I got to "...send me your files..." and thought to myself "you're kidding, right?"And yet, for some reason, I hesitate...
Hello, my name is Greg, i recently moved back to the scranton area, after living and gigging in Colorado for the last 13 years. I play a homemade electric hot rod washboard! I'm interested in finding some cool people to jam with and maybe gig out. i've pioneered my own style of washboardigng over the last ten years with a mountain bluegrass band out of Colorado called Hunker Down Bluegrass, I have well over 500 live shows under my belt and many more jam sessions with national touring acts. I'm not limited to bluegrass, as i am into many other styles, my washboard has a unique sound that blends well in most settings, so email me if sounds like something you might be into.
"London is Calling"?!? "Holly came from Miami f.l.a." ?!? You're supposed to audition for homie, and he's not even sure of the correct song titles? That'll be a fun afternoon...
I'd like to see what he thinks a DB looks like

Self-Loathing Bass Player Wanted Classic Rock (Austin)
LET ME START BY SCREAMING AT YOU IN ALL CAPS THAT YOU MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME, PHONE NUMBER, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND THE PASSCODE TO THE BURGLAR ALARM AT YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S HOUSE. WILL NOT ANSWER UNLESS ALL IS SUBMITTED CORRECTLY IN AP STYLE AND STANDARD.
The genre of music is 30-40 years old, which should tell you something about our age and maturity level. We're looking for a bass player submissive and simple enough to never get in the way of our ferocious twin guitar attack, but still able to play the bass lick on Tom Sawyer (not that we'll ever actually play that song - it's just a test and to remind you of your place in the pecking order). If you happen to like any other style of music, HERE'S A LAUNDRY LIST OF NEGATIVITY THAT'S SURE TO CONVINCE YOU THAT WE ARE A BUNCH OF DOUCHES.
You must be willing to make a commitment to not flinch when people start laughing and leaving when our pudgy middle aged guitarist whips out "Eruption" while wearing a sleeveless Def Leppard tshirt, at the small-town spring festival trailer stage. Oh, here's some more negativity about how hard it is to fit in with this bunch. Yes, you must be perfect in every way, and be healthy - AIDS test and pap smear required.
Foremost, you must be willing to cling to the delusion that we'll be able to conquer the world by playing covers of 40 year old tunes and gradually work up to playing our original tunes, written in a similar 40 year old style that's not really popular these days. And you must never listen to any voice of reason that might realize that very few musicians in this town are making any significant money, and that all this talk about touring is never going to happen because we're too old to quit our jobs and go sleep in a van together. We will each know the truth that this is just a mid-life crisis hobby thing, but that MUST REMAIN UNSPOKEN AT ALL TIMES. We will speak to one another about the CAUSE of THE ROCK with Jack Black bravado. LONG LIVE THE ROCK, BRO!
Okay. . . a little more negativity. . . and. . . MUST BE WILLING TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT WE WILL RECRUIT BAND MEMBERS BY POSTING ADS ON CRAIGSLIST FULL OF NEGATIVITY AND OBVIOUS SELF-LOATHING. SURE, THESE WON'T GET A LOT OF RESPONSE, BUT WE'LL REPOST THEM INCESSANTLY, JUST LIKE WE DID A FEW MONTHS BACK. AND LAST YEAR. NEVERMIND THAT OUR AD WILL BECOME A TIRED JOKE - WITH PERSEVERANCE WE WILL FIIND SOMEONE AS SMALL-MINDED AS WE ARE.
LONG LIVE THE ROCK!
