    Moving from Seattle to New Orleans

    I'm a bassist in New Orleans, here for college. I also used to live in seattle a few years back. one day I'll move back. I've only been playing with people on campus since being here, so no advice on getting out there and sitting in with people. great place if you love jazz and brass bands.

    Guitar player switching, and you know what? . . .
