That's right!
After a 4 year hiatus, my old lead singer called me up outta the blue and informed me that their keyboard dude was moving away and would I like to join up. I went and say a show here on world famous Dickson St and they sounded pretty OK. Not great but good enough. I got my first gig this weekend, I cna't believe it.
I'm gonna be really rusty because about 6 months ago, while building my 1400 sq foot deck, I hit my ring finger, on my fretting hand, with a 22 oz framing hammer(with the waffle end) and split it wide open all the way around and cracked the bone in 2 places and haven't really played since.

It'll come back quickly though....

uhhm...well, yeah.
I'm a guitar player....the band was a 4 piece, guitar, bass, drums, and keys....the keys dood is movin, so I'm gonna take up the slack, as he played most of the leads...so it'll still be a 4 piece, but were gonna look for a new keyboard guy and make it a 5 piece, cuz keys add so much texture and versitility

Aw, buck up. ;)

My bass player once nailed his right hand middle and ring finger together with a nailer the day of our CD release party. As always, the show must go on.

Break a leg.

Any band that trades a keyboard player for a guitar player can't be bad!

LOL Tilt, some drunk chick kept requesting Stranglehold....I could have pulled it off but the band wouldn't agree.

The gig went great, considering I had no rehersals and I haven't played in a lick in 7 months. I have a bad blister on my finger where the scar tissue is. We have another gig Thursday @ The Green Door.

Stranglehold ??
Is that a song or a method of playing??

I like to use the "strangler" method with lots of thumb.
