D00d don't even joke like that! These people are so secretive about the songs I refer to them as "The Nuclear Secrets". The songs are so confidential I'm not even sure how we are supposed to gig them. Maybe the sets will be a two-part thing where first we play the songs for the people, and then we all pull out swords or something and kill everybody in the room. Not sure how I should dress for that.

But, srsly, when we have a site and a name and such I will put it up. They are good songs, IMO.

Trust me, me and my mediocrity aren't going anywhere. The other day I tried to walk. Fail!!! lol

Good luck! Can be humbling. But can also be worth it! Hope you have a great teacher.

The money I've spent on lessons has been some of the best money I've spent on bass things in general.

Definitely a gig that would make the news with that kind of floor-show. Not sure if that's the kind of publicity you'd be looking for - not to mention, the repeat attendees would be down. Significantly down. It would be a very effective way to cut back on groupies if those a problem, though.

If it were me dressing for that show, I'd want something non-binding and waterproof.

I am jamming with strangers for the first time tomorrow. I mostly play funk, but I'll be trying to play metal. I'm going to go out on a limb here and induct myself into this most esteemed club right now. I feel like I'm going on a blind date and I don't know how to kiss.
