Members Funkee1 Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 No, they do not have a trombone!!!! Saturday, I went and played with Rusty Groove. They are cool guys with not much ego, and great players too. The drummer is a scene veteran like myself. These are not young guys. I played one of their originals for jamming sake (It's on the myspace page.... Funk it up), and we jammed it for a while, then we talked for a bit. I showed them one of the songs I was going to use for my own CD (the one Scott dropped the ball on....), and they took to it like ducks to water, then I started playing "Panther" By Marcus Miller, and they jumped on it. We jammed it for about 30 minutes!! When we were done, I asked if they had heard it before, and they said "No! What was that? Did you write it?" I said no, and wen't and got the CD from the car. It was so close to the way we played it, I was shocked!!! They had never heard it before, and instinctively knew the right stuff to play! I think this is gonna be a good fit!

Members PaulyWally Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 Umm... cool??!? Seriously... that's pretty kick ass. Going to a jam session and having everyone click like that is better than sex... IMHO... Are you in? Or are they looking at more guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willbill0587 Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 They only had you coz they saw you had a GB rig armed with a Spector. Any musician that knows anything about anything will know not to {censored} with that monster! Sounds great, good luck with it. Hope it stays as good as it is now for ya':thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ThudMaker Posted July 23, 2007 Moderators Share Posted July 23, 2007 Oh I'm in!!So what's your current plan, bassgeek? What are this band's goals, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members funkrockfreedomfighter Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 So are you going to split from the NBB or do both at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funkee1 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 So what's your current plan, bassgeek? What are this band's goals, etc.? Well, answering both questions, these guys plan on relasing another CD, and they want to do either: Showcase gigs for their originals, or very high dollar corporate gigs. they want to gig a couple of times a month, but for the highest visibility, or the fattest paycheck. At this point, I am going to continue to do both, but I am not doing the long distance travel gigs, and with my trust issues with Mr. Carter, I may be backing out alltogether.........but that's later!

Members Thunderbroom Posted July 23, 2007 Members Share Posted July 23, 2007 As an aside...I looked out in the crowd Friday night and saw this guy: I had to do a double-take. I'd thought you'd flown in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, nothing like a jam that is so smooth and easy that it's almost effortless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members justinbass Posted July 24, 2007 Members Share Posted July 24, 2007 Oh I'm in!! wAY TO GO MAN. Side Note: Every time I am trying to figure out a hard funk line I think of you. I don't know why, but I just associate you with the funk. Take that as a compliment I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
