Hey Guys, Well, she was a no show at the meeting tonight. Not responding to any calls/texts/emails. We really wanted to hear her out, but I guess she didn't want to speak. Luckily, my co worker who subbed said that she would not only play the gig this friday, but she is willing to take over...

We are having a get together with her tonight to see what's going on. Since this is really the first time she's pulled this in the 18 months since we've hired her, we are willing to hear her out. Two fingers, I hear what you are saying and yes, we are a bar band, but we know that life happens...

Hey guys and gals, So here's the situation. My band had a gig last Saturday that had been on the books for a month. Last minute our vocalist all of a sudden has to work that night and doesn't let us know until 4 days before the gig. Luckily, I work with someone who can sing very well who...

It actually wouldn't hurt to take and improv class or two. I've found that a great way to connect with your audience is to pick something out in the audience and riff off of that for a couple seconds inbetween songs. It really helps to be able to think on your feet. Get creative, try to be...

The St. Louis panhandlers are relentless. I'm surprised that he actually went into your car though. He must have been desperate. At least he didn't get anything for his trouble.

Thanks for the support!

This is really some amazing stuff. I really wish could have experienced what you have. Both the good and the bad. I think you should write the book on your experiences, even just for the Talk Bass community. I think it it would be wonderful. Keep them coming.

So around this time last year, I was deployed to the Middle East (I play bass for the Air Force band). Right before I deployed, I moved into my friend's house because I was moving to Hawaii as soon as we got back and he wasn't going to charge me rent like my apartment building was. Anyway, one...

It's like coming back home, except here I don't have to do the dishes

Hey Guys, I'm not exactly a new member, but it's been a long time since I've been active on this site. So, I just figured I would reintroduce myself as I plan on making this a regular stop on my interwebs routine. My name is Brian and I currently live in Kaneohe, HI. I am the bassist for...

Add one more in Kaneohe.

I was just wondering if anybody was going to be attending Bass Player Live! this year in Hollywood. If so, what hotel would you suggest staying at? I've never been out there before so I don't have any idea. Any help would be greatly apprectiated. Keep Rockin'.:bassist:

I used to live in Sun Prairie, but sadly I had to move to St. Louis. I miss the homeland.

I know one of his 4 strings is also tuned ADGC.

Well guys, I've got some good news. My audition went very well and I will be joining the Band of Mid America this summer as their new bassist. I want to thank you Pacman for all your advice and maybe I'll see you down in Texas when I start basic training. All I have to do now is lose 30 lbs...
