Yeah, I need to figure out where the non-emergency clinic is. Hopefully it'll be 100% in a month, it's hard to play like this.
I am glad you got to enjoy our almost spring like weather.
Cool
Crisp
Light jacket
No Sweat
No Humidity
(Cold Rain and Cloudy Skies ... I have to find the soundtrack)
You Ain't Playing Hard Enough If You Aren't Bleeding...
Been there.
Blood on your bass is good.
As long as it's your bass and your blood.
Quick check in, here was my day.
My volunteer job finished, but they will lay more on me since I get stuff done. That's ok though.
I am loving the weather. Today was beautiful.
I worked my @$$ off today, I had so much to do, I got confused, but I just made a list and banged it out as best I could. Tomorrow will be like that, but it's ok.
I had a wonderful compliment from one of my volunteers on a thank you note I wrote. I like to write well, but some occasions require extra effort on writing. You don't get many sincere compliments in life.
I had a great night at the Thursday Jam, and felt like I was in the pocket, on the One, but free to do what I wanted. Works for me.
My old guitar player gave me a compliment that makes my year, if not my life:
I was in a cover band, now imploded, a year ago November and we did a Pink Breast Cancer fundraiser. No pay but I'll play for that. My friend Bobby said to me tonight that he showed up about 5 mins after we started, but he thought I was -on- and he had never heard me play better. I thought that was a very nice thing to say.
Of course, for once I wasn't playing bass for him, but he was in the audience, and all that drill on TB about tone, and pocket and support and play to the song has become second nature, I fired it all up and had a great night. I am always at my best live.
So, he got to hear what I have been giving him
(for years), from the back of the room and it blew him away.
Well, he never told me this before tonight. A lot of people tell you "Hey, you sounded great" and it's bar rhetoric, everyone sounds great at 12 midnight.
When a very skilled and accomplished player that I have supported since 1977 -sporadically- finally busted out a compliment, I have to cherish that one.
I have a secret. My day is coming soon.
I got a lot done today on many levels. Not sure I can keep up the pace.
My buddy sent me a zappos 20% off coupon, he can get then anytime to hook up to an email. I can hook CWB up on the side, but, we gotta have shoe pics upon arrival.
You know the drill.
Back sometime soon.

First of all, I think that the volunteer work you are doing is very cool. You do the right things for the right reasons from where I sit.
Getting a compliment on your playing is always nice, but getting it from someone like that makes all of the difference.
Sorry to have been absent for awhile. I have been lurking and keeping tabs on all of you, just no time to post. It's been crazy, had a post-gig band meltdown which resutled in a break-up, and a search for a new drummer. Have an amazing female drummer I'm trying to recruit - cute, graduated music school, plays guitar also, did percussion in the Columbus Philharmonic Orchestra. A little out of my league to say the least, but she's itching to rock the drums (she's playing guitar in an acoustic group now) and very sweet. I'm hoping my pout will be magical, as I'm excited about the possibility of working with her as it would def. help me grow as a musician. Also have a few other projects/ possibilities in the works, so we'll see what pans out.
Got my Clement, it looks and sounds incredible. Can't put it down. I wake up in the middle of the night and play it unplugged. Was so tired yesterday, I was playing it with my eyes closed, half-asleep and still couldn't put it down. It feels so natural, is much lighter than my MM, and (this may sound strange) smells so good. The wood smell is just intoxicating. Feels like it was made just for me. (Oh, wait, it was...)
You know that feeling when you first fall in love and you can't even remember what your life was like before? It's like that, only better.
Drummer - So sorry about your dog, we just went through that with our Boxer, it was heartbreaking. Glad to see you around so much, though, and you've been staying busy musically, which is awesome.
Thor - I love ya to death, but you can be a little cryptic sometimes. What does "I have a secret. My day is coming soon" mean?
Tat - We're going to be coming your way for family vaca early June.
FM - I miss ya. Where ya been, girl, and what have ya been up to? (Hopefully, up to no good...)
Chick with bass pics soon.

PA, the picture of you and the Clement have all sorts of "win" going. on!!!
WOW!
As for the scent... it gave me a business idea. "Clement Cologne"

Hey, if Warwick can be all about "The sound of wood", then why can't Clement be all about "The smell of wood"?
I was going to make a comment about "The feel of wood" or "The taste of wood", but I'm not sure it was worth risking Thor's Silver Hammer coming down upon my head.

The Clement Cologne ad campaign could be something like...
One wiff and all she'll think about is "wood".
Too much?

yes, sorry to hear about your drummer too ... for us fans of Sonic Cherry, this is highly traumatic. 
new drummer sounds great, though, hope that works out. And remember - no pic, no drummer.
