daveinspain Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Went to the rehearsal with the new bass player. It went surprisingly well... We got through 12 of the tunes. We'll go threw the other 6 tomorrow, Thursday, when we set up at the venue.... Then the day after tomorrow, Friday, we have the gig... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryUK Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Great. Keep it fresh. Is it the first gig? If so, go straight back to rehersal and put the wrongs right. Then get another gig. I learnt a long time ago about too much rehearsal. It makes things stale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Dave I'm rooting for ya and hope things work out. There's nothing quite as depressing as having your band fall apart after all the hard work. The last band I was in was probably the best I'd ever played in. Great musicians (me not withstanding) and 2 lead vocalist that were so good we could do any type of music with terrific vocal harmonies. We worked hard at it for 5 years built up a nice following and played bigger and bigger gigs even writing some of own stuff but things slowly went south. One of the lead singer's marriage was breaking up and he started to miss more and more practice. The original bass player left out of frustration and things just fell apart. Here's hoping you guys can keep it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do classic Rock from the 50s 60s and 70s and some current hits. We are also doing one of my original tunes which everyone loves... :-) The singers got the gig but it will be attened by mostly my people.... It's our third gig...

Californiaman Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I agree with Duane. You have to learn that song. I think it'll go over big with any Spanish crowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
