Congrats Eric - and congrats on the Blue Dawn Bongo you got today!

 

[saxnbass]

HAHA, Thanks guys. I'll be posting pics of the Blue Dawn in about .......... an hour or two when I can put it down long enough to upload the pics to my computer and then photobucket. The pics are taken, they just need to be uploaded.



And I don't know how much net time I'll have at college, but I have a site with a blog that I'm going to try and keep pretty updated. It's http://web.mac.com/ericnupp

niiice i dont know where leeds is ... but i think its near where i am at the moment... CONGRATS

 

[saxnbass]

Leeds is in Yorkshire. If you take Liverpool, follow over to Manchester, continue that line for a bit you'll find Leeds.

I'll be taking 3 basses and an amp. The 3 EBMMs (Sterling and 2 Bongos) and my MarkBass rig. BlueDawn pics are uploading to PhotoBucket now, be on the lookout for a thread about it.

Congrats.

Not sure about the music scene in Leeds.

I believe Simon Merrick studied at that same college.

I am about 2 hours North of Leeds by car.

I have a favor to ask of you UKers. Could someone please PM me the process of getting a driver's license in the UK? Thanks a bunch. I have a car I want, but need my license still.

 

[jaylegroove]

Eric, you first need to get used to sit on the right seat, no more on the left one...

 

[saxnbass]

lol. I've been to England. Actually, the driving didn't throw me at all. I guess I'm a logical person. I kind of think of things in rules or mathematical. Really. I got there and was like "driver is always supposed to be in the center of the road and away from the sidewalk". Not the best of examples in the "rules or mathematical" way I think, but yeah.

A mate of mine, Jem is going there to study Bass/Jazz in September. Give him a shout dude.....really nice guy. He's from Kings Lynn but has been out in Abu Dhabi for the last 5 years.

I also know other muso's who went there. One guy couldn't play a note on the keyboards and came out of there really hot! And no, I'm not talking about A/C!
