Guest Book

Maybe with folks snowbound, this is a good time to recruit some volunteers to help spread several Derek Trucks Band shows. Did you know that HAHT Software unknowingly played a key role in helping formulate the current DTB lineup? It's true. On several occasions, HAHT hosted private parties for their clients and hired the DTB to perform (how cool is that!!!) On 2/3/99 at The Four Points Hotel in Raleigh, Derek, Yonrico & Todd were joined for the entire show by Kofi Burbridge. Supposedly, this is the first time that Kofi had played with the other three. Later that year, Kofi began touring with the band and became a full-fledged member in 2000. Now, his contributions to the DTB can't be overstated. Sometimes, a single spark can start a fire. What made that performance even more unique is that Rowland asked the band to play "some light jazz" in case people wanted to visit during the show. So, this is very likely the only time that the DTB played, or will ever play, an entirely instrumental show. On another occasion, 6/18/96, a similar client get together occurred at the Louisiana Cajun Bar & Grill in NYC. Again with the DTB performing. Both shows are audience source, two discs each. Neither, to the best of my knowledge, has ever circulated. As if Rowland & Lana haven't already done so many amazing things for our benefits, Rowland has done it again. He had the foresight to tape both shows and has been kind enough to provide me with a copy of each. That is where the volunteers are needed. I will provide each of four volunteers (two for each show) a copy of these performances. That's if you're willing to go to the "Trades" section of the Forum and offer to B&P ten others a copy of your show. Please post here on the guest book which show you're willing to B&P and then head to the Forum and make your offer there. After posting in the Forum, PM me with your addy so I can send a copy of your show to you. Again, I'd like two volunteers for each show (6/18/96 & 2/3/99) so we can get these spread far and wide. These are hot HAHT shows, so who is volunteering?
