One of his multiple jobs (and talents) is as the major tour coordinator and main sound mixer for a drumming legend. So it came that today I belong to a few selected that had the honor to have sat behind the huge drum set of Billy Cobham!&#160; Ain\u0092t that cool!:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.winckler.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/billycobham-4s.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"BillyCobham-4s\" border=\"0\" alt=\"BillyCobham-4s\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.winckler.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/billycobham-4s-thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"184\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.winckler.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/billycobham-5s.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"BillyCobham-5s\" border=\"0\" alt=\"BillyCobham-5s\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.winckler.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/billycobham-5s-thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"184\" \/><\/a>&#160; <\/p>\n<p>Short after this concert we had another gig with our band. Again unplugged, something I\u0092m enjoying more and more. A private party with some 80 \u0096 90 people who loved our sets and danced and sung with us. Ok, I must admit that the influence of good Bavarian beer contributed massively to the success of this gig. <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none\" class=\"wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile\" alt=\"Smile\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.winckler.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/wlemoticon-smile.png\" \/>&#160;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">&#160;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.winckler.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/accousticsetup-1s.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"AccousticSetUp-1s\" border=\"0\" alt=\"AccousticSetUp-1s\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.winckler.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/accousticsetup-1s-thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"184\" \/><\/a>     <br \/>My acoustic setup<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">It is probably the very mild weather of this particular month of October that put me in the mood of making fresh salsas. Jalape\u00f1o, Jalape\u00f1o\/Mango and a hot Habanero salsa was the result. The details of my salsas (as well as the recipe of my Margaritas) will not be disclosed here, just to increase the hype <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none\" class=\"wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-winkingsmile\" alt=\"Winking smile\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.winckler.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/wlemoticon-winkingsmile.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.winckler.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/salsa-1s.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"Salsa-1s\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Salsa-1s\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.winckler.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/salsa-1s-thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"184\" \/><\/a>Fresh ingredients are key <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Billy Cobham again! A few weeks after the concert of the star drummer I received a call from Frenzy asking if I would mind picking up him, Billy and the top UK bassist Michael Mondesir from the train station. They finished a 2 week tour in southern Europe and would arrive from Nizza. I didn\u0092t think twice. As a small \u0091thank you\u0092 I was invited to join them for a curry that same night. It was awesome talking to Mr Cobham about his days with Miles Davis, George Benson, John McLaughlin and the Mahavisnu Orchester (which he co-founded), Carlos Santana, Stanley Clark and so many more. What blast!<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.winckler.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/cobhamcurry-1s.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"CobhamCurry-1s\" border=\"0\" alt=\"CobhamCurry-1s\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.winckler.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/cobhamcurry-1s-thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"184\" \/><\/a>&#160; <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Chilicrab, Eva\u0092s jewelry design line, had a public exposition in a local cozy coffee shop. It was great to meet so many friends we hadn\u0092t seen for years. Everybody was impressed about the amazing creations. A full success that the coffee shop owner wants to repeat it in November. Cool! Way to go!<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I missed Halloween this year totally. It was really turbulent towards the end of the month. I signed the contract for a new job starting Nov. 1st. and there where so many things to take care of and preparations to be done that I simply didn\u0092t finish this blog entry. Apologies for that.
