Sam Rua

red hot

Thursdays I often fall behind on pbase, spending those evenings playing with Black Currant, a red hot blues band...this is a group that has successfully stayed below the radar for several decades, deciding for basement obscurity rather than wealth and fame...well, at least we like to think so..

Sam Rua was in town this night, but declined a photo shoot as he says he doesn't do celebrity pix...however, after the bribe of a tasty bottle of beer, Sam was given exclusive, unfettered access, on condition that he not reveal the session's secret location, and not refer to band members as 'delusional geriatrics'

Basement blues - loads of good memories here with your underground band.

Great picture, Sam and it is enlightening to know you have this secret musical life, David.

Well captured shot. V

In monochrome is so fine looking. A pretty famous group in my opinion! ~V~

This looks like fun. You have a good set up there, even if the ceiling seems rather low!
Tom LeRoy24-Jul-2013 13:37
Sam: you got to release that video too, 5 million hits for sure! Cool shot of THE band. V

Looks like a fun jam session and it's about time you guys play in a bigger room with a higher ceiling :) V

bootleg video sounds dangerous Sam, but could net a profit once the first million seller is behind us..oh dear, will need another original song in that case..'It's All a Mess' might work...or perhaps 'Conundrum Blues'...I'll have to check the wind, and the aperture..

The secret jam; cool to be red hot.

Superb capture of all these very renown musicians playing in this secret location, David. Thanks as well for the fine descriptive caption.

I do have some bootleg video that I am keeping in a safe deposit box at a Swiss bank, ready for release once they have their first platinum album.

Great text to go with this fun image. I would love to what the session sounded like!
Carol How24-Jul-2013 00:37
A great image of some very talented recording artists... yes sound would have been wonderful! Good work Sam... but I get dibs on the CD cover :)
Stephanie23-Jul-2013 22:31
Rock on!!! I wish that we could see a video of the band at work! :)
Karen Stuebing23-Jul-2013 21:18
Use it or lose it. Love this in monotone and I bet the music is rocking. V.
marie-jose wolff23-Jul-2013 20:43
it seems that you have multiple skills and talents, you and your friends,
pity that there is no sound, but I can feel the nice mood! V
John Lamb23-Jul-2013 20:35
Did Sam get an 'access all areas pass' as a keepsake?
John Hamers23-Jul-2013 20:28
Beautiful performance shot !!V
Johnny JAG23-Jul-2013 19:29
Great shot, well done Sam.
Walter Otto Koenig23-Jul-2013 19:24
Great to see you in action with Black Currant David. Too bad there is no sound. Perhaps you should release at least one record so that you can use proceeds to buy a venue with a higher ceiling. :)

:-)) Can fame now be far behind? Superb shot!! V
Helen Betts23-Jul-2013 18:49
That's funny; I'm away from Pbase on Thursday nights because I have to work late. Your evening sounds much more fun than mine! Super capture by Sam and commentary by you.
Sam Rua23-Jul-2013 18:15
Lol. Musical talent abounds within this group. I would like dibs on some album photos, should the group decide to move up and out of the basement. ;^) My only regret from this evening was the 10 pm curfew.

So cool!!!
Neil Marcus23-Jul-2013 16:50
This is a good shot. A difficult to get right."V"

Seems a good deal with Sam.V.

LOL, this is a great shot by Sam. Red hot indeed.
