    Covers vs Originals

    That's true, but I'd rather continue to create new music instead of jamming to "One Way Out' or play "Mony Mony" so grandma can dance.

    What is your Criteria for not taking a Gig?

    I'll turn down any bar/restaurant gig. It's tough trying to remember any positive situation.

    Why is Pink Floyd more popular and appealing than Rush?

    "Animals" was a particular nap favorite.

    Small Jam - Assorted Egos: What I learned last night.

    There's two culprits in this case, the weekend warrior who seizes the mic when women walk in and starts playing "Wish You Were Here", or the local party band superstar who thinks who thinks nothing about demanding to hand him your guitar. "No, nobody here knows Katrina and the Waves DH"

    Best Female Singing Voice

    When I started looking into buying an eight string bass I remembered John Paul Jones played one behind Diamanda Galas. That voice still gives me goosebumps, like hearing Jaco or Stanley Clarke for the first time.

    Is Ampeg done for?

    I have a Portaflex too. Bought brand new. Two gigs later it failed to function. At least it still was under warranty to repair. The repair shop wasn't a fan of the Ampeg company. Haven't trusted it for live gigs since. Which is too bad , because my standup sounded pretty nice through it.

    soooo...now the BL wants us to wear matching t-shirts with the band logo

    I get the exposure angle, but you're a band, not a landscaping company.
