All the things I love about Jack Casady's style stand out in this live version. He totally kills.

As we speak, I am trying to chart out Jack White's cover of I'm Shakin' ==> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvpoiiBW9bc , which I personally dedicate to PA for her recent photos, for the Vague Assurances. Not so easy. Like a lot of old blues tunes, there are 2/4 bars interspersed. Here is the original by Little Willie John ==> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvpoiiBW9bc | I'm tickled that you are learning this in my honor. An awesome tune!

You feeling better, Tat, or still fighting off the sickies?

Well he finally went to see the Doc and after a priority brain scan we've been informed he has a brain tumor and could be in surgery by Monday.
He's incredibly shy and I've never heard him say a bad word about anyone, just one of those nice guy's people like being around and playing some music with. The only family he has left is the guys in our band.
While we're all pulling for him and helping anyway we can, I'd appreciate if our little CWB community could say a prayer/think positive thoughts for a really nice guy by the name of Johnny Goshulak.
Thanks
Special Blender | My thoughts and prayers are with your friend, SB

To be honest, I'd like to do what you're doing and think I'd be OK at it, but it's just not there at the moment. Same is true for straight up jazz - I love playing it, but the market for it gig-wise in the Hudson Valley is very small. | Chuck, you've got some mad bass skills yourself.
And every girl loves a guy who can handle a DB.

the problem is that I am a fairly private person. I do not feel the need to check in every 10 minutes. I have no desire to tag every photo of myself or everyone I know. I am not going to twit or tweet or whatever it is, and tell everyone where I am, every moment of every day. If you really know me, you know exactly where I am, most days. I am in the shop. It is pretty simple.
I am being told that I don't "get it"... can someone explain this elusive by apparently very definitive "It" that I am supposed to be getting | I was a FB holdout myself for a long time (up until this past spring), mostly because I could care less what my friends were eating for dinner or what they bought today at Target. I finally caved to the pressure because my hubz knew more about my friends and family than I did simply because he was on FB. He remembered their birthdays more often than I did, knew about events in their lives before I did and shared funny comments they had made. I finally just felt like I was missing out on too much.
Yes, you have to wade through the inane, dramatic, boring, and incendiary - but I find it to be worth it in the end. Great way to share pics and info. with people far away. Lots of great humor there to make you smile, especially if you "friend" Tat and FM! Plus you can "ignore" people who are driving you crazy (say, with never-ending political rants) so you don't even see their posts.
Musically, it really helps me stay connected as well. My current band saw me at a Sonic Cherry gig a long time ago. When they were looking for a bass player,they asked around about my name, and found me through facebook. If it weren't for FB, they probably never would have been able to contact me. I have been using it a lot to comminicate with singers also during the search and audition process my band is currently undergoing.
It's a tool - like anything, all in how you use it.
Come and find me on FB - do a search for Charity Detrick in Ohio. And welcome to the dark side.

The Teenager did myspace when he was that age, i saw no issues at all and when he made a facebook page a few years later i saw no reason to keep tabs on him. He's 18.5 now so it's not my business what he does anyway.
I use FB to actually feel like i have friends and stay close to people, i dont really have friends IRL and i find it really hard to make friends because most people won't take the time to see past my oddness and awkwardness to see who i really am. Right now, i don't actually have any friends who live here and i can just hang out and have a beer and BS with that aren't in my band (and i don't really hang with them too much beyond band stuff).
Besides, i like FB because i can hide behind the awkwardness and just be weird. | I find that female friendships are notoriously challenging and complicated. Tat and FM from this thread have become two of my closest female friends. Honestly, if I had a problem, I wouldn't hesitate to call either one of them - I would definitely turn to one of them quicker than I would a lot of my other female "friends" who live closer. Truth is, I have very little in common with most of the soccer moms I find myself surrounded by.
In general, I think it's harder to make friends as an adult, especially for those of us that tend to be a little introverted or eccentic.
But rest assured, you are among friends here.

Now all I need is someone other than a snoring grizzly or a squirmy kid (she often finds her way in at night) to snuggle and doze out with, LOL.
It's no wonder I wake up in the middle of the night a lot...

Tat, hope you are feeling better. How's life in the voting line state?
C3, how did the acoustic gig go?
DT, happy Marine Bday. I wasn't in the service but I appreciate and respect the contribution our service members make on our behalf. Sounds like you should fire off 237 rounds. I would if the range was open
Thor, thanks for the great links. They always bring back good memories.
FM, where are you girl?
J, I share your sentiments. This a great collection of people that are genuinely wonderful. It's the only reason I come to this site anymore. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
