks for a great time.

    “The” Black Strat. At age 16 in August of 1980 I had saved about $1000 dollars from my after school and summer job and flew with a friend of mine from Texas to London to see “The Wall” concert. David Gilmour playing the solos to Comfortably Numb on top of that giant wall with a spotlight on him(with that guitar) is about the most badass thing I’ve ever experienced. So, so cool that you got to play it.

    Years ago, I saw Irsay get interviewed on CBS Sunday Morning showing all of the famous instruments he had in his collection and I was kind of bummed they weren't getting played but, finding out through Uncle Larry that Irsay puts on these shows has been pretty cool. Way better than just seeing the instruments at a museum.

It's still the USA, and he is free to do as he wishes. I don't have much $$, but I'll always defend his right to do what he wants to with his! I really enjoy these videos of practice, they take me back to my favorite times as a guitar player! I really miss it so much. 8( --gary
