The Luckiest Woman in Minneapolis! |
|
My bestest buddies Rick and Cathy Cheeseman caught Thursday night's show at Famous Dave's in Minneapolis, and returned with The Works -- live pictures, reviews, band autographs, a getting signed pic of guitarist Dave Lambert with his resonator (which Eric not only signed, but gave an impromptu recital on!), and MONEY SHOTS out the yin-yang. This was Rick's second Sardinas show, but Cathy's very first! She had her doubts about going [NOTE TO CATHY: Never doubt The Diva!], which lasted all of about 3 nanoseconds into the show! So… Exactly how great of a time did Cathy have? Check her smile, and see for yourself-----> …Then click the following links to see and read all about it: rick cheeseman's live pics (80 pictures on 2 pages) pictures 1-40 | pictures 41-80 EXCERPT: his hands were a blur and I was at a loss - how can anyone's hands move that fast? It seemed impossible. I found myself many times during the night with my mouth hanging open in amazement - how does he do that? The guitar appears to be an extension of Eric's soul - more so than any other guitarist I've ever seen. He is one with it, and the sounds he produces are amazing. |

EXCERPT: …there he [Eric] was, producing spine-tingling riffs that alternately straightened and curled the hairs on the back of my neck! Mike Dupke was more animated this time around on the drums, jumping and wailing on the skins with more abandon than I've seen before. It looked like he really enjoyed being a part of the music, making it just that much more crazed and frenetic. Paul Loranger was bitingly crisp on the bass, yet smooth and sweet as an Amaretto & 7. tour dates >> current >> new and/or shuffled dates From The Official Site (confirmed) and Pollstar (unconfirmed): Click HERE for the updated tour schedule. |

Juanmi in Spain has sent in 37 of the 44 pictures he took at the Jazz & Blues a Benidorm Festival this summer. (I'm trying to talk him into submitting the other seven, which he says are lame, but I want a shot at punching up.) Juanmi's gallery includes a soundcheck pic, 33 live shots, two getting signed pics, and THE MONEY SHOT -- Juanmi and his Plus One with Eric Sardinas! Take a look at this sample picture from Juanmi's gallery---------> Now… Is that a great live shot, or it that a GREAT live shot? I concur! Click HERE to view Juanmi's live gallery. |

Maike has translated Gitarre & Bass' November 2003 Eric Sardinas feature -- "Black Pearls & Blue Notes" -- from German to English, for posting here on RP, and is working on sending in scans of the article, too. [Thanks, Maike!] EXCERPT: On his little finger he wears a messed-up looking slide made of metal. "That's my good-luck-slide," explains Eric. "I have used it for thousands of concerts. This thing landed in the audience, behind the stage, and somehow I always got it back. I'm not superstitious, but I set my heart on this slide."

Tammy, I thought about emailing you about my experience, but it seems I'm still having trouble finding the words to describe it.
Feel free to use my email to Rick below. I'd be flattered to be included on your site. If you ever make it to Minnesota, give me a buzz. I'll take you out for a beer. Thanks for creating such a wonderful resource for all of the Eric fans! xoCathyLee |
