Interesting band practice tonight: our bassist is out of town, so I filled in, playing an additional keyboard part on some songs and just playing bass on others. It was a lot of fun – the extra pressure concentrated my attention, and I think I actually played a little better than usual. We also ended up with a simpler, more open sound, which was really nice: we’re not normally very good at laying back and giving each other space. Definitely something to work on. It’s also just plain fun to rock out on a bass.
Wish I could hear you play some time. I like bass best, but after listening to Steve for almost 25 years now, I am liking just regular guitar better. I’m remembering you as being a good keyboard player as well. If by some miracle you were to come our way, maybe you could jam with my husband’s band.
