Hi CWB!
Band practiced tonight. Tat, I would expect to hear "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" if you make it here in 2 weeks. Only our 2nd crack at it and we have it in a pretty happy place.

Was a bit of a rough practice because we are getting so close to the big show that we have to focus on all the rough bits and work them out. So we didn't cover too much material but we did fix up a lot of little bits that brought some songs together.

In other news, our drummer would happily have a CWB mount him though his wife might not be so impressed!

And you are fortunate that I know most of the backing vox to that. LOL.

ON another note - video links coming tonight. But please be kind - it took me a week to watch them myself.

LOL. It's not the playing that has me critical. It's the backside. Ben and Jerry and I have become far too well acquainted. Sadly, I'm going to have to kick them off my "favorite men" list. Perhaps, if I'm careful, I can still keep Jim, Johnny, Jack, and Jose there.

My instructor has been on me relentlessly lately to get out and play and he invited me to sit in with his blues band tonight. Holy crap, these guys are GOOD, they all have long resumes, but it was my job to hold it down for them and make them sound good my first time out.

I played 4 songs and the only one I even heard of was the second one, The Thrill is Gone. The fun part is we played it in A minor instead of B minor so, for the only song I kind of knew how to play, I had to transpose it in real time. The other three songs I don't even remember the names of. I just got told the key and off we went.

All the guys were really supportive and were helping me out with the chord changes. I know I made made mistakes but when I missed something because I didn't know the song, someone would help me out so I got it the next time. So, overall, I had a blast and I was told it sounded good. I only wish I could have heard what I was playing. I had the PA speaker at my head and my cabinet was at my feet on the floor, so I'll have to take their word for it.

My wife only got one grainy cell phone photo, but at least there's "evidence". I'm guessing Chuck will approve of my choice of bass. :D

Yay!!! You did it!!!!

And stop hating on the fact that I prefer to play barefoot. Barefoot rocks.

After the stalking pedicure I gave you, you better go barefoot and show it off! :D :p ;)

But, nicely done, T. :) I wish I had better speakers to listen through, but since everyone else is asleep I can only listen on the laptop. :( And I certainly approve of YOUR choice of bass!



OK, time for me to hit the hay. I've got a lot to pack into tomorrow and need to be up early to get started on it all. 'Night, folks!
