So Excited

Well Ive had quite the interesting last couple months in regards to playing with bands and such. Ive gotten the run-around by 3 different bands and was about ready to just give up and concentrate strictly on school.

I recieved a message from a local country-rock band and they wanted me to come out and play with them. Im not your typical country fan but i couldnt say no so I learn't the songs, packed up my p-bass and headed to go see what it was all about.

I NAILED everything. Tabbed out the songs perfectly (learnt them by ear and wrote it all down), and somehow played the best i had in quite awhile. Either way, I got a call saying they want me to join up and make it a perminate thing.

Im super excited. We're jamming later on this week and will begin to put the plans in motion for a show in early november.

Good job, son! Now go buy some comfortable boots, and git on down!

Hey my country band just broke up do you need a western shirt, a hubcap belt buckle, a slope front hat, and some python boots? I'm playin 80's now. Anyone got a wig? I need more hair. ( I thought classic rock was 70's) Anyway country was lots of fun and we really got a lot of gigs. Like lazylion said "git down on it" and have fun with it.
