Life
Alright - so it’s been a little while… Now that I’ve brought the funk.. I suppose I may as well do the blog.
The SmartSound job finally started a couple weeks ago, and it’s been good. Unfortunately, I’m only part time - 30 hrs a week - but the upside is I’m still making more $$ than I did at fulltime (and extensive travel) with Stiletto.
What this means to me now is that I can start a band again! I’ve made some headway, and intend on a Soul/Funk/Blues sort of situation. I am planning a variety of audition jam next Sunday and I may wind up with a corps of bass players to choose from, which will be damn cool and almost unheard of. Strangely, I haven’t really found a guitarist who’s interested. A lot of singers seem to be down with the idea too…
At this stage, the instrumentation will look about like this:
Vocals
Horns (Section most likely)
Organ/Synths
Guitar (assuming I find a good one)
Bass
Drums - which will be played by me.
Percussion
I’m very hopeful right now, plus everything else seems to be working out reasonably well.
