Most of he time has been "in transit" from Edmontopn to Vancouver - over a week. From two days ago on, we can blame the USPS. But objectively, CP's tracking reporting is pathetic, and their chatbot acts more keyword driven than anything else. After a couple of queries that got me nowhere, I asked to speak to a human. I got lost in a "please provide this info" list that was all stuff they had right there associated with the tracking number (or should have). SO I gacve up and asked, "Is the expected delivery date to my address or to customs?" and the andswer was, "We have no control over what customs does with your package."
The USPS has its share of problems, but the tracking reporting is better, as is their help.

I know you were (at least somewhat) kidding but just needed to vent.

My guess is that it was the route. FedMess brought my bass down through Calgary, Montana, Utah, Nevada to San Berdu. Seems that would have been the more logical route to Texas. Frustrating for you I know. But you’ll have her soon enough.

Thanks, you have the vocals correct. Next steps are to find a real lead singer and add more songs so we can do a full hour set. Then just have to find a venue that does the 3 bands in a night type of gig.

Gotta give you guys much credit.
Was all very well done.
Special kudos to you Dave from coming out of nowhere and now gigging.

Great job man.

Originally a Dylan song, but they're playing it Hendrix style. He might need a different key, too.

Yeah, sometimes simpler is better.

Zaki takes singing lessons but not sure how far that can take him. He strains too much and that’s more an issue with the songs he picks. Adding a lead singer is our consensus so he can just play guitar.

Steal John Michael away.

Thanks, you all are my inspiration.

When I learned it, played it in A minor with standard tuning.

Should I ever try a JBass, it’ll be this one. Not everything needs to be blue, even in my world.

You're next.

 

[MCF]

You're next.

Sure hope so. Hoping to see my new friend Cary Park play this Friday night up at the mountain, if it doesn’t rain again (it might). I’m thinking he could be a way to meet some players. There’s also a guitar society up there I need to get active with. Need to brush off some major cobwebs on the six string…

There is a very nice ‘14 that came up on offer over in the Thunderbird FB group for $1500.00. It’s in PA.

nah, told me he wants to join your band....

 

[MCF]

Only if we can have Becca.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Only if we can have Becca.

let me ask...

Finally got the videos of 4 songs from Monday night. My previous comments regarding the need to beef up vocals stands, but things seemed acceptable to the crowd.

Got watch on TV. It was great to see you play. Even though you didn't do the splits or jump off your amp. First gig...very good. I agree with you on vocals. The main part of the band (rhythm section), sounded really good. Not the weak link in the band at all. I've heard plenty of bands who have been together much longer and didn't sound that good. Kind of a backward complement, but meant as a positive one. I liked that everyone in the band seemed to be there to play and try to do well and not think of it as a "hey, notice me" opportunity. I watched some guys a while back and they were trying too hard, if that makes any sense. Well done and keep up the work. I'd come see you guys.

I have a Greco currently at Pat Wilkins and while I was going to do Alpine (pure) white, I’m thinking of going green instead. I don’t have this bass anymore but I love the color I chose for it and how it turned out.

My first and only so far kit built bass...

 

[dagrev]

Yeah. Has me in a state of envy. Very cool for Dave.

I know. I'd love to find some guys to do the occasional gigs of our choosing. Was thinking a drummer would get healthy and want to, then moved. I've got some guys in mind, but am hesitant to ask if they are interested and then me not be able to pull my weight. We'll see.

As close as I can get to WBW:

If I hadn’t spent so much on gear recently, I’d be all over this.

I don't have the facebook but if this is close to me (PA 19312), I would be happy to facilitate.
