Remember Spud the potato goes in the front,heck now that I think about it with a name like Spud you can get away with it.I can see it now when the band takes a break and some cowgirl comes up to you and says,what's your name and you answer Spud,she'll say you sure are.:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: Sumi:D
 
Depending on the night and what the set list is I suppose potatoes could go in the front...and back.

I'll bet we'd get more gigs if I added potatoes.

Nothing more country than potatoes.. but really, its pretty cool to play with other people, country or not. :)
 
I went out tonight to hear the band in action. Wow! The guitar player is really hot. He toured with the Bellamy Brothers and lived many years in Nashville and it shows. He's got licks up the wazoo.

The female singer...to say it nicely... Adolescent Idol (except she's 40). Good at backups but not a lead singer.

It's going to be tough to keep my mouth shut during gigs, but I'm professional right? Please tell me I am so that I wont get myself into trouble.
 
OK......keep your yap shut and just do what you're PAID to do. :D Now, once you've earned some cred with the band members, then maybe you can voice an opinion on stuff that you're ASKED about.

I don't know the circumstance of how you came to join the band......but unless they sought you out specifically, I'd keep quiet. :D

At least the guitarist is really good......or you'd really be chomping at the bit. :D

If you ever need a new/better female singer........there's that gal down in Waco that can carry a tune or three. :bravo:
 
Spud, do you have any pics of the singer?

Anyways, what really matters is the playing aspect of it, I'm going to volunteer next week for the local parish's quoir, and I'm atheist, I just need some stuff to practice on double bass (I'd use it in my ska band, but you can't do a tapping solo in this thing), and the priest is really just glad I'm helping, we frequently talk about philosphy and he's really a great guy, so am I necessarily selling my soul? You're doing this professionally, so I really don't think you are selling out or anything, I mean, let's face it, any money is good money, you gotta keep you're mouth full, and if you really enjoy it, all the better eh? Just keep talking to them, and see if you can write a few tunes with a bit of you're playing in it, who knows, you guys may even sound better!

Yeah, but you know what those things are. I don't ;).
 
Spud,
I'm familiar with a lot of country ats on the road and there are some out there that have a girl singer that can't really sing, but Daddy has BIG BUCKS, so you play for her or go home. There are a couple of big names in the Nashville act that in person or on live TV suck real bad at singing(AS SEEN IN RECENT TV AWARD SHOWS). We have several artist in this area that can sing circles around the big Nashville acts.
Just get in the band and show them your playing(potatoes optional) and maybe someone will say hey give this guy a full-time spot and listen up because he has experience.
No you don't have to dress like Trace Adkins but it won't hurt either.
 
Well, when I played in a bluegrass band, I was mostly playing music that not only had I never heard before, but I wouldn't listen to regularly. But you know what? I had a blast. Bluegrass bass playing is about as straight-forward as it gets. I could ham it up a bit and work the crowd which made it even better. One of my classmates gave me a great compliment (although I don't think he intended it as such). He and others assumed that someone else behind the curtain was playing bass and I was just mugging. Nope, I could play and have fun at the same time!

Having said that, I would have killed to be in a metal band. But some playing was better than no playing and I got to play with some of my best friends to boot. Everybody else wore cowboy hats--I wore my ubiquitous Detroit Tigers cap.
 
I will tell you SPUD, that little ole ladies can love music too and I'm sure that to her you are just like a teen age idol.
There I hope that makes you feel better about it. Just imagine what a kiss on the forehead would do for her.:rotflmao:
