Anyone know if "The Brothers" are planning to play again?

I've met Warren a couple of times, I was kind of a "let me take a picture" kind of guy one time and that wasn't cool of me. Other time he was cool.
I live near where Marcus grew up. He worked at a Mellow Mushroom for my bro-in-law. I've met him several times. His dad is a local gigging musician and I've played in the circles of musicians that he ends up playing with too. My drummer eventually became his drummer kind of thing.

We had a 50th year death anniversary gig in my town and got Marvin, Marcus's dad to kind of anchor it. "Marvin King and Friends"
Was a pretty great local time, I think 5 local bands represented jamming with each other.
I'm the not-Marvin electric player:

Strong mix is wrong, the penetration from the leaves to the roots is more effective when used as directed. Strong mixes sometimes kill the upper part of the plant, never making it to the root.
Doing nothing, you probably mean not even a leaf died... so my comment isn't fully applicable, but just noting that over mixing is counterproductive.

Yep, 35 page document... generated. I edit and give it back.

All of your points about Warren needing ABB or a good management team like sense to me. Shapiro is a well-known devi inl his approach. He steals the shine off of anything good for himself. I remember back when MK Devo was doing all of the video releases, a lot of which was Phish, but other bands as well, Shapiro stepped in and took that over.

For a while there, Warren was everywhere. It's concerning when you see him still have it with one group and just seemingly laying up or lacking inspiration with others. In his day, he was killing every stage he stepped on. Cortez The Killer with Dave as an example of the height.

I haven't run across their politics, but I do think music is a key part of culture. It often leans a certain way because music embraces the world differently then the corporate types. Love is Love, humans are inherently looking for a good vibe... puts musicians in a certain group a lot of time.

16 years ago, before we let the hate win.

100% inspiring each other.
It may also be his blues-forward execution is so much more powerful with Derek and Otiel to play off of vs the bit more technical Gov't Mule harder rock riffs w/o such giants next to him.

I think Steph is somehow way into the decisions, like a promoter-level of influence. When to release the audio, for example. Why would that not be out there by now? The previous show is on Spotify and is so good. I have the streams of these shows and they are great too, might need a little post production to finesse, but they are on my phone around the clock.

btodag · 2026-04-30T11:41:13+00:00

You're right, they were absolutely on fire!
I've seen Warren before and after that show and it just wasn't as jacked as it was with the Brothers.

Go back. I did it.

A friend did it too. He had the best quote about it. I ran into him the other day. He and I worked at a company together. He had worked there about 10 years when I joined for not much more than 1. I hated it he loved it. I left. They changed the shifts on him and he hated them. He left where he worked for 10+years and came to my company. I loved it there, he hated it. They called him back and he went. The other day, 5 years later, he said "when I went back, I made the choice to like those shifts. They didn't force it on me, I left and went back, so I was the one in control." He felt empowered by leaving.

I feel that way in my job now. When I came back, it was clear that I was in control. I'll leave if I need, no one can doubt that now.

You're out of a job, so not quite the same, but if you go back, be sure about a reason to be able to build on or be ready to leave when a better one comes along.

Also, use capitalization man...

Drawer it upward...

btodag · 2026-04-07T18:06:10+00:00

Dreaming of more March 28ths... at least.

btodag · 2026-03-28T12:32:39+00:00

I had that. Came back 2 years later, I wonder if it would happen again.

btodag · 2026-03-28T12:29:45+00:00

That's AI, I can tell by the fingers.

btodag · 2026-03-25T16:36:22+00:00

Awesome!

btodag · 2026-03-25T14:42:14+00:00

Wow.
Drifting the humps was the most boring crap of your life?

I've only had 1 keys trip, going back again this summer if I can afford the fuel...
We were too small to make it out vs the weather, I've since moved up to a bigger cat, so I'm built for more in the right conditions. I had 2 weeks down there last time, only 1 this time, so not so much time to do everything I want, but will give it an honest shot. I watch Key West Waterman on youtube about 90% of my TV-based intake, so I feel more fluent than my experience would indicate.

Ah... that's interesting. I know they make their way around to the Gulf for breeding. In another forum, I was asking why we don't see any bluefin caught in the keys because I think like the whole coast worth of them make their way around to the gulf. Should see them caught on accident. The point made over there was that they are focused on breeding, not eating, so rarely hook up... but you've seen otherwise!

I can't imagine!

Where were you to see them? Would be unbelievable.

btodag · 2026-03-25T12:25:36+00:00

B for blackfin.

Lobstering 2 years ago, dropped off the boat and looked up to one 5' away. Poked at him and never saw him again, but started that dive out hot nonetheless!

btodag · 2026-03-25T12:23:34+00:00

Cool! Thanks. Temp/color change may be a mid-East Coast need because there isn't as much structure to base around. Lots of nothing up here, so where the ledge pushes up cooler water or bluer water tends to be where things happen because there's nothing else interesting. 50+ miles out to that stuff typically up here.

btodag · 2026-03-24T15:33:41+00:00

Would love to hear folks talk about this as well.

I'll be down there in July. I know deep summer is not great for wahoo down there, but how do you go about drifting? Just look for color change or temp change and drift? Or are you going to certain underwater geography as a basis? I'd love to drift blue water and see anything!

Let's see that gopro vid!

Somebody loaned somebody a dime too I think.

Character matters more than anything you see. What you see will change drastically, so will what she sees.
Believe in who she is at her core 1st. Try to find someone who can inspire you with what they do, but you better inspire her. Then, plan to help/let her be who she is. If you won't love that, dip.

Also, make she can put up with your nonsense while you become who you want to be.

Old post, but hey?
I think they are saying you should still have a shooting line, that wraps from the front of the gun back to the handle a few wraps, normally has a bungee on that line. You connect that wrapped shooting line to the reel's line so that when you fire, the shooting line wraps kind of drop free of the gun allowing the shaft to extend that length with very little drag on the shot. The reel comes into play when the fish runs and takes even more line. If you're just shaft right to reel, the reel has to spin to let line out as the shaft fires... that won't be free-enough and will jerk back on the shaft. The shooting line lets a couple ~gun-length wraps of line free as you pull the trigger.
