Silverbursted Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I started writing and recording my own stuff a couple of months ago. My latest effort turned out pretty good, so I shared it with a buddy from work, who in turn shares it with one of his buddies who contacts me to ask me to play in his band. I was literally blown away, because these guys are pretty tight and play out a couple of times a month. So last Friday was our first rehearsal, it went pretty well as they seemed to really get into my tone. Plus the covers they do are songs I already love to play (nice how that worked out). We went through several covers and even spent a couple of hours putting lyrics to one of my originals. Things were moving along nicely, until...bam, I get notified this afternoon I have to go to Alabama for two freekin' weeks leaving tomorrow morning!!! Son of a...The way things look now, I won't be able to play with these guys until the end of April. So much for my big break. I felt terrible telling them that I had to bag on them. Their last guitarist couldn't put the time in either, hence my opportunity. I hope I get another chance when I get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnate McDuanus Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Tough break, SB. Man, I wish you didn't have to go away, and you could be jamming with your new mates instead. Such is life, no? Â I hope they give you a second change. This sounds like a good opportunity for you. Good luck on that, boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruznolfart Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Too much. It's 2 weeks now' date=' back a week, 2 more weeks, then 2 weeks back then 5 more weeks. [blink'] Â Jeez, what a garbage schedule. Did you piss someone off? Sorry about the interruption of what sounds more like a fantasy than anything else, SB, hope it's not fatal.

Silverbursted Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Just tell the band to tour with you to Alabama! Now I like that suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverbursted Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 What kind of work do you do? I'm an Experimental Test Pilot. Got to go where the aircraft are. Oh well, I know this kind of work will keep food on the table. Playing in a band is looking more like pure fantasy, but it's so close I could taste it.

rocketman Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Too bad. I hope it works out for you in the end. I miss playing out a lot. I think by the end of the year I'll do some gigging again. So what tunes did you play with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverbursted Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Scorpions: The Zoo, Rock you Like a Huricane Judas Priest: Breaking the Law And 2 originals. Made for a nice set considering we only got to play a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
