Hey brother, it sounds like you are on the right road - I'm sure you will do fine, hang in there.  Have a great holiday if you cant get back and keep us up to date with your band.

What a great tune and not easy to play or sing.  You guys did great!  I've brought it up before, but you need to make a lot of noise when you are the lone guitar player - I wouldn't have it any other way!

Thanks for the super kind words!
I hope you and yours have a great holiday season.


Thanks again for all encouragement.
Fun as heck to play.
Fun to see people's faces with a "WTF?" look when I get out the kazoo.


So true about being a lone guitar player. Keeping busy and filling in the gaps is the name of the game for me.


Think I located a keyboard player finally.
Hopefully the right keyboard player.
A chick and nice on the eyes......that's a good start.


BTW, I play through 2 heads.
One based on Fender for reverb and tremolo.
I route that head into a 36 watt Marshall-ish circuit with VVR.
Then into a 2x12 cab.
A couple of pedals in front of that.
Just about the right amount of power for most smaller joints.


The acoustics in that gig were terrible, all the walls were concrete and not enough people to suck up the sound bouncing all over the place.
My guitar was acting up like crazy that night. Got home to find the 3 screws holding the bridge to the block were all loose and the separation was a few millimeters. Surprised I could play at all!

Need to get my shit together and get out all the mics and recording gear at one of our gigs.
Never happy with iPads and Sony camera.
Just lazy after setting up all the other gear.
I have hours of video.


Take care.
