Thanks for the response. I apologize for the Drummer mix up. I have a good amount of respect for musicians --- not everybody is cut out for doing it. I have an early 1970's Epiphone bass in the corner in its case gathering dust. Any friction with Mars Yet?
Actually I frequently plate up desserts and share the same room with the muscians on their break because they usually don't play while the party is eating dinner (the course before mine). I think however they can be a really wierd eclectic bunch of people sometimes though they discuss and do the strangest things.
Being so close to LA I am always amazed that many times these guys are session players and dont even know the other guys they are playing with and they are introducing themselves to each other during the break as they are scarfing down some food that is provided for them, usually they eat quite well.
A couple of weeks ago there was a band, a quartet / quintet of acapella gospel singers, and a DJ walking around at this wedding. (Show me the money ka-ching ka-ching). Some of them were eyeballing my spice cake that I was plating up too, and I had to tell them they couldn't have any. I was off on the saturday a while ago that a cake artist made a wedding cake that looked like a Piano and drove it down to us from San Francisco. Kenny G was the Grooms best man and jammed - but I probably did not miss too much there.
Howard I think you might have a keeper with Gerlie. Any woman will stand behind / beside you like that and back you up,and even write about it is worth her grain of salt. Though barking spiders and dust frog Humor is not usually my cup of tea.
I can't wait to meet my Thai friend on Sept 10 th in LA she has a similar style of no holds barred -- verbally expressing herself. I asked her to postone our meeting 1 hour later since I have Japanese class in the morning and then have to drive down to LA. she made me laugh when she said no problem, I'll be the one with the short hair and big chest and my cousin is the good looking one. she's got a boyfriend and the cousins married but it should be interesting anyhow. The girls might get rowdy and rambunctious during their get together reunion. because as we all know --- when the cats are away the mice will play ha ha ha.
Finally you should have a song on your demo called KEEP THE FAITH after the saga and turmoil and pot of gold at the end of the rainbow you've experienced in the last 2 years. Or is that too close to Billy Joels song for your comfort level?
Windy the Zipping Zephyr ha ha ha (only when alone)
