Bird_at_Dogs

Well another year, another Dogs. It was a great night at Buddie’s Tavern, the place was packed, and people were feelin’ good. There was a local public television station present and they did interviews with many musicians playing that night. Bird’s Keith and Geoff were interviewed. The performances were broadcast on 3 television sets above the bar almost live! I only say that bc there was a brief second or two lag. But wow, little Buddies is embracing technology, going hi-fi.

Zigman Bird did three covers and an original. David Bowie’s “Moonage Daydream”, The Kinks “Victoria”, and Police’s “It’s Alright for You”. The original was a Keith Beck standard, “Compromise”.

The bands played for charity, which is great bc there are so many people in need these days. We humans need to stick together. Special thanks to Buddie’s and everyone participating for the 23rd annual Dogs of War. 23rd? Yeah, I was told 23rd, and that’s lot of history.

Here’s a full listing of bands from the event:

The Molecular Blues Machine, Mad Lees Union, Bullet Train, The Marbles, Goyum Bongo Volante, The F Bombs, Brian and the Shadowroaders, Elvis, Big Daddy and the Death Machine, Rachel and the Lost Boys, Thomas Martin, Van Cleef, Zigman Bird, Schnitzel, Joe Canzano, The Beards, The Dead Pony Cats

The Regular Boys, aka Zigman Bird, had a great time at the Cup last night. At first things looked bleak, having been designated the last band of the night slot. It was nearly 10:30 and the first band, Bullet Train, hadn’t even begun. But then things were looking up bc ZB were feeling their jam. Kudo’s to Bullet Train and Rebel Pawn who put on great sets of their own. Thanks to all those that made it out, especially Tony and Nick.

Here is the set from the gig:

  1. 3,000 Miles
  2. Hope You Don’t Mind
