Here's a collection of my solos for your enjoyment. My thoughts on drum solos- I really don't care much for them, as it's usually a "white-knuckled ride" for me. I'd rather be playing music but getting a little piece here & there is way cool.
So here we are, Jeff Moore & the Witchdoctors (a longtime San Diego Institution) rocking out at a Laguna Beach club called Mozambique'. Trendy place, but so sweet for doing video and audio!
Personnel as follows- Jeff Moore-guitar, O'Malley Jones-vocals, Rick Nash-bass, the keyboardist I have no clues who he is. But it would have sounded much better had he not gotten on our stage and proceeded to play wrong notes and hunt & peck for the right ones. Hey, I got paid and that's what I was there for. The video was an added bonus!
This was a particularly hard night for me. I had gotten some really rotten news that day due to some family matters so if I appear a bit dazed, it's because I had that running through my head.
My old band The Playground Slap did a gig at the Tiki in Pacific Beach (San Diego). Here is a rather humorous take on what a drum solo ought to be like in that band....
This is my buddy Chris DeJesus. In 2001 We were playing in The Michael Bliss Band and had this gig in San Diego at the old Indian Motorcycle dealership on Kearney Villa Road. This video pretty much speaks for itself.
