Vito Corleone

The RRHF has long had a very broad definition of “rock”. I can’t even get worked up about that anymore.

All of them probably deserve to get in eventually. Except maybe Thin Lizzy. For this go around? My 5-7: Todd Rundgren. Depeche Mode. Pat Benatar. Doobie Brothers. Kraftwerk Whitney Houston. Judas Priest

Just for the record, (pun intended), “Good Vibrations” isn’t on Pet Sounds. It was recorded and released later and was included on Smiley Smile.

Never played one. But let me guess. They have a lot of watts?

I guess you went beyond nose-tweaking.

I spent a year in Bakersfield one week.

It was invented in Hawaii by Joseph Kekuku https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kekuku The ukulele, on the other hand, made it’s way to Hawaii via Portugal.

Burns’ work is great for learning about things you previously thought you had little interest in.

Never believe anything until you are actually booked and the contracts come back! I think I learned that when I was 16! People also get tired of bands too sometimes. There are events we will do 2-3 years in a row and they go great and everyone loves us and then they don't ask us back anymore. I get it. People get tired of having the same band year after year. They want something different. Nothing wrong with that. Just part of the business.

Yep. More likely, I'll end up midi'ing it into my existing boards, but without being to access it easily, I'm better off using rack gear with presets. I'm thinking it will likely end up just being a fun toy to play with at home. But, oh, the fun!

That's pretty cool! But why only 2 octaves The mini-moog was 3 1/2.

At that price I may have to pick one up just for the hell of it. But I have hard time finding much usefulness of it being a rackmount module. Part of the whole deal of a Mini Moog was having the controls right above the keyboard and making adjustments on the fly. I suppose I can put it in a rack and somehow try to position it above a controller or another keyboard? Not very practical for live gigs though.

Haha! Yes that was it! So simple now that I know it. One of those things where I couldn’t get past hearing my own count and then once the drums came in I couldn’t turn it around. And then it bears no relation to what the vocalist is doing. It was driving me crazy. Thanks!

Thanks! I’ll give that a try.

This may sound lame but I could actually use some help on this: my band has been asked to do Rascal Flatts’ “My Wish” for a wedding this weekend. And this is one we get asked to play from time to time and have done it before. But I have never been able to figure the counting for the piano riff at the beginning. It sounds like it is in one place and then turns around once the kick drum starts. But I still can’t get it. Sounds to me like they used a loop and purposely tried to make it sound f’d up. Anyone have a clue where the “one” is on the piano riff? Lol.
