Great set Pam! How did the guitar sound?
Andre. said at 10:14 a.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
Y e a h ! A special delivery. I'd like to hear the sound too but regardless of any : great work Pam and Scott. Cheers !
Leftofcenter said at 10:15 a.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
Totally dope set! I never saw all the pics, introduced like this, it's watching a movie in slow motion, it must have been a moving moment for Scott- for Booker and for you! #1 is my favorite, you have everyone there, Scott, Booker and the photographer!! (those r the pics of yours that inspire me!) beautiful day, sunny skies, raw blues & rock and roll, life's good sometimes. fave.
Leftofcenter said at 10:15 a.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
and the perfect TGIF!
Pkeener said at 10:22 a.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
Hi Eric. The guitar sounds amazing. Due to the hollow chambers inside the solid body and some other technical stuff that I will have to ask Scott about. My regret is that we didn't get any video footage at the concert. I hope to find some footage to post when i make the concert tabblo.

Cheers, Andre!
Leftie, it was truly an experience to cherish. Watching it all come together from wood to concert stage. The weather was like it was ordered for the concert weekend. I was so happy to get that first photo! The reflection in the sunglasses shot!

David, it was a perfect match.

Booker on Organ, Natch!
Lifequest22 said at 11:47 a.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
OH, OH--that opening shot of yours and Scott's reflection in Booker's shades is Killer. And then it just gets better scrolling down for the guitar presentation...Booker looking somewhat perplexed until it sinks in that the guitar is a gift for HIM...You caught every nuance of the event.And then to see Booker playing that gorgeous guitar is too perfect...the guitar looks Wasaaabii in Booker's hands. Must have been amazing to hear him play it and a special moment for Scott and You....
NeusinhaGedoz said at 11:49 a.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
Very, very, very, very cool, Pam. Loved !!!!!!!!!
AdSR said at 12:29 p.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
I like that whole sequence when he's first serious, then "What the....?", and finally "Oh, yeah, man!" :)
Pkeener said at 12:34 p.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
Arthur, i am so glad you see that, because it is exactly what happened!
Neusinha, ;)
Flinkfar said at 12:40 p.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
great tabblo - great story - beautiful guitar.
Bravemoonbearer said at 12:50 p.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
How exciting this must have been for both you and Scott and Booker T.My favorite is the first photo and the reflections you captured in the sunglasses.Looking forward to concert tabblo.Super Tabblo,Pam.
Wildthing said at 12:58 p.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
An amazing follow-up set, Pam. From raw materials to Booker accepting and then bringing to life a superbly hand-crafted instrument. A neat docu-tab. Nice parting shot of you and the 'Man'.
Chilla said at 12:59 p.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
Pam it was amazing how Booker's face changed as he played the guitar, he listened and then the smile was electrifying!! I love the picture of you with Booker at the end too. Super story and Tabblo Pam!
Merja-zerga said at 1:01 p.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
Fabuleux!!! un concert que nous aurions aimé voir!
Merci Pam.

Jesusgoz said at 1:26 p.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
Muy bien hecho.
DocEna said at 2:33 p.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
It looks like they are having fun and entertaining everyone..cool
Pattymaryclare said at 7:06 p.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
LUV LUV LUV IT!! The 'Man' was obviously very impressed and that SMILE!!!...That axe sure looked GOOD in his hands on stage ...THO I'D LIKE to know which he chose as the 'inaugural' tune for his new 'Baxendale' Beauty?! for the S.F musical 'happening'! God, I love these kinds of music festivals...awaiting the next tab too! fabulous work BOTH OF YOU! xo Patty
Pkeener said at 7:36 p.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
Patty, thank you. He did the last song of the set (explained in first Tabblo) Sitting on the Dock of a Bay. So special as we were in San Francisco.
Enaldo, thank you so much
Jesus, Gracias. ;)
Jeff, I know. wish you were there. drool fest hope to post the Truckers on stage soon.
as Thierry and Karine said to die for
Celia, it's true! I had a lot more shots, but didnt want to make this the endless tabblo. Booker has an amazingly expressive face
Mike, it was such a treat to be involved with this whole process.
Sandy We were both so excited as the reality of the whole thing began to take hold
Bertil, you know it. So cool
Fabio_DL said at 8:58 p.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
Wow, Pam! Excellent sequence with the delivery of the guitar to Booker. You are looking great as well! Thank you!
Welshchick said at 9:17 p.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
This is the coolest!!! Of course I love the last photo the most~
Leftofcenter said at 10:25 p.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
Yeah great video sis! So it goes like so:
1:42 first glimpse of PK crossing the stage.
2:41 more of PK behind Booker (she's taking pics)
3:35 very good view of PK next to the big amp
and more at 4:13
and Scott at 4:29
and both of them at the end of video. wasabiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!
Noe said at 11:23 p.m. on Nov 6, 2009:
Very cool Pam!! Great serie... wish I could listen that music ;O)
Abking said at 12:13 a.m. on Nov 7, 2009:
No video needed-you beautifully capture the mood flow! Like I said earlier (#1), what a wonderful gift!
Abking said at 12:14 a.m. on Nov 7, 2009:
And then to hear Booker T strum Dock of the Bay with same guitar, can't beat that!
WEIMAR said at 3:23 a.m. on Nov 7, 2009:
I like such music themes very much....it's sooo great ....emotion and photos
PhotoPop said at 9:57 a.m. on Nov 7, 2009:
I'm looking at this set and in my head I am hearing "Green Onions" of which I have the vinyl somewhere in the attic. It has to be a thrill to be next to the man who supplied some of the background music to our growing up.
Pkeener said at 11:02 a.m. on Nov 7, 2009:
Fabio, it was such a treat
Rhonda, thank you :)
Noe, I think we have found someone that recorded it, and i will keep you posted on that
Hi Allan! It doesn't get any better..hearing Booker sing that in San Francisco under a cloudless sky...
Heidi, thank you for following my tabblos.

John..see above comments, i posted a rather shaky youtube, but the sound is good. I have that same album you mentioned. Booker's latest album called Potato Hole has the Drive-by Truckers collaborating and it is just fantastic. They do Green Onions and it really rocks...
Leftofcenter said at 11:47 a.m. on Nov 7, 2009:
"capturing the mood flow" YEAH! Allan is back.
Ira said at 1:05 p.m. on Nov 7, 2009:
The perfect future at this guitar:) Remarkable creativity and people
Debdog said at 3:10 p.m. on Nov 7, 2009:
his smile alone says it all!!!!!!! great series Pam!:)
Pkeener said at 5:44 p.m. on Nov 7, 2009:
Deb, thank you so much. Bookeer's smile is so warm and contagious

Ira, The perfect future is a perfect analysis

Leftie, Yeah!
Krisu said at 5:50 a.m. on Nov 8, 2009:
What a feeling in these shots, nice work, Pam!
Gerardfotografeert said at 5:52 p.m. on Nov 9, 2009:
Great Following on an earlier tabblo, well done Pam. After seeing this tabblo I searched my old record collection into a plate of Booker T to hear his music again.
Pkeener said at 10:40 a.m. on Nov 10, 2009:
Kris, the emotions came right through my lens!
Gerard, Booker T's music is among my favorites. I love to hear him and the MG's and now with the Truckers as well.
WEIMAR said at 2:48 p.m. on Nov 12, 2009:
Booker T has birthday today....Happy Birthday !!!!
Karsten said at 11:58 p.m. on Nov 15, 2009:
suberb emocional set Pam...i can almost feel the change of mood of booker....sceptic to entusiasm....just exceptional!
Eduardo.affonso said at 10:05 a.m. on Nov 17, 2009:
For some unknown reason I missed this one. Let me use here an expression I learnt from you: "good footage"!
Pkeener said at 10:17 a.m. on Nov 18, 2009:
Yes, Heidi! Thank you for knowing
Karsten, very emotional. His face is so expressive, too.
Eduardo, thank you for that expression. You have a great memory.
