OH MY GOD! I saw Han Bennink last night!!!
So yes, I saw Han Bennink last night for 20 bucks... And there was only 20 people there, and i talked to him for over an HOUR!.. Not only is this guy the BEST avant-gard drummner ever, he is a totaly down to earth guy who is just really nice...

But the gig, oh my the gig!!! 90 minutes of pure joy!.. It has changed my perspective on live music, and the use of acoustic instruments... It almost (I said almost) made me want to chuck out all my pedals, sell all my electric gear and buy an Upright... He reminded me of the posibilities of acoustic instruments, and inspired me to dive back into acoustic/upright bass and/or instruments... Hell the guy did not even need drums or sticks, he used everything he could get his hands on and made it work... And his kit was extreamly minimal... I felt like a changed man...

Hell he even gave a a hug before the gig and when I was leaving, just because I drove 5 hours to come see him...

If you don't know who he is go to HERE.
