Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I certainly hope this post is allowed? If not I certainly understand its removal.

But we have what we feel is an exceptional band and we are in the horrible position of having to fire our Berkeley trained bassist recently. We are now obviously searching for someone who can sing some harmonies and is an excellent mechanic to keep us on track and head out on tour. Yes we have an agency waiting. and in fact they are mad at us for this desciion but it was sadly the only one we could make.
So please take a look, here's the web site....it is being redone as you read...www.downinggrey.com and there are various youtube video's around as well.

I still have a 79 4001 I have been hanging onto just in case we found a musician that did not have any vintage equipment, but I am sure if I found someone from this site, the odd's are you'll have some great Ric equipment and know how to use it.
Thanks for your time, again... I know this is not amusicians classifed forum. but I have been a memeber for some time and I have bought and sold so many old ric's in here in the past and I have found so many oggd musicians in here, I thought since we are talking about work from musicians like Chris Squire in the set lists... I'd be OK in here.
Thanks again all.

Good luck with your search Randy. I hope you find someone from the forum that fits the bill.

Maybe John Biscuti could commute! I nominate JB as your next bassist.

Is this how it works?

Good luck in the search, Randy.

You guys wanna move to Montana????








Yeah, hope you find someone in your area...

They'd have to rename the band Drowning In Grey Dental Floss.

It's warmer in So Cal...and I've recently made myself available.

Yeah Montana is some beautiful country for sure. And CA well yeah... We do hope to be out there on the circuit if we can get lucky and get some great bassist to bite. California that is.... Montana might be a tough demographic to tap with this stuff.

And yeah... Zappa's on the work up list as well as Atomic Rooster, Focus, and a few others.

if any of you know of someone who is out my way (Albany NY) please give em a heads up, this band has some decent musicians and we plan to have some fun and make a little money if we can.

You guys sound great. You can count on me





... to stay in San Francisco. Let me know if you ever get out here.

..."is there anyone else up there we can talk to" ?

Well after some long discussions between the members and some serious changes made by our bassist he seems to have seen the light and is working on returning to the fold.

For fun here's the full version of Firth for those of you who idabble in the prog yourelves from time to time. Thanks again,
Randy

Love it! Great sound!


But man, you guys really should have moved to Montana. At least then, your bassist would use a Rick...

Great job, guys!!!

I first heard this song during Genesis' 1973 tour, twice, as they went west then came back east on their tour. I saw them many times in their heyday from April '72 (their first time in the US as an opening act for It's A Beautiful Day) up through the WAW tour. I have seen Steve Hackett solo and with his various bands since that time up to the recent past, in his tour with his brother, John.
