What fun. Believe it or not we do "Sweet Caroline". It gets everybody singing and surprisingly it's even popular with the younger set. Have a good one.

I hope I'm gettin' charts, and if i do it'll be from the regular bassist. they might even just be a lyric sheet witht he changes above the words which would save some time :D it could be lucrative though because this particular band also does an ABBA set and a whole show called the "Shag Show" where they dress up in character from the Austin Powers movies and do that...the only thing is, is that the regular bassist is a woman and I'd have to dress up as Frau Farbissina...... me in tights...... could cause alot of work for therapists :p

You wouldn't be the only one needing therapy after the tights gig. LOL

Okay on the charts I just figured you had found something that would make covering songs easier. I never see any bass charts.

+1

By co-incidence I have been asked to sub (first time ever) for another covers band so it's a lot of homework before Saturday - Bohemian Rap, Livin on a prayer, Time Warp, Since you've been gone - ROCKTASTIC should be a fun change.
