+1 to Al Berry Have totally been there. When I was tired of being the bass guy, I just started listening to music to see what I liked. I wound up not playing bass for quite a while. I heard some David Grissom and thought holy crap, that is cool. I moved on to Mandolin, then fiddle, then guitar...

Well, got through the rehearsal with out blowing up. To keep a smile on my face, I turned about a third of his songs into disco. That was fun, since the music is heavy power pop. I know, I know,... we are not supposed to abuse our power as the bassist (I just couldn't help it). Good to know I...

Yeah, I don't know how I'm going to get through tonight's rehearsal with out spouting off or ranting. I'm just going to tryand keep it professional till after the gig tomorrow night when I will resign (politely). Actually, I kind of like playing covers. My philosophy is that; if you didn't...

+1 for keeping it fun. I'm not paying for any portion of the recording. And I have no idea where the singer is getting his money to pay for it.....I know he sold some gear to pull some of the money together and it is a HUGE investment for him.....It is just really sad that his inability to...

I come from a fairly musical family. Surrounded by music constantly. When I was 5, I wanted a violin. Never got it..When I was 10, I wanted a cello, Dad said "No Way". I think they were afraid of the screeching bow. When I was 13, I was sitting in math class as a freshman in high school. I don't...

I had a manager tell me that....and then explain it to me. She didn't want to go around busting her ass to build a name for us, as well as build up our individual names only to have us use that reputation to build up another band that she wouldn't get a cut out of. As in "come see our band...

OK. Long time lurker, first time posting. So I'm in this band. I like the music.....well most of it....we are fairly successful as in "getting some local air play" but not a huge fan base. I'm pretty sure I'm going to quit after the gig this Friday. I just want to check to see if you guys think...
