maidu Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 for jam session and possible low-key performances - at Boomerang Park stage and perhaps other places near Chiang Rai. Have drummer who is interested. Open to bassist and/or guitarist or keyboards and/or vocalist. Prefer music styles from US/UK 1950's and 60's, but somewhat flexible. Have some equipment.

maidu Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 163 views and no comments. Anyone out there like R&B and oldies music? Maybe you can hire our non-existent band to play at some special event. You can pay with monopoly money and a 'wee of gluay' (bunch of bananas). Speaking of bananas, I saw two hill tribe women today, walking in Tachilek who had bananas on their heads. Each woman had a group of about 9 bananas curved over the tops of their heads. Wished I had a camera on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistephenso Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'm afraid I wouldn't be much help for your 'jamming' sessions, but you may want to take note about the problems people had in Chiang Mai last year: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/454199-musicians-arrested/ Not saying you would have the same issues, but it might be something to be aware of? Especially if you have a disgruntled wannabe Thai musician who sees you playing....? Good luck anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidu Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks mistephenso. I read the thread. I think even in N.Korea and Iran, they would allow a few foreigners to strum guitars and sing in a bar without criminalizing them. Ok, maybe not those two countries, but in most. Led Zeppelin's Page and Plant did an informal solo gig for a few days in a club in India (before LZ was famous). They didn't get busted. A number of years ago, I gigged solo in Mexico (playing guitar in two clubs, for some payment). A few weeks later, authorities told me to wrap it up, as I was an illegal alien. Then I had to subsist on corn tortillas and bananas for 3 weeks, as my money dried up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it the bananas curved over the top of your head? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
