- I couldn't agree more...When I lived in L.A. - you had to do everything to make it. My rent was $1550 for a one bedroom in the desert just north of the city....It was nice, but not $1550 nice! I wish somedays that I could say no to the "function" rock/jazz band that calls, but it really does pay the bills, and I find that the more I open my mind to it, the more I am able to get "into" what is going on... I have had a blast playing the classical stuff...I play with a brass quintet for things, and WE SUCK!!!
i.e. - bunch of jazz dudes trying not to swing Gabrielli ( God I can't spell!!)
anyway I did a gig the other night with a band and ended up singing a couple of rock tunes....I used to sing for a living back in the day, and doing that ended up getting me the gig long term with this new group....The things that will help you get by!!!
anyway back to Stamp, the elusive dubba Bb, trying to figure out how the heck to play triad pairs of every song I know and fighting off the cat my girlfriend thinks is "really cute"
Peace
