Also do my version of “It Never Rains In Southern California” with bass taking the intro, solo and outro “lead” as it were. When I came up with it years ago I hadn’t heard the song in a long time, so just came up with something from what I recalled and ran with it. Turns out when I listened to...

Tennessee Whiskey, which every band around here (East TX) does a version of, but we’re a four piece and I two hand tap through the whole thing to add more to it. Different anyway. It’s certainly gotten the attention of some musicians in the audience who come up at break to comment they’ve never...

Drummer to my left after many years of them to my right and really screwing my right ear up with loud snares and such. Plus, if I’m standing with drummer to my right and I need to turn right then I have to clear the mic and mic stand, not a problem when I turn back to my left and I can look at...

Mountain, yes! First time I heard more than “Mississippi Queen” (which I loved and had only heard it on the radio up to that point) was around 1987 when my brother and I went to a guy’s house and he played Mountain Climbing! on (original release) vinyl through a pair of enormous vintage Klipsch...

I’ve not read every entry, so perhaps they’ve been mentioned, but I’m just going to go ahead and put out there King’s X. Yup, not everyone likes them or they would’ve been huge. But, amongst the TB community I’d hope they’d receive at least a decent reception. You don’t have to like everything...

Thanks for the review of the venue. I’m actually just up the road in Lufkin and we’ve been thinking about getting into their booking rotation there. Wish I’d known a member here was going to be playing down there, but I had out of state family in, couldn’t have made it. What size of crowd did...

I haven't read through the whole listing yet, but I feel certain someone has already put King's X in the mix, but I'll put them in again. And again. And again. I've had the fortune to see them live twice at Scout Bar in Houston (once in 2012 and again Jan 2018, that's almost a 3 hour one way...

Oops, seems I scrolled past the pics, I see that it is indeed red.

Have been looking at getting a Schroeder cab, wondering why you are selling the 12 PL? Was it lacking something sound wise? Is it also red like the smaller cab?

Any updates on this cab? Not much info out there, but I'm very intrigued about having this lightweight cab for hauling around to practice and small gig situations (bad lower back). I played through a Trace Elliot 2x8 the other day using a Peavey Minimega head (that's the best head they had and...

My first post on TB. Just throwing in my 2 cents to say most everything I've read here is correct, do not resort to substances to make you think you're doing a better job at the gig. I rarely ever drink anything at a gig, for several reasons, one being I'm just not much of a drinker, but the...
