  1. Thanks! I think I am going to give "Wouldn't It be Nice" a shot, I think we can make it work. Thanks! Rod
  2. Cool! I'll look into it! Any idea on a beach boys tune? Rod
  3. Oh...guitar stays the same...sorry! In Me and Julio, no lead with only one guitar playing. Rod
  4. Guitar, cajon, and whistle! It's alwasy fun and you can do it for a loooong time if people are dancing, always works! BTW, we just merged to songs for a new (to us) medley - "What I like about you" and "R-o-c-k in the USA" great response and works great with one guitar! Here is the structure we are using: What I Like About Rockin in the USA hey..uh uh huh what i like about you you hold me tight tell me im the only one wanna come over tonight keep on whispering in my ear tell me all the things i wanna hear cuz its true thats what i like about you thats what i like about you They Come from the cities And they come from the smaller towns Beat up cars with guitars and drummers Going Crack boom bam R-O-C-K in the USA R-O-C-K in the USA R-O-C-K in the USA Rockin
  5. Me and Julio and The Boxer are always winners with us, people always respond well. We use Me and Julio as the first song when we want to "pick things us a bit" and it always works! Drops of Jupiter works really well for us as well but we do it in the natural key so I am not sure how it works drop tuned. I want to add a Beach Boys tune to the set, any ideas/recomendations? Rod

  8. you may find that when you try to go off the omeprazolone , you will get some major heart burn. Its pretty common. One thing you do need to do if you are on that is to use a B12 supliment that is a cream that is absorbed into your blood stream. With very low acid in your gut ,, you wont get any B12 from food and very little from vitamins. Get plenty of sunshine too. The PPL's that you are on ,, require you do get your B12 from other places than food or pill form. It can really make you feel like shit when you get low on B12 and D. been there done that. This is great info! I take vitamins daily and never tought about this! I'll look into it, and scold my doctor for never metnioning this to me! Thanks! Rod
  9. Yeah, the worst days are usually after a gig. I posted a thread similar to this awhile back. I read somewhere that use of the diaphragm...singing...can push acids back up into your throat. When I get it, it feels as if my lower throat is burning. Some people don't even know they have it because it occurs while they're sleeping! Beware...BEWARE... A lot of people think their voice is strained beacuse of singing when it's really acid damage caused by reflux. Singers in bands tend to eat crappy food, drink, and do drugs...what else can you add to the shitty causes of acid reflux list!? Oh...after doing all of this we crash in bed and try to sleep! Getting reflux under control and drinking sparingly was a game changer for me this year! And Grace, day 11 today! Rod
  10. Hi Grace! I am on day 10 right now and I feel great! Really great, full of energy and drive with high spirits! Just walked the dog, mowed my lawn and am in the middle of cleaning my fish tanks! I am using meal replacement shakes twice a day and drink plenty of liquids. I also have a doctor monitoring me so I am not "freelancing" some crazy idea! Short fasting periods are great to cleanse your system, something more radical like this should be tought out and executed with care. I am going for 30 days! ... Rod
  11. Yes...I had throat cancer and had to relearn to speak and sing, I am much better at it now than before! How is that for a change in lifestyle!? Back on topic... I have acid reflux and keep it controled with omeprazolone on a daily basis. I also changed me eating and drinking habits to make this less of an issue, no late meals, no acidic foods when possible, sparse drinking. I am actually in the middle of a fasting period right now, tomorrow it wil lbe 10 days with no solid foods, I am going for 30 days so it's just one third of the way there; next week I stop my acid reflux medication and hope that I will not need it again, at least untill I break the fast. I sang today, most doo wop centerd stuff with a guitar player as the only instrument, I never felt better and never received so many compliments on how good my voice sounded! I had total control over it, I felt incredible! Whisper sounds were clear, influctions where audible...I loved it! Good luck to you! Rod
  12. Interesting (cool) set list How does the Modern English tune go over? Hey Mike, it goes over better than expected, this was one tune I tought people would just talk over you know but everyone was singing it, once we got to the hum-hums pretty much everyone was doing it at the bar, we go back straight into the chorus so the tempo picks up with sing a longs, made a great pre-set for You May Be Right that we start right away with voice and guitar at the same time. Rod
  13. they both soud like falsetto to me...already said that. Rod
  14. sorry but none sound like head voice, and I am also not trying to be a douche, just being honest. Rod
