CWB: Hey 19

I toast a shot of Jameson in your honor! May it be the first step of a long and joy filled journey.

edit: why did you wait so long?

I felt like I sucked. I didn't want to torture people.

outstanding! :bassist::hyper:

tell us more ...

Open mic night. Met up with Tom and played the charity bass for a couple of songs. I'm really surprised I didn't throw up on someone. I did okay. They threw a different arrangement at me and I lost my place a couple times, but no one threw bottles at me.

Awesome-ness!:bassist:

Thank you!
 
The MoCWB may be sending Mulebagger to Chitown for an attitude adjustment. I'll be happy to 'kick' in for the Gas.

Hey 'O', It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, a half a pack of cigarattes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses...can you spell "road trip"?

I told you guys I was toasting Tat with Jameson tonight...time for a Guinness/Jameson Boilermaker....
 
Boilermaker.....ooh, been a while since I did one of those!

In The Joy of Mixology, Gary Regan asserts that the name came out of 19th century Pittsburgh steel mills:

Indeed, the boilermaker was popularized by 19th century steel workers in Pennsylvania, who drank to wash away the taste of factory life. “It’s not a story with a lot of romance,” says Regan . “It was such a horrible job, you’d just want a slam of whisky before you had your beer.”

You're talking about my hometown drink.
 
I mailed my enrollment form and check for Bass Boot Camp today!!!!!

I know that "her Tatness" and I will be there (causing trouble), are any other CWBs or MoCWB going to be there?

I can't make it.

I am now wishing I had a beer..and there isn't any beer in the house!!
 
I did it. I played live on a stage last night with real people in a real place - with an audience and everything.

Mazel tov!

Good on ya!


IMO: the main thing about playing live is to know that the audience (for the most part) will hear the good things you play and will let slide the small deficiencies you'll remember.

IOW, the self-criticism that will will tell you what to practice for the next gig in no way determines the audience's perception of the quality of your last performance. The self-criticism is in your head; what they heard is another thing.

Edit: besides that, your boots looked cool. Right, FM? :-)

They dug what you did. And that's good. And you perceived what could be better, and that's good, also.

And your self-criticism points you toward how you'll take it to your next level, the next time you play.

I recommend this mindset to you! I took me four decades to understand, and it works very well, IME/IMO.
