Making peace (I): Roger Caldes

I needed a weekend like this? It is Sunday noon im'adono that I made a piltrafa. Tired and dejected after a tough day yesterday intense labor. But content and animadíssim by the results of the weekend. A kind of black and white that are controlled, taking advantage of the hangover that accompany me to sleep, take a protagonisma rather exaggerated.

Friday, finally, I could put myself behind a table so to return to do a concert with Roger more, this time, now, in training quintet. This means that, Ademir him and his guitar, is surrounded by nine of the usual troupe that if Pinyu on drums (yes yes, drums, no semi-percussion), as Arcadi the bass (I think who killed the electric bass), the power of Ivan (not cost way too much into the songs without the need of one, two, three, four of rigor) and even close to the keyboard, a piano, led by Guitar. A new directory (but not new songs) that was trying to bring the viewer into the world of Verdaguer and "Songs lúriques phone," but without forgetting the "Mystic home," with some new arrangements, because they do not say it, the better go to listen.

The concert took place in Santa Coloma de Farners (two years was that there tocàvem), in a garden courtyard of a school forest, in fact, a former home of such immense joy that did well. Some 300 more chairs and wooden expected an audience, as always, showed varied in age but be aware the bid. Despite being a free concert, the school-stage at times is quite far from the village, so who would not only "going around." It may be so, the organization awarded later with a drink of which now do not remember the name. The stereo almost no problem, since I had the opportunity to ask it myself, and that the budgets are often tight and space was not for so many people, I go back to Sound JC (but were not so tight ....) Pity the GL3800 instead of the ML requested, or the half of the PA, although honestly admit that I had enough with what they ride me (because only 300 seats mount ...). PA monitoring from that, as I noted in many cases with Roger and company have more than enough.

The story took place just a half concert. He had seen the weather and although chances of tormentes announced and / or local ruixtas dispersed and it was just north of the country, "there in the Pyrenees," therefore, not only if I did too. And indeed, since it arrived at the site vem wore a splendid sun, of course, Albert il'Aputxa (or John) was "grateful" enormously. Sort fresh water that came just after 4 pm ... And it is also true that when the concert started VEM, with only 15 minutes late (it is pretty good ... Casuma) saw a lightning There sky above, the bottom left hand. Well, look, a nuvolet also wanted to see the concert, and half of the repertoire, s'ens approached too. Yes, a nuvolet those who achieve to get off stage, to make us run and cover everything, do to move the current public school in that it became, for a moment, in a shelter improvitzat. He stopped ... but the public (or we) will give up VEM. So to uncover everything, check it and forward the atxes! Thank you, of course, the work-as soon as the patient-technical (Albert and Joan ... yeah, yeah ... just two).

Total, which was returning to a concert with Roger, where all were wonderful and, again, where we spend so vem well, right from the start, including rain (which, by the way, he gives prominence to "I the rain was dry ") ... that we were missing. The misfortune is that, to go back to the quintet, I will have to wait for the second opportunity, the next, the Saints, will be in with Marky. Good concert, and making peace with me, Roger and the whole band, which was not much that we were playing and we passed it well. Ah! Another curiosity technique for reasons that are beside the point, that night did not have the Shure Beta87 normally amount to at Roger, and the Shure SM58 turn offs for him too (for his voice), I wanted to try a microphone that was in the pipeline: a Shure 86. To understand the non-beta version and economic Beta87 and the result ... I love it!
