Well here's to this. ^
What I saw this week as I browsed the local blues scene are highly tentative plans for March tryouts for a summer festival. Now
to me, this is an easy gig, it's a good gig — relatively speaking, given the eccentricities of the personalities of six string blues players — but at present an out-of-reach gig with few ways to get my name out in the musical community. No open mikes, no places to rub elbows &c &c
It is Christmas Eve two years ago when I make the resolve to join Ari Cap's
Music Theory for the Bass Player beta cohort. 2020 is the year I completed it — all 40 weeks — and we begin again in three weeks.
Feeling good about it.
A friend who I seldom see rang me a couple nights ago.
What are you doing? ... music theory blah blah blah ... and she says
going to hook you up with a friend who knows everyone in the local music scene
And — speaking of
combo amps — this friend who rang me is the very same friend whose son is (presumably still) the owner of my silversides Peavey TNT 100. It was a freebie to him on a pay-it-forward agreement. I've not seen it since it left my house, but I am assured it is loud. Would be stupid loud for the guitar he plays
