Don't you guys have a major music/performing arts school there?

The Eastman School of Music, part of the University of Rochester, has well-known programs in both jazz and classical music.

The ABB tune, last one on the list.

Not correct.

Nice gig report! Those type of dives can be fun to play. Always a story to tell when you're done.

Firefly is the cover. I know a version by Dan Zanes. Great song.

Nope

Nice to see some familiar faces and places on talkbass. Also good to see Tough Old Bird is still going strong! Always enjoyed the tunes.
When I saw "BugJar" I had to check out the thread, but I remember playing shows in Fredonia with Matt as far back as 8(?) years ago. I played bass for Honey Spine, Bold Folly, and Hunting For Teeth.
I remember a HFT gig at the BugJar with my old Fender 300watt tube rig... no PA or DI that night, but we were still worried about the couches falling off the ceiling from the vibrations. Also, right around that time, there were quite a few break-ins into bands' cars where equipment went missing. I vaguely remember news of the shooting, but that stuff happened in Buffalo too. Can't let a couple of bad eggs ruin the fun for everyone, right?!

I live in Rochester in the south wedge. Compared to alot of places that I have lived in the music scene is better then good lol

Bold Folly sounds familiar. So you went to Fredonia? Are you from Buffalo?

 

[Jay Corwin]

BTW the cover is Cold, Cold Ground by Tom Waits for those keeping score.

Yup, graduated from Fredonia. Grew up in the Southtowns, but did live in Buffalo for some time after college. Bold Folly is still a band, though they revamped their sound and line-up after I moved down to FL. Very talented bunch. You should give them a listen sometime if you get a chance!

A most excellent song choice!

BTW it seems like every band I play in has someone that went to Fredonia in it!

They toured all the way out to Seattle and back last year. I'm old, so I don't tour.

The Bug Jar is one of the few places in Rochester for an original band to play. Music scene is not what it used to be. I've been playing in and around the Rochester area for 35+ years. Still getting paid the same...
