... the circle dancing during BBS. He was almost skipping in a circle around the stage playing the hell out his acoustic with the broken string. Last was the new Triple Jet. Someone had mentioned to be a little while ago about Jack getting a new guitar and he was using it last night. It looks just like the copper Triple only it's made out of African bloodwood. It's another Randy Parsons guitar who built the other Triple Jets for Jack. Information on it here: http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/I ... spx?Page=2

That circle dance is stuck in my head, especially now that I've found video of it-- http://youtu.be/2B1F3ReejwA

I wondered if Jack's second electric was the Red Vampire, thanks for confirming that. I missed seeing the Green Machine, but the Copper-Top is so beautiful. One of my favorites of his guitars.

Well ok here we go. I ended up getting a backstage pass for the fest yesterday. I mostly talked to Brendan, Lil Jack, and some of the Black Belles girls most of the day but I did speak some words to Karen, Jack, and Lalo as well. Jack was in a little "hey yeah cool whatever cya" mood so I backed off but it was nice all the same.

Ben Swank was a real nice and funny guy too and we hung out during the Romantics set (my friend Brad Elvis is the drummer for the Romantics, hence how I got the pass). All of the above people sat and watched the entire Black Milk set as well as Black Belles, and some of JEFF the Brotherhood. It got to the point where I would run into Brendan and Jack TOO much back stage so it got a little embarrassing, but me and Brendan laughed it off. Jack just haunted past every time with Lalo very close by. The drummer from the Black Belles and I had a little conversation about Vintage Drums, a love for both of us, that was real cool! Very laid back festival and not that many people there at all but the weather made up for it. I got to stand in the pit in front of the barrier for most of the Raconteurs set and it was so nice to see Jack's family so up close, and all wives of each band member. Anyways, here are some pictures I scrambled to take.

oh! I also got to meet Jim McCarty (Cactus, Detroit Wheels, The Rockets), Mitch Ryder, Jeff Daniels (ha), and a bunch of other guys as well. Brad really hooked me up this time and his playing with the Romantics is quiet the site to see. Me and Swank had our jaws to the floor.

Sweet photos! Did you ask Jeff Daniels what the most annoying sound in the world is?

Whitestripesman · Post by **Whitestripesman** » Mon Sep 19, 2011 5:56 pm

HA no but I did do this. This man walked up to him and asked him what his name was. Jeff replied, "I'm fucking Jeff Bridges......." and walked away. He was not trying to be funny and it was kind of a weird moment. After that I just said out loud, "Radio, who needs the radio?"

I'm mostly a LQTM kind of guy, but that made me LOL.
