It's that time again, a time when we get together and share our work, talk about performing, talk about practice, ask questions, and see if we can push ourselves to new levels of enjoyment. The most important thing is that we enjoy ourselves.
Some of us play for fun. Some of us are professionals. Some of us play with our friends. Some of us are just learning. Some of us don't even really play at all. It doesn't matter, we want to hear you play as well as you can - or just play.
I don't care if you play a kazoo - I want to hear it and, if history is any guide, the rest of the folks who frequent this thread also want to hear it. So, no matter what you play, come share it with us. If we like the song, we'll sing along when we all get to the chorus!
Grab your guitar and your cell phone - and play us a song. Sing for us! Play a piano. Make electronic music. Play a kazoo, blow a trumpet, bang a xylophone! We don't mind - we want to hear all of it, not just guitar.

The young ladies say you're all pretty boring tonight. LOL
I'm not sure I've heard Voat called boring before.

You can all listen to a bunch of drunks try to play a song that they dont really know how to play. Motel Kalifornia
TheBuddha ago
Listening now. I do believe I've heard this one before?
Hmm... Have you heard the band do this?
She's just singing something. Does not appear to care what the words are, or even if it's a song. She could possibly have a nice voice. She could also be eating the mic, I'm not sure.
Ah, there goes Chris. The drummer quit. The lyrics just quit, as well.
Yup, there was some booze consumed that night!
The dog knows the lyrics better than the people.
That timing is horrible! ;-) I like how Chris just says fuck it and gets raunchy with it.
Hmm... The bass player (probably you) just kinda keeps playing something. Why not?
LOL I've renamed your cover "Cotel Halifornia."
crazy_eyes ago
Yeah, I have heard your band do this one, you guys do it great! And yeah I was playing bass, just trying to keep it going somehow. I dont really know how to play this one. maybe i should learn it. I was just winging it

Yep, you need to hear that version. I may prefer it over the regular version. At least it's a version you haven't heard still everyday on the radio. His guitar part stands out a little more and seems a little more complex. And yes, my mother is one of his oldest fans. Of course the classical and softer ones, but even a few light rockers. Two of my daughters, and both have guitar-playing husbands, also want to hear the new ones as he, and EH, posts them. We're a southern fan club mini-chapter.

We tried a really special version, but the audience didn't really recognize it at first and then didn't really appreciate it that much. I have a rough studio copy, if you want to hear that via PM?
LOL COF's mom likes it!
crazy_eyes ago
Hell yeah! I would love to hear it!
TheBuddha ago
You have a PM. No need to respond to it, unless you feel compelled to do so. Don't need compliments. I know we're good. ;-)
50 years, crazy! I've been playing guitar for 50 years now! (I'm pretty excited to be able to say that. It has been a whole lot of practice for a whole lot of years.)

Where the hell is everyone?
TheBuddha ago
COF says they're on vacation. I dropped an older track AND a new track that is old but you've never heard it before.
cynicaloldfart ago
Tell them everybody's on vacation.
TheBuddha ago
They think only they are entitled to vacations. In their defense, they have been working hard. EH truly impresses me with her work ethic.

...she was only waiting for this moment to arise.
She's already a legend!
TheBuddha ago
And she tells me to add, "It's okay! My butt is still bigger than my head!"
She found this uproariously funny. I suspect that's the wine.
cynicaloldfart ago
Went over my head. May be time for 'last call'.
TheBuddha ago
You said she was already a legend. I said something (didn't type it out) about her head getting too big. Thus her reply that her head was still smaller than her butt, which she found quite amusing. Tonight, she's allowed to have her fill. There's nobody here, it's still festive, and she's on vacation. We're still celebrating the holidays.
Hell, I'm gonna send J for another bottle in a minute. In about an hour, I suspect I'll head to the tablet and a prone position. Maybe sooner.
cynicaloldfart ago
Carefully and slowly please.
TheBuddha ago
But of course.
"We promise we'll get him up the stairs safely!" Followed by a stiffled giggle. I've only had a few glasses and my chug straight from the bottle.
I'm saving my bad decision making for Sunday, after my daughter leaves!
cynicaloldfart ago
I give up
I don't care (your suggestion).
;-)
TheBuddha ago
Pffft... I don't believe you!
TheBuddha ago
LOL In a decade or two, she'll be truly good! ;-)
