    From our gig at The Green Parrot, December 2015, maybe? Three members of the Norwegian band Berserk Bastards came to visit, loot, and pillage the town and its inhabitants, and three of us local musicians joined them in this endeavor. This was one of the most fun bands I've ever had the pleasure and honor of joining. The lead singer was quite a character - an able seaman as well as musician. He was part of a crew that sailed through the Northwest Passage of North America, all of which was recorded for a Norwegian TV series. Many years ago the bass player (with whom I've been in six bands, or more) spent some time in Norway, which is where he met them, and ended up producing an album. It was at his suggestion that they come here and see what would happen. A lot did. I've got lots of stills, some of which I've posted, but this video showed up as a facebook memory, much to my good fortune and delight. My solo is about two minutes around and goes pretty quickly. I rarely am very impressed by my playing, but this time I am. I don't know how I got the idea to throw triplets into my lead, but I pulled it off. Enjoy!

    Thank you! Yes, it was, as much as I remember. Which, sadly, isn't much - there were certainly some inebriants involved, and also, those Norwegians, especially the lead singer, were rather rambunctious. Fred the Red's charisma and charm led us to do a lot of gigs in short order, and a lot of that two months is a blur. It was at the time, and the time since has only blurred it more. One of the most memorable shows was the one time we played at Schooner Wharf, one of my most frequented clubs, which is owned by a Swedish lady. I'm not sure how, but rancor between the two developed almost immediately after we started. We had to cut it short a bit. At least there was no bloodshed.

    But I'm grateful this video showed up. I knew there were some out there, somehow. Thanks to the bass player's recollection, I've tracked down several more. This really seems like the best one from this show. The others are a bit rough. As you can see, Fred drank and smoked onstage, all through the gig, so by the end, he would be pretty loose. The fiddler with the odd technique and I maintained some modicum of coherence, but it was a struggle. Still, I would join up again for another round in a heartbeat.

    Thanks, Frank. I always enjoy your tunes, even more than your photo montages.

    A couple of traditional songs, one English, one French. Bonus points to whoever can name everything in the background of both .

    In the first clip, I see a can of Heinz vegetarian (I think) beans, a jar of Marmite, and a bottle of HP sauce - lovely stuff, named for its being served at the Houses of Parliament. (Extra points for anyone who can correctly guess which of those I have on hand. ) In the second clip, je voix un sac d'oignons et une bouteille (il est difficile de dire de quoi; peut être de l'huile d'olive, du vinaigre balsamique, ou du vin.)

    Looks like it was easier than I thought. Since you're from the USA (according to your profile), I'm impressed with your knowledge of British foods. You're spot on anyway: baked beans (when would beans not be vegetarian, unless they had something else added?), marmite and HP sauce.
    Je ne parles la francais but I think I got the gist of your second video guesses, which were pretty spot on too: A load of onions (because of the song) and a bottle of balsamic vinegar trying it's best to pretend to look French wine. I wish I had a baguette that day.

    Well, to be fair, the Marmite IS labelled thusly. The reason I specified "vegetarian" beans is that that's how they are labelled here, with the color of the label indicating that variety. It's much more common here for cans of beans to contain a wee bit of pork, mostly fat. Indeed, the labels usually say "pork and beans," even though they should clearly be labelled the other way around. That little bit of pork doesn't add much flavor, as far as I can tell, and it's mostly fat. Sometimes I'll separate that, render it in a pan, saute some onions in it, then stir in the beans. Yep - haute cuisine with beans.

    I went with French for thematic consistency with the national origin of the second song.

    Oh, and apparently it wasn't all that easy. Looks like people were stumped for more than a day.
