bitflipper Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 The new keyboard stand arrived yesterday. It's nice. Very stable. As I expected considering its price. Here's the new rig, in my cluttered garage / rehearsal space. Yes, that's a plastic chicken in the image. Our singer didn't want to be limited to tambourine and cowbell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice set-up you and hope you get to play out this summer and Covid doesn't surge again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last rehearsal our bass player requested she not use such crude nomenclature on stage, a request that was duly noted with all the respect you'd expect in a democratic enterprise - and then subsequently mocked ruthlessly for the rest of the day. Fortunately, "c***k-hater" did not stick as his new nickname. Poor Steve, he's the new guy. But he's gradually learning that she not only takes pride in her Janis Joplin, she literally channels Ms. Joplin, Southern Comfort and all. 20 hours ago, InstrEd said: hope you get to play out this summer and Covid doesn't surge again We've been playing out pretty regularly since December. Turns out, there are plenty of gigs and a mysterious shortage of bands to play them. At this point, 3 of the 6 of us have had COVID. I have avoided it mainly by being an antisocial curmudgeon. I knew it would pay off someday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitflipper Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Once played with a drummer who used the stage name Buck Futz. I borrowed that name when I needed to populate a test database. My business partner then adapted the test database as a demo database and started using it for product demos at trade shows. We lost a potential sale when a show attendee spotted it on a report and said we she couldn't take us seriously with such a sick sense of humor. I told him that customer would have been trouble anyway. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane_B. Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 A friend of mine was in a punk rock band in NYC called The Vomiteers back in the 90's. He said he doesn't remember a thing about it. And I believe him. He was and still is certifiably nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
