Members chunky-b Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 So I really enjoy playing bass, but I have limited opportunities to do so... So I take what I can get.

Members chunky-b Posted August 27, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 27, 2012 So I get to the gig late, hoping they have everything setup... Drummer / sound system owner still doesn't know how to put his own system together and I have to show him where the monitors plug in... Piano player / fill in acoustic player didn't bring direct boxes and wants to run 40 foot instrument cables to the board... He was a professional sound engineer in California, remember. (See my bloggish rant on quitting the band) So we get set up and I say "screw it. Rock out. Have fun. Get through." Rain held off just long enough. We cut a lot of the cover tunes that were rough and played more of the rockin' church stuff we knew. Finished off with "Drift Away" "Jesus take the wheel" "Bright Lights" etc... NO SWEET HOME ALABAMA!!! Taken from the homeowner associations FB page: Thanks to all of you! Fun time. My grand children had a wonderful time and so did I. The band was remarkable. Thanks again! Enjoyed the shindig! Good Food, Good Music and great weather......THANKS! Mission accomplished... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
