Meetings with remarkable people

In the evening, I arranged for the band and their support team to hang out and have dinner at ll the wyMike's Place Pub, a popular local pub located on the beachfront that is a strong supporter of live music and especially Blues. After having a nice full meal and some beer, the band decided to treat us to a quick short set of their music, which we also managed to broadcast live over the internet! The Gov't Mule show took place in Tel Aviv on Friday night, June 10, 2010, to a crowd of at least 650 fans, including a few dedicated fans who flew in afrom England just for the show!!! al promoter to bring Gov't Mule to Israel. They arrived on June 8, 2010, rested one night, and the next day I arranged for Warren Haynes to be interviewed at Radio 88fm in Tel Aviv. I brought along my 1931 National resonator (metal body) guitar, in the hope that Warren might play something live on the radio, which he did!

The success of bringing Gov't Mule to Israel was part of a more grandiose dream I had since 2005 of bringing The Allman Brothers Band to Israel. Unfortunately, by the time 2010 came around, the ABB were getting ready to retire (they disbanded in 2014), and didn't want to travel outside the continental USA...
