[armybass]

All of the above Steve.

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Whore...get your butt in Dallas Nov. 4th is all I can say...

 

[SteveB]

Y'know what's really cool?

That you gig with the Flaming Biff Bongo.

A lesser man would keep it hidden away in a locked case, never to see the light of day, afraid that something might happen to it.

I never understood the appeal of owning something really nice and never using it.

Kudos.

Even though they could be museum pieces, you really have to PLAY MusicMan instruments. They look amazing, but they play even better than they look!

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Ya gotta play the Flaming Biff....if ya got one that is.

Glad to see that the pics came out alright. I wish the battery had lasted a little longer.

I took my Mississippi friend Bill with me last night and we both had a great time.

Hey Jack, was the name of that band that followed ya'll Airline? They were real good.

Looks like fun, Jack. Those monitors look like behemouths. There's a Milwaukee group, if I'm reading you right, that does their own arrangements of covers. They're young guys and mostly the covers are borderline hard rockish. Fine for them and the young folk like' em well enough and they gig everywhere. Not exactly my taste though.

We take somewhat of a similar approach to our covers and variety. On Folsum Prison for example, our keys player plays harmonica and the guys do an echo harmony to my lead on that one: "He knew he can't be free" giving it a Boxcar Willie'eque sorta sound.

In our youth, we tried our damndest to sound just like the record. But through the years, we've had more fun coming up with our own cover concoctions. Can you say 3-part hamony on Hard Days Night and ending cha-cha-cha? Some would say blasphemous. Never got the crap beat out of me playing it that way, though.

All my band does is covers, but not a single one of them is intended to sound like the record. We only listen to the original to learn the song, then we go off and encrustulate it to suit ourselves. 'Tis a far, far better thing to make the music fit your strengths than to try to pretend you're someone you're not.

The twisted thing is that after you get used to doing it your way, when you hear the original it sounds wrong!

 

[Mobay45]

The band I'm in likes to stay as true to the original as possible.

I like the way we sound, but there are times that I wish they would be a little more free with the translation.

 

[Bill]

Wow...not only is Jack a musician, he's a drummer, too!

Now what have I ever done to you, Bill, to make you so mean and vicious?

 

[bovinehost]

BTW, for you local yokels, we'll be back at Club Dada on the 5th of August.

Saturday night slot! Woo-hoo!

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

You rocked a tough crowd and got a call back??

Now that's smokin!!!

 

[Bill]

Now what have I ever done to you, Bill, to make you so mean and vicious?

It's not you...it's my current job & work environment. It's affecting my family life, too.

Almost the exaxt opposite to us. You should hear our version of Olivia Newton John's physical.... we turned a song about a subtley about sex into a complete sex romp... We also combined a tori amos song with a tool song...
