At Molly Malone's Irish Pub (www.mollymalonescambodia.com) I played music every monday and i started calling this 'Highway 6 Rebuilt Tour' in my time of Siem Reap stay there were 5 shows total all full of variety and guests. Thanks to Emer and Thierry, owners of the place who let me have this oppotunity, i was able to correct charity money from audience, soon i will be buying sets of swings for the schoolyard in poum steung.
Feb. 5th, this is Mr. Mann's 'Khmer 5', a group of children i had met and played together in Wat Bo some weeks before.
Mabel Blue, a hummingbird from England (mabel_blue@myspace.com) has a haunting voice and Fabien Leseqc can play guitar to anybody's any tune. Especially his solo on my "Highway 6 Rebuilt" progressively became smoother and more melodic each week, that was the highlight of the show. Here in the picture on the left three of us play Crosby Stills Nash & Young's "Helpless", for no rehearsal i think it went fabulous. On the right I made a harmonica holder out of rubber bands and a wire coat hanger, an inventive 'bodgering' idea given from Jim Catton, a traveling handiman.
The last gig at Molly's (Feb 26th) long and lazy set included my dear infamous singing tree orchestra(KC on guitar and Eric on Didgeredoo playing slow, beaten up version of Rolling Stones' "Simpathy for the Devil" on the left, Brett and Fabien playing blues on the right.) Cover songs were fun and easy to practice with other musician but i want to keep practicing my singing/songwriting skill. This tour must go on.
Whenever i visit new town i started randomly asking at some bar/restaurants if i can play. very difficult back in New York. so far i played one night in Bangkok, one in SiSaket, 6 shows in Siem Reap, 2 different venue in Koh Chang and this place i'm staying in Koh Samui said i can play this week as well. Hooray for the Highway 6 Rebuilt Tour!!
