I've been there too. Last gig I played was at Wellesley College. We played five original songs and had pretty good interest from the audience. Then the guitarist decided we should play Hendrix and Zeppelin.






HEY EVERYBOOTY!

This is it. Tonight at midnight.

I might just make it. Our guests are finally leaving!

Get your contest entry in today!
 
One of my guests (that have yet to leave) plays guitar. Really great player.

I threw my bass lines at him for my entry thinking he could add the guitar. He did some funky stuff, but the problem was that my bass line "has some serious flaws"

LOL! I love flawed stuff! Including bass lines and Humans!
 
I wish I had something, but I suck so bad so I don't have anything to submit. :D

Turns out the person I was counting on to do the recording/mixing (my son) was too busy with (Summer) finals and I couldn't recruit him. He was going to lay down some beats and record the guitar parts. I don't have the ears for that kind of stuff.

But, be patient with me, and some day I will repay you all. :)

Repay us?

You are too generous my brother.

Now lay down something, anything!

Nothing is not an option!

(9 more hours - do it!)
 
I have some mixing and "mastering" to do and I'm done. I could go back and redo a track or two. But there's a time to just go with what ya got. I could spend weeks going back and going back more and more but....

Yep. That is the truth.

I'm pretty much done too. Now going to ruin it with my guitar!

And maybe some more percussion. And maybe some strings. And maybe...Done!

Boom.

C'mon everybooty! Kick it out!
 
I won't be able to enter this one, thanks to the damage to my hearing a couple weeks back, but I'll be checking out all the entrees as they come in!!

I was doing a little jamming this morning, using the looper/sampler in Jamup. Up to now I haven't really spent much time with it, but I was having a blast fiddling around over a simple rhythm part I played. Might end up as part of a future recording.

Unfortunately, everything still has a tinge of distortion to it, and listening or playing music is really fatiguing to the ears. I'm gradually trying to play more, but up till today most of my playing has just been unplugged and simple patterns to keep the muscle memory and not lose my chops. Actually making music is going to take some adjustment.

But I can't wait to hear what everyone has done!! Bring em on!! :)
 
Cowbell. You know it will need more cowbell. :)

You know...Cowbell is the answer.

And Rip...

Maybe a bunch of folks are going to be late. I know Gary couldn't make the deadline and I don't feel anyone can truly "win" if we don't have a full representation of all the talent on this thread.

You are the Boss on this contest rules, but extend it for a week? Maybe?

(I'm coming in on time....another hour or two...)

:)
 
Ok here's the track of shame :)
Like I said before I'm no evangelos....the latest he did with "my blues serves me right" is killer

Use headphones or in ears or car stereo and CRANK IT!
