When we got back from the photo-shoot John Weywell said
“well that’s quite good, but I think it would be better if you did the waterslide at the end of the season playing the guitar.
I played “Autumn Leaves” to calm me down beforehand, then played and sang “Warning” by Green Day for the trip itself.
Thanks for the suggestion John!
It made the papers- if anyone has a link to one of the reports I’ll add it to the photo 🙂
My first photo shoot.
Olivier and I spent the day skiing around Flegere with Catherine and Maude and playing the guitar. We were all dressed in Victorian costume so that they could shoot a storyline for their photography degrees.
I don’t have a link to their portfolio, but they kindly did some publicity photos and sent them to us.
I blame John Waywell.
Amanda, Olivier and I (collectively “Le Mot”) were asked to play at a mountain refuge where it was strictly ski in and ski out on gnarly black runs.
I was discussing with John how to get the equipment in and out and he said
You absolutely have to ski in playing the guitar.
So I did.
By the time I’d negotiated the Italian bowl I’d drawn quite a crowd and the gig went really well.
2 photography students who’d followed me down asked us to do a photo shoot the next day……..
My first performance at the FUBAR.
Christmas eve 2007.
With Gary Bigham at Les Marmottons
Playing to the mountain at the Refuge D’Argentiere
We dismantled the beds and moved them out and turned the basement into a recording studio for a few days so that Parisian Living could record the Bass and Drums for their new album “Massive in a Parallel Universe”.
We got much more done than any of us expected- I even played some guitar and keys which made it to the final cut.
We also had a great jam session on our wedding anniversary. Thanks guys!
