Ugh tease!
 
:thumbsup: I'll have to combine TSC & BG lists to see how many songs we're currently playing. My friend Cork who played in bands in the '60s in SF said they knew over 100 songs! I asked him when they rehearsed and he said "rehearsed?" - they would get to the gig early and learn a couple new songs before starting. It was a different scene back then - he played every day of the week and twice on the weekends.

My old singer gigs 5-6 days a week on Broadway in Nashville. Every once in a while he hits me up about a fly-in gig (often enough I'm finally formally putting together a fly board). The song list this time is 82 long. Luckily, I know about half of them already this time around. Last time it was 57 but the entire first set consisted of songs not on the list. Man, that was fun night.
 
You know where that one came from, and, you have the ear of a Gibson Rep. If they could do it once they can do it.
I have been applying steady pressure, I gave him this he

says he bumped it upstairs.
 
Also, as much as I'd love bening in some form of harder rock band (anything from Uriah Heep to SSPU), I'd be perfectly happy to play bass in a band with a devotee of Albert, Stevie, Buddy, etc.
No kidding. To be Tommy Shannon would have been amazing. Playing with Johnny Winter then later with SRV.
