Daytrotter, Rock Island, Old Man River

Last night we got to Rock Island Illinois, part of the Quad Cities (Rock Island, Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline). Downtown of Davenport and Rock Island are pretty much dead. Lots of boarded up windows, buildings for lease or for sale. We went to a show at the Redstone Room and saw A Sides, who did a Daytrotter session yesterday.






Daytrotter (daytrotter.com) was wonderful. Third floor of an old radio station; a tracking booth, an instrument room, and a sound room filled with vintage amps and cool keyboards, pedals, electric pianos. I played through a 15" Fender Deluxe. It sounded amazing. Thinking about swapping the Deville for a Deluxe.









The session went great, we played Ortolan, Animals, When it all went wrong, and This old home, all to 1/4" tape.
