The Band >> press and media HOT! "Music from The Heart" Eric Sardinas Interview by Keith DuCharme The Fans >> Getting Signed - elaine flynn - nov 16, 2002 - cozy's - sherman oaks, ca My close personal friend Elaine Flynn has sent in scans of her band autographs from Cozy's on November 16, 2002. You can see them, and read her impressions of Eric Sardinas, HERE. [Elaine lives in New Jersey. She was in town to visit me, and to stalk Aerosmith. Just kidding... Not really! No, really... It wasn't stalking, so much as worshipping. Yeah, that's the ticket...] Elaine managed to get signed by all three band members, and even had pictures taken with them by me. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to locate the disposable camera that I used to shoot the pics. [Things always get a little crazy around here when Aerosmith is in California.] Fear not! I am going to find the missing disposable this weekend if it kills me. I love a project! Dear Diva - "that long curly hair?" Q. Hey, do you know the song that Eric plays at his shows and it starts out something like, "I've got this woman and she's got that long curly hair?" It's a slow and steamy song. I love it, but I don't know who originally sang it or what it's called. Please help!!!! - Amy A. Oh my! Yes... Yes, I most certainly do know that song. It happens to be one of my favorite songs that the band performs live. [I have long, curly hair.] However, as much as I love it, I don't have a definitive answer to your question. There are just so many blues songs with similar lyrics, including (but not limited to):
Furry Lewis - "Goin' To Brownsville" Mississippi Fred McDowell - "Gravel Road Blues" (versions 1 and 2) Sleepy John Estes - "The Girl I Love, She Got Long Black Curly Hair" Muddy Waters - "Meanest Woman" Alvin Youngblood Hart - "Big Mama's Door"
Dear Diva - mundelein live bootleg cd's? Q. Hi again. I was wondering what happened with that Mundelein Bootleg you got? Are you ready to trade yet? Let me know. - Mark A. I've shipped copies of the bootleg to two hardcore Sardinas fans, and asked them to compile independent track/set lists. As soon as they get back to me with their expert opinions, I will compare theirs with mine, create the liner notes, and post about it on "The Latest." Once I do, I'd be happy to trade with you. |

[This may very well be the coolest thing ever on this site! Did I mention YOWZA?] kim craig's mini-review: october 2, 2003 - chip's - winder, georgia In my inbox... Never have these eyes and ears beheld such a savage assault on six strings as I witnessed when Eric stepped onto the stage! The man is amazing! This was my first time to see him live but not my last, I assure you! I was hypnotized and in awe of him from the first screaming notes and his lighting fast play. He feels every note and draws you right into the soul of every lick he plays. What can I say about the exploding beer bottle? He put on an exhibition in showmanship that was fantastic, and afterwards was as humble and friendly to the fans as anyone could be. Eric Sardinas is already a master of the blues and is on his way to becoming a legend in his own time! Do not miss a chance to see him!! - Kim Craig justin crafton's concert pics: june 6, 2003 - roadhouse blues - wichita, kansas Justin has sent in CD's containing the original scans of his Wichita pics, all 100+ of them! The scans aren't high-resolution, except for The Money Shots -- three of 'em! But what the show pics lack in resolution, they more than make up for in sheer VOLUME! [This isn't the only thing Justin sent me, but it's going to take some time for me to work my way through all his goodies! Bear with me. More Justin stuff coming soon...] my concert pics: november 16, 2002 - cozy's - sherman oaks, california Mission accomplished! I've finally found the long-lost disposable camera that I took to Cozy's almost a year ago. This was the night that I escorted visiting New Jersey-ite Elaine Flynn (my good friend and Co-Founding Member of The Outlaw Aerosmith Lust Posse) and Aaron Michanik (Elaine's PST -- Personal Steven Tyler) to their first Eric Sardinas show. They had a blast, as did I. I took five shots of her/them with the band -- three posed, two candid -- and nine live show pics! The good news: The pics RAWK! The bad news: The Rite-Aid scans (first and second tries at two separate locations) SUCK! I am publishing my reworks of the scans anyway, but I'll be replacing them as soon as I have the pics rescanned. And while we're on the subject... |

Webmistress >> a fatwa on rite-aid! The prints of my November 16th show pics are (to coin a phrase) picture-perfect. Take a look at this small sample section of Rite-Aid's scan of one of those picture-perfect prints. ---> Riddle me this: How do picture-perfect prints wind up looking like this when scanned? (Hint: In case you're wondering, there was neither a laser light show, nor a smoke machine in use, at this particular show.) Answer: They were scanned by incompetents at Rite-Aid, one of whom had the temerity to say to me, "I've been working here for years, and you're the first person to ever complain." Yeah, right! A fatwa on Rite-Aid! |
