Got a chance to play electric bass at a local music festival last weekend with about 2000+ addendees. Loads of fun! I'm the guy with the Bass pointed the wrong way...

Perry, could you move over just a bit so we can see, I mean, hear the keyboards players better? :>

That is one unique looking telecaster the guitar player is pickin' on. Do you know anything about it?

BTW - Don't some folks call that "silly handed" instead of "left handed"?;-)

Great call, Kent. I couldn't "see/hear" them like I wanted to either. Perry, can you turn the keyboards up to 11 please? 😉

Show off. Playing the bass backwards.

Looks like a lot of fun. What kind of music were y'all playing?

who doesn't love some hippy blue grass girls?? Looks like a lot of fun.

And shouldn't he be all the way to the other side of the stage?? I can't tell you how many time my bass player whacked me in the head while I was drumming!

Either way, it's just not right.

Shouldn't that read:

"And shouldn't he be all the way to the other side of the stage?? I can't tell you how many time my bass player whacked me in the head BECAUSE I was drumming!"

😛

That's great. Now I'm going to go through the rest of the day with the Grateful Dead's 'Playing in the Band' playing in my head.

Some folks trust to reason
Others trust to might
I don't trust to nothing
But I know it come out right

Say it once again now
Oh I hope you understand
When it's done and over
Lord, a man is just a man

Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land

Some folks look for answers
Others look for fights
Some folks up in treetops
Just look to see the sights

I can tell your future
Look what's in your hand
But I can't stop for nothing
I'm just playing in the band

Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land

Standing on a tower
World at my command
You just keep a turning
While I'm playing in the band

If a man among you
Got no sin upon his hand
Let him cast a stone at me
For playing in the band

Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak Daybreak on the land

Lesh Philling

Great. Now they sound like Donna instead of Joni Mitchell and Gillian Welch.
Thanks for that Williwaw. Remind me to reset the HI next time I pass one of your pods set up along the road...:-P

Not Bluegrass

No bluegrass with this band or I would be using an upright and would have to shoot the drummer.

We played some original music written by the two ladies, and a couple blues tunes, plus some Wilco & Billy Bragg and topped of the set with Ripple by the Dead (it was the Jerry Jam). We also played a Dillon Tune called Moonshiner. We actually played on 3 different days, each with a different set. The music that the girls wrote is sort of an Annie DiFrance/10,000 maniacs type feel.

Heavens No! But if it was, I'm sure it was medicinal.
