Thank you dear . We recorded 7 more tunes yesterday. My fingers were not happy but after a while I think it helped them to loosen up.
Promise to take better care of them.

Woot woot Turkey is almost done!!!!!!

Okay - CWB family - Another ad going up today to replace our guitars and vox. Tell me what you think.

Wanted: Guitar player(s)

Our expectations of you:

• Can play your instrument without being an egomaniacal showboat
• Good attitude
• Lead and/or backing vocals
• Play well with others in the sandbox
• Do not run with scissors

• Have a sense of humor, but know when not to make a joke
• Mature attitude preferred

You can expect from us:

• Hard working
• Good attitudes
• Willing to try new things
• Open to song collaboration
• Regular (weekly) structured rehearsals

We are a drummer and bassist in the Clermont area seeking guitarist(s) and vocals for cover band. Open to power trio or two-guitar sound, depending on the personalities and the players. Gender and age are far less important than talent and good attitude. Classic/Southern rock sound – 60’s through today. We have rehearsal space and PA. Check out our links from a recent open mic night.

Oh. Yeah. On the whole looking in a mirror thing – we’d be cool if you wanted to wear spandex, but we probably won’t share in that wardrobe choice. I could probably loan you a pair of tube socks if you needed them to stuff, though. ;-)

Wish I played guitar just so I could answer the advertisement
You've got the right bait, you just need a good fish now. Well done

Are you gonna wear spandex?

[chuck3]

hey all - tried my best to find a good pic of turkey with bass. I was unsuccessful, but I saw many interesting pics trying.

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Thanks for being the group that we are, even though I haven't met all of you (yet).

[BassGen]

Must be Thanksgiving! Our singer sent out an email and wants to jam tomorrow night! Looks like it might actually happen!

[JimB52]

Sounds like a good ad, T2H. Hopefully will weed out some of the wrongos.

Got one hit - serious sounding guy who sent demo tracks and an apology with his first email. He's good - vocally and with the strings - but he lives too far away to make it work. I'm sad now.

But this is a huge step toward cheering me up. MB in spandex. This could be epic.

Damn, now i want the pics!!! (sorta)

We're still trying to figure out practice for next week, it's hard when people are busy with family.

The good news is my Army friend is in town for the holidays and i get to take him out dancing Sat night and prove some of those myths about redheads.

No better way to paint the town red!

Tile today - I've spent the first 1/2 of my day prepping the floor and waiting for it to dry - getting ready to start laying out the tile in about 15 minutes. I'm actually kind of scared. I hope it doesn't suck.

good luck with the tile, Tat.

just got the call to play upright for three hours next Saturday night - jazz standards, no practice, just bring your Realbook and go. hey - it's a paying gig, I'll take it. Plus there's been kind of a dearth of opportunities jazz-wise lately.

the night before that is our dance gig at Vassar - I'm really looking forward to this and hope we do indeed get people dancing. We're doing all our uptempo stuff for this one.

and then it looks like I'm getting called for next Sunday as well, although that's sort of a mini-gig where I sit in with a jazz guitarist friend who plays a restaurant once a month.

So, it looks like gigs Friday, Saturday and Sunday next weekend ... I am pumped, don't think I've ever done that before.

That sounds like a lot of fun!

I'd answer that ad for sure...

other than the fact that you already have a drummer and bassist. You will get some good responses.


We have to start the bassist search soon. We are going to wait until after the Hard Rock gig.

I've been practicing, and playing with my EQ a bit today. Noticed i also have to remember to mute the open E after i move right from it to another string (like the song i'm practicing now). I'm sure that contributes to the muddy sound i hear. Unfortunately my ears don't detect much difference when playing lightly with EQ. But I did turn the 'bass' knob down a bit, and the 'low-mid' (i think it was) up a bit. And i did get the timing down ok on a run that was driving me nuts, so except for one point in the song i can do it ok. The other point i can hear it on the recording but i guess it doesnt fit well with how i modified my part on the first portion of the song. So if I have to i can just skip it.

Then a short person insisted i come watch him play some Kirby game on the Wii. Gah! I am NOT a gamer!

[BassGen]

Nice pic drummer but don't be so hard on yourself!

My band is jamming tonight!

Tomorrow is a TB GTG for Toronto area bassists!

Finally a weekend with something to look forward to!
