One Last Time

Okay, I hear you saying, enough with the ancient concert videos.

You're in your 40's. Your hairline has betrayed you. Get over it.

Ah, but I just can't resist. Just one more, okay?

You can't tell in the video, but my guitar strap sports these three buttons on it -- each shows the logo of various youth ministries I had led in different cities across Canada, before returning to my musical roots in the mid-90's.
Video Notes: That white puff of smoke at the very end, coupled with the loud electric shorting-out sound that obliterates even the drummer... was the sight, sound, and smell of my amplifier head experiencing its last throes as it fused itself solid in a white-flamed meltdown, never to rise again. Heck of a way to get a new paperweight. But at least I wasn't electrocuted in the process.

Loved the ending... it was a Spinal Tap moment, with a little more smoke it could have looked like the drummer had spontaneously combusted.

Out of curiosity,was it the last song of your set?

Last note of the last song of my last gig...

Almost spooky, eh?

once you let the magic smoke out, there's no putting it back in, that's for sure.
