Interesting turn of events
I've described how I am part of a duo group here in ABQ. Because we have been around for a while, we get to meet and know quite a few other musicians. One group I have known for a long time. They are a trio who have played with 4, sometimes 5, players. Odd, given the TRIO is in the band name. Well, they broke up about 6 weeks ago. The band leader contacted me yesterday and asked about joining us and we joining him for a new effort, probably staying as The Adjacents. He and I are of a certain age, translate as OLD. My bandmate is not nearly our age. She is not 20-something, but certainly not on our side of the hill. He is acoustic but intrigued by our typical set list. I know his sets well enough (not to play, yet) but I could adapt despite my distance from acoustic. Has anyone ever split up a band and then wanted to join up with another outfit? Or on the other side, have you been approached by an established muso to join you? I am looking for pitfalls, problems, benefits, advantages. He's a good guy, I think would be a good bandmate to us. This is all new to Steph and me. Thanks.

Musician Jokes
B.B.King is buried in a museum to his legacy, and on the gravestone is inscribed: "Well ... I didn't wake up this mornin' ".

Lyrics n memory
I want to hear from players who DONT use Ipads while gigging or busking. How do you remember words and the order of verses without muddling them up? Is it a connection you have to the song? is it the story in the song you remember? What mental tricks do you use to remember lyrics? I'm fkn terrible 😆

Heading to a Jam session for the afternoon. Not taking guitar, just spectating. Never actually been to one so I'm keen to see how its set up n functions. What are people's experiences with them? Whats your good, bad n ugly stories?

@Martin Creathorn oooph!, songs that haunt. My pet song hate is Eagle Rock by DaddyCool. A friend of a friend used to sing it ( i use that term very loosely here) at karaoke. He'd 'sing' it every time just as badly as he did the time before n the time before that (consistent at least) He had no rythm, no sence of melody n no clue. Aaaaand he thought he was great. 😒 Gave himself a stage name n everything. This was about 20 years ago n to this day I can not listen to that song

I love playing but never been a performer. Struggle with that.
Never keen on being the centre of attention n look like a dear in the headlights.
