Virginia Bassists

It's true. Born in Philadelphia; came down to Richmond for school in '92 and never left.
One of my band mates just got back from a trip to Peru. He came back with a nasty bug called dingy fever. Look out for mosquitoes!
We don't have dingy fever but we do have the Great Dismal Swamp so we know a little bit about mosquitoes.
As a kid, I caught the Kneasles. Its like the measles but only affects your legs. That's nothing...my dad suffers from Tolio.

Hey guys, if you're local, I have an opportunity for you to get into an established band - mine.

Okay, I'll bite....what happened? Why the vacancy?

You don't miss the hoagies? Or the pretzels or the bread or the pizza or the water ice?
My mother in-law lives in Kempsville, just down the street from Pat's Place and my sister-in-law lives in one of the neighborhoods hit in Suffolk.
Her street was on the front page of all the papers and CNN for about two days. The news cycle has moved on, but I know they're still really struggling down there.
We all need to remember that those families still need help.
Yeah, I'm just not "feeling it" any more. They're great guys, but I need to be in a band that allows me more input and less workhorse.
Thanks for the clarification 'cuz I was gonna ask you to come mow my yard. There's about two dozen band "projects" on CL looking for bassists. Sure you'll find a fit somewhere.
Riis
Oh, they're definitely not a project band. We've gigged (not as much as I'd like) and rehearsed (fairly regularly) and recorded, the whole deal.
You ever been in a band that you thought would be great, and denied the personality conflicts and disgruntlement for the sake of the music? I just gotta face the fact that I just don't groove to the music anymore. We're just from different planets, musically, and I thought I could deal with it, but not anymore. It's really not their "fault" - it's just that we don't click.

Hadnt checked in on this thread for a while. Man, I had no idea there were so many "active" bassist in the Commonwealth.
Me either. I think Virginia is a breeding ground (or a magnet) for bass players. I'm originally from New York.
Something doesnt figure though. THeres an abundance of bassist here but yet, Craigslist Virginia is always looking for bass players.
Is it that.....Virginia bassist dont play in bands?
(btw, if anyone visits the UBP site forum as well, you'll notice, theres a Virginia bassist thread there too. THere is somethying truly strange about this state. No other state, other than Colorado, has its own thread over there.
What do we have the other 49 states dont?

More time to post on the internet because of not playing in bands?
