Complete Randomness

So, it's been rather nice keeping my schedule wide open for music purposes. I received a call, the night before yesterday, from a band I had planned to audition for but never heard back from. Apparently, they had a competition they were scheduled to perform the next day, but their lead guitarist had backed out randomly the night before hand. Basically, the singer called me at around 11pm that night, I met him at noon the next day, learned the band's set in an hour or so, met with the whole group a few hours later, and then performed that night! Needless to say, it was quite the experience. The music is more indie/ambient than I'm used to, but I think that as a musician, it's important to stretch yourself beyond your comfort zone. Oh, by the way, their drummer is 14 and fucking rocks! Reminds me of the good ole' "Vitamin Funk" days!

On another note, the same night I was performing with this band, I manged to make friends with the sound guy for the venue we were playing at. (http://www.tinroofbars.com/Home/Knoxville) He invited me to come jam around with a group he's putting together, that does Hip-Hop/Funk/Soul grooves, which I fucking love! So I'm looking forward to seeing where that takes me as well.

Yeah, music isn't looking too bad here in BFE, Tennessee. I'm going to try and get me one of them' there' fancy cameras and shit, so I can post pictures and videos of the stuff I'm getting into around here. That may require me to get a job. Damn! All I want to do is play guitar all day.

That's all for now.


As always, remember kids, love is love,
