Who's playing tonight??

I'm on from 9:00 til 1:00AM

Anyone else? I guess in some places that people are from here, it may be getting close to midnight soon.

I'm playing in Barnstaple tonight, about 60ish miles away. 1AM finish, but that's normal for this particular club, so it's a pretty standard night really....

Sadly - after a very busy Nov and Dec (a couple of different Christmas parties) I will not be playing tonight. Just spending time with some close friends with cards and beverages.

I am playing a Monterey Music Cafe tonight in Allen Park MI ... we put on a good show last night ... a forum member Ken Joseph was there ... he and his friend were impressed with the tone of my 4-2-5 basses ...

I wish my band was playing tonight, but my guitar player is visting his family in Wisconsin for the holidays and we are in the middle of a drummer change anyway.
All you guys have a great gig tonight, party and drive safely.

I'll be playing not tonight, but this coming tuesday. It will be at a local restaurant where someone's birthday party is scheduled to start at 5:00 p.m. and end shortly after midnight.
A powerful 2006 to everyone.

I've got a do for the prison guards in Springhill tonight, though the sound guy is having an "odd" day.
Hopefully he'll get over it & we can have some fun!
Good luck & drive SAFE everyone!
See you in the next

No gigs for me until February, after our CD is recorded (hopefully). I'll be tweaking my BassPOD settings and jamming a little tonight in the basement.

Those who are heading out tonight... please buckle up, drive sober or catch a ride, and watch out for friends. Happy New Year!

well I did the new years weekend gig ... boy am I glad I don't earn a living playing music ... too much work and too little money ... but we did good ... we were tight ... but it is a new year and time for a new band ...

Jeff, sent you mail, I was there last night hiding in the "cheap seats".

Great show and band, shame it's coming to an end. If your next group is better, oh boy!

Big fun watching you work your *** off. Love that Ricky tone, you look and play like you were born with a 4003. Very cool to see a guy switching basses all night, all Ricks, all fivers. You don't get paid enough.

Shout out to the gal singer, a cutie, who nailed the Kelly Clarkson number.

Well done, thanks for the invite.

ugh. we had a huge crowd last night and the main band was on top of their game. but man, bar patrons can be such sloppy vile people. don't get me wrong, i hang out and drink in bars a plenty, but i guess i have a little more respect, even when drinking, to respect other people's proerpty...even if it's a dive bar.

by the way, the band was Rylo - www.myspace.com/rylo - bluesy, honkytonkabillyish stuff.

Here's a couple of pics from our New Years doins:

I played the 4080 for about 2/3 of the night. No sore shoulder, but my left arm & leg feel pretty tired!

Here's me last night after playing for 4 hours...
