    The Bongo at Rehersal

    Took the Bongo to Praise Band Rehersal yesterday evening and it went great. 1st off the Bongo sounded good flat and was very nice when I messed with the EQ. 2nd it's really light weight compared to my Sterling and 6-string. Me and the guitarist really locked in too, and it was just great. I was very happy. So here are some pics:

    lol. The sound was surprisingly good, since during rehearsal I play through a floor wedge monitor as I'm the only one that needs to be plugged in.

    Eric, talk to the church people about some kind of food-assistance program.

    BTW, my afro (when I was 18) eats your afro for breakfast.



    Just after this, I learned to eat sandwiches.

    It's a Moody Talk Bass strap, currently not available. They will run you somewhere around $100-$150 (Moody Straps).

    My afro is not much right now, I used to have longer hair and dreads and a mohawk and buzz cut:












    And I eat plenty. 3 meals a day, snacks, and Ice Cream every night.
