Earl Pickens and The Black Mountain Marauders @ Rodeo Bar, NYC (6/15/02)

Joe Horseman should like this post. Drummers usually get the shaft when it comes to videos because they're hidden in the back of the stage behind drums and cymbals. This time I set up a 2nd camera on a tripod facing Horseman. Downside… every time he hits his drum hard it shakes the camera causing it to blur. Take what you can get Horseman.

This night was also the Earl Pickens and The Black Mountain Marauders Live At The Houston Astrodome CD Release Party! So, of course, Jelvis was in the house. The boys also asked me to design a flyer for the show. I couldn't pick my favorite, so I gave them three.



"Jelvis Jam" & "Tell Your Mama Not To Worry"


"I'm On Fire"


"Midnight, High Noon" (with special guest Jelvis on guitar)


"Mucho Grande"


2nd set : Jelvis' Haiku & "She Just Wants To Be Wanted"


"If That's My Wife"


Here's the soundboard mix…
