Hey MarkO

“Wow...is that a Photo of J Edgar Hoover in MEN's Clothing...(LOL)”

“Hey Marko!! I'm going to be in your neighborhood tomorrow night! I have surgery Tues am at GBMC for a thyroid tumor (growing very fast, :( ) and am staying in the Sheraton near the hospital tomorrow night. If you feel like jammin' come on over! a bunch of kids with their guitars from my youth group are going to keep me company and have a pizza party. Jackstraw said youlive near there”

“marko and harry, what is you ETA for Thusday? we get home by 6:00 pm”

“Hi Mapes! cant wait to see you guys Woohoo! I'll be at Marko on Thursday 430p so that should put us at your place between 730p and 9p. I'll give you a ring when we're on the road.”

“Sorry I missed this, Sunny.

Mapleleap, probably not before 9:00 PM.”

“Hello

Maybe before nine.....”

“sounds good, do I need to feed you two bums or just have plenty of booze”

“You should make MarkO and Harry do the cookin! Then you'd be eatin good!”

“Maple, don't worry about feeding us.

You're spot on with the booze issue.”

“then you better get here early. my bed time is 8:30 pm. I may fall asleep on you”

“Booze is carbohydrates. Mountain men need carbohydrates.”

“are you here yet?”

“I am trying to avoid degrading Liam's thread too much.

Start with this.

“I am taking a pressure cooker and attaching the copper line to the pressure vent (take out vent, install copper line with fitting).

Because the pressure cooker will be succeptable to burping (mash foams and gets pushed up the tube), I am going to run it over to a slobber jar, then take the line out to a thumper barrel (both slobber jar and thumper jar will probably be pickle jars unless I can come up with something else soon), then take the coil out through a cooler full of ice and to the jar.

I am going to run the line out of the pressure cooker vertical one foot, 45 degree angle one foot to induce reflux. Between that and running it though the thumper keg loaded with the next run of mash, I think I can get by double distillation.

I will put a thermometer on the coil just before it goes into the ice bath to measure steam temp., that looks to be the best way to determine when the "tailings" might start. I will take the tailings and add the to the mash from the thumper keg and cook the next run.

“Oh, and I am taking stone ground corn meal (as course as I can find, mixing it with granulated malt and yeast to get the mash).

I will let that work up in a bucket until it quits working.”

“Thanks!”

“Yum - Moonshine!!”

“Hey MarkO, didn't you go to a Back Door Slam show a few weeks ago?

I've got tickets to see them in Denver in a few weeks and wondered what you thought of them.”

“Hi MarkO!”

“Yes he did but he was very disappointed to find out it was actually just a band playing and there was no back door slamming at all. LOL!”

“I just got the ball rolling for Masten, Woohoo!!”

Back Door Slam version of Robert Cray's song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0xY--xCZFQ

Hey Mike, I stayed home due to extreme knee pain.
Back Door Slam played at Artscape Festival in Baltimore last month.
Davey Knowles has some awesome chops and sings like an old soul for a 21 year old dude.

“Back Door Slam?

now if one of us girls posted this, you horn dogs would have been all over it!”

“they're a great band with an unfortunate name...they were here a couple days ago but they were with a crap ton of other bands i didn't want to see and they didn't play by themselves anywhere else”

“In Cray's song I believe "back door slam" is something like a "back door man".

The "back door man" is simply a blues term to describe an unknown lover that leaves out the back door before a woman's "front door" man gets home.

Think of Jim Morrison's "I yam, your back door man.......".

The Allman Brothers' Band.....
"There ain't but one way out, and lawd I just can't go out that do'. 'Cause there's a man down there, might be yo' man, I don't know...."


Good Grief, D.O.R.K........!!!!!”

“come on marko, aren't they australian?...you're missing the best australian back door reference...ACDC, "for a fee, i'm happy to be, your back door man"

oops, they're british...i knew it was someplace they talked funny

“Those boys are from The Isle Of Man, located between Dublin and Liverpool.

Davey just turned 21 and they look like high school boys.

His guitar tone and rock and blues style reminds me of Rory Gallagher.......and the boy's chops are truely awesome.”

“it's funny to hear the blues coming out of a face like that”

“um I rememebr ACDC singing about being your back door man and it had nothing to do with leaving via the back door!


your a dirty boy marko!”

“Dang it D.O.R.K., what I gotta take you to school on The Blues, or something???

All you can think of is some dude workin' in the sewer when you hear anything about the back door.

This is Blues 101, lady.
Maybe you should take notes.”

“dang, first surge, and now marko...what is this, be an @ss to mapes day? ;)”
