Second practice with covers band I'm depping for went ok but I struggled a bit with some numbers, still not great at Love Her Madly and totally lost it in While My guitar Gently Weeps but also some success with a Moody Blues number The Story In Your Eyes. No keyboard player this time but hopefully get another practice the full band before the gig. Used my eb3 again as I thought it sounded pretty good at last one and I love it. Bit of vid if anyones interested. I love watching clips whenever anyone posts.

I'm just off to google Fanny now....

I have heard people say they've cut the silk back with a scalpel...may be an option.

So may find this interesting

Wunderhorse at Cheese and Grain in Frome....not been there before. Little warm up gig before they play Glastonbury.

Foot Money Cursed Air Fast Exit

yes....just outside Newbury...practice at Studio 91 at Greenham Common.

Second gig for my originals band last Saturday evening in Reading. Gig put on by a local promoter who has delt with our guitarist before. All new to me and was slightly nervous as only required to take Squier PJ-555 and pedalboard. Happy to find Markbass lm3 and 2x10 cab supplied. Small pub but a sizable enthusiastic crowd for the four bands. We were on second and went down very well. Friendly sound man and I could hear everything fine which encouraged me to do my backing Vox. I'm not great but it's so much easier when you can hear yerself. Lots of positive comments from audience members and one of the other bands want us to do a gig with them in September.....so far so good. update, some footage has shown up...got to work on that ending😆

The drummer from one of my old bands from the 90's contacted me to ask if I could play a gig with them as sadly their bassist had died suddenly. Went along for a practice last night and was blown away how good they were. All sixtys covers but not many that i'd ever played before or was even slightly aware of. I'd been practicing at how for the last week or so but still couldn't nail some of them. A Doors number and a Moody Blues one left me just sitting out while I recorded it to play to at home. Also wanted me to do Penny Lane but in a different key to original so that's on my to do list. A number by The Creations sounded great and Summer in the city went well but my fave of the night was Riders on the storm... nailed it imho. Lots to learn for next week but up for the challenge. Got a Zoom H2n recording of Making Time by The Creation from this practice. I'd never heard the song before so had a listen on YouTube to a live version....I think overplay a bit here but I was enjoying it so much. Didn't get the end right but plenty of time to sort that hopefully. Was using EB3. into fender rumble head through ampeg cab. stan practice - BC_.m4a
