snowing again

not much new going on, staying busy at work, and practicing with the band. we do have one new song written, but not recorded yet. carl was gone on vacation this week, so we practiced without him. and since i only do a few leads, i had the guy who does all my guitar work, brian wicks, come over and be the lead player for the evening. i've had several people ask about the gear i use, and i'm waiting until brian gets his web site up so i can link to it since he has done a lot of custom work to my guitars the last few months. so as soon as his site is ready i will get everyone current on the junk i use on stage. we still have mike larsen playing with us on bass, though we have not made any decisions as to what to do on a permanent basis. i myself have started leaning to play bass also so that if need be we could play as a three piece band, but we plan on having a permanent bass player. i also played around on the drums this week while i was getting everything set up for practice, and it's a sure thing i'll never make a living as a drummer. i can't play guitar and tap my foot at the same time, much less do four different things at once on a drum kit.

right now, i'm off to bob ward's suprise birthday party (i hope he's not reading this yet), so everyone have a great weekend.

it depends on who "a mike" is. if he is some well proportioned guy willing to carry your equipment and set it all up so you just have to sit around and play, i think it's a great deal. if you meant to say a new "mic", then that is still a great deal, it just means you have to carry all your own equipment around as you have been for the last 30 years. in fact, i have been working on a post of all the music gear i'm currently using, and i want to use that picture of you and uncle billy, so if you send me an email of what you guys are currently riding on the bluegrass circuit, i will make it all one big post. that way everyone will know that there are some "wood boys" that can actually play, instead of this "wood boy" who can only grow long hair and play barre cords.
