I've seen and heard you play Tat, and you are not giving yourself credit. You and I started playing within weeks of each other and I'm more mediocre. :)



Speaking of mediocrity, tonight I have audition for a local blues band... as a bassist. A good friend (who was a student of mine) is the drummer. I don't know if I'm ready for this, but we shall see.

I spent the morning figuring out how to transpose the different blues progressions that I know into different keys.

I don't even have a song list, wish me luck.

Have fun, let us know how it went. :)

I will definitely keep in touch. I'll work on getting something on video. Got the Clement set up with half-rounds and ridiculously low action. Plays like a dream, unbelievable. :hyper::bassist:

Got a nice leather strap, too, but I hate it, LOL. Must be my damn bony shoulders...

I guess that book really did stick with me far better, not to mention that it was 100X more useful in the real world, than anything I read/learned in grad school. That quote just popped right into my head when I read your post. :p

Who ARE you? My long lost brother that I never knew I had....





....nah. Can't be. I'd never stalk my brother.

Well I will post the details once I have them. So far I know May 5 and the venue. I plan to post it in the Toronto GTG thread to in case any of those guys are interested in coming by.

Singer is great at promising to do stuff then leaving it to the last minute.

i.e.
Saturday - Great rehearsal. I'll send out a set list so we all know what to work on for next week.

Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur - Emails from us "Do we have a set list?"

Friday - "Here's the set list. Let's really work on this."

So...an interesting thing happened at work today. My boss popped in and asked me if I'd be available to go to Canada this spring. Specifically, Mississauga. Guess what my answer was....... :smug:

So...


At the audition tonight we played the Robert Cray tune, "Phone booth". I was slighty rough the first time through and nailed it on the sesond time though.

Then we played Stevie Ray's "When the house is a rockin", That was tight in one take.

Then they threw a fast, but simple original at me and it went well.

Lastly, we played "Little red rooster" and we all had fun with it.



So...


I'm now a bass player in a blues band!!! (With a good friend on drums!)

Well, aside form landing the sub gig for the festival, it was an uneventful week in Lake WhoaBigOne.

Tommorow is the special day (and a half) I have been waiting for. I may be around, I may not. I might be sober, but I seriously doubt it, so if I say anything stupid, I apologize in advance. :o

I am back to work Thursday PM for a few hours. And off again Friday, just for mischief.

Took off yesterday as I was sick and wrapped myself in a blanket and watched TV with one brain lobe on standby. Came back to work this afternoon, got caught up.

Good for now.

Hope you're feeling better, Thor. We've been missing you. Have a great time on your special day and a half! Hope it's a blast.
