This place was getting quiet...

587

Wow! Where does the time go? Sorry I haven't been around. Fall is the busiest time for me, music wise. Had gigs every weekend since late August to now. We call it the "Camping Tour". Anyway, playing in 2 bands and filling in on Bass for 3 more has kept me hoppin'. Man I Love playing Bass! But not quite as much as my Mandolin!

Uhg, I hate conference calls at work!

Hey Ant.  I wish I played out as much a you.  I got a gig December 1, though.  Stoked about that...

606

607

608

Wow! It happened again! I woke up on this side of the lawn. Man I feel good.

Just tell us that your wife didn't throw your stuff all over it, and we're good.    ;^>

612

Yeah TSSN, we play out quit a bit, but it's all just for fun. We rarely get a "paying gig". But I tried that once before. I played bass in a professional band for about 10 years. We had a nice van and a trailer, a sound man with an awesome PA on contract, a contract with a big time booking agency, the whole thing. It was fun, but man all that traveling got old. We would play one week at Penn State, Princeton, Ohio State, then the next weekend we would hit Charlotte, Mississippi St, and Alabama. We put some miles on the old van for sure.

Now I just play for the shear Love of it. And it really is much more fun when your not trying to carve out a living doing it.

Have a great weekend everyone!

It is officially the holiday season..my first large holiday tin of Royal Danske butter cookies followed me home from Target....I imagine I could eat a zillion of the things, but I'll just start with trying, oh..

616 

Mmm, butter cookies.

I could eat 617 of 'em!

Well, it finally happened. I was at a party this weekend and after performing we went back to the camp site around a nice fire and did some pickin'. Wouldn't ya know, I lost my BC pic. Darn it! I've had that thing just short of 2 years without losing it and now it's gone, gone, gone. So sad....

New Years resolutions for Mandolin this coming year? Mine is to practice more. More scales, more songs, more melodies.
