Having BassCliff Gig Report Withdrawals

[BassCliff]

Hey gang!

We had another fun hang. Everyone brought stories of memorable live performances that we have attended, Rush, Kiss, Tal, Stanley, James Taylor, and a host of others in various venues. Sometimes we were in the nosebleed seats, sometimes in the front row, sometimes backstage, contact highs, dodging fireworks, and the wall of death! Thanks, guys, for sharing all of your fun.

Top row: @dbase (Live long and prosper), the old country bass player, @WI Short Scaler
Mid row: @ak56, @s0c9, @BassDad1964
Bottom: @nixdad (Live from the Brady house), @Tony In Philly, @Kitsapbass

Not pictured: @McG (last minute change in plans) and @bluesblaster (had a long day and crashed early). We hope to see you guys next time!

It is such a treat to get together with my friends, fellow bass players, and knuckleheads. You guys are the best. Have a Happy Valentines Day and a Patriotic Presidents' Day.

If you'd like to join us next week please drop your email in my PM box. Thanks!


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

I thought that background in chris' (nixdad) looked vaguely familiar. Sorry to have missed another but I may very well have nodded out during the proceedings anyway, look forward to seeing everyone soon.

No problem. Get your beauty sleep. You need it.

We also missed @Holdsg, @1bassplayinfool (had a gig!), and @Bassed in NZ, some of the usual suspects. I hope to see you guys soon, unless we all get back to gigging. Wouldn't that be great!


Thank you for your indulgence,

Hey Scott -
It’s time for you to join.
Since it will be your first call, please note it’s customary for the new guy to bring refreshments.

I like pizza.

Sorry I missed the party. It looks like another good time was had by all. You guys are always fun to hang with. Hopefully I'll be there next time with my usual mindless drivel.

thanks for hosting Cliff.. apologies for bailing early for dinner. I'd have been on my own if not! Looking forward to the next one!

 

[QORC]

not I. I'm not interested in gig reports, but I don't begrudge anyone that posts them either

Sorry I didn't make it this time always a good hang...

 

[BassCliff]

Hi Keith,

Sorry I didn't make it this time always a good hang...

You missed a good hang. We all had stories of bad travel, bad patrons, bad weather, bad load-ins, gloom, despair, and agony, deep dark depression, excessive misery. If it weren't for bad luck we'd have no luck at all.

This picture was taken just after @Bunk McNulty left us and just before @McG joined us. Sorry guys.

Top row: @dbase, the old country bass player, @bluesblaster (lookin' kinda fuzzy there Scott)
Middle: @nixdad, @ak56, @Tony In Philly
Bottom: @s0c9, @Holdsg, @Kitsapbass

Bonus points: Can any one guess who in this bunch used to be a keyboard player? We all know the uber-talented @Holdsg currently plays keyboards as well as bass. But there's another one lurking in the suspects above.

We'll talk about something happy next week, all puppies and lollipops. If anyone else would like to join us, please drop me a PM with your email and I'll send you an invite. Thanks guys! I do enjoy spending time with my bass brothers.

Sorry I missed it. My wife is in the hospital for a few days and things are a little disjointed around here. Hope to make it next time.

It was all a blur to me

Sorry I missed the meeting last night, sounds like fun as always.

Hoping all is well with your wife.

You were a blur to all of us.

 

[Bassed in NZ]

Sorry to miss it again team - had some pesky gigs lately that have got in the way!. Yesterday's was a wedding for the trio - good crowd (and full of good musos). No real photos - just one of the stage area before we played.

Eye fillet steak that the band got for dinner (same as the other guests) was to die for - gotta love a classy reception!

Hope to join a call again sometime soon - take care all
