duderonomy Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 So you'd rather the ladies were on top? It's not what I'd rather, or even what I'd want. I'm in this for the sake of the band as long as the rest of you guys are. I'll even stand at the back of the stage in the drummer's spot and set my drum machine and play my guitar from there while you ladies sing until we can afford to hire a real drummer if that's what it takes to get this band going. I hope you can tell that I'm serious about that, I mean if that's what it comes to. I have no ego when it comes to this music stuff, but we have to make decision soon, the four of us. Are we a band, with or without a name? Others will come along, find this thread and either declare themselves "in" or assume they are, or something. Can we set some rules, if we are a band? Should we just let anyone in, or should we be very selective about who joins us? Jesus, politics, I know, but is it all about the music or is all about making every person that lays a claim to the four of us legitimate because they have a musical talent?

Daffodil Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Well, I guess now would be the time to confess that I haven't actually touched a cello in about 22 years and I don't even own one now, so I'm going to need some time to redevelop the calluses and stuff.

Daffodil Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 BTW, yunea isn't even on our continent and none of us live in the same state. How, exactly, are we going to do this? Sorry, but my anal retentiveness kicks in when things get serious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you're going to need some time to adjust to how expensive cellos are now, IMHO. The calluses come from paying for it. You in or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Margee Posted May 25, 2016 Moderator Share Posted May 25, 2016 ''I Shot the Sheriff'' ''.... I Got the Spirit! Margee... no. NO. HELL NO. Please tell me you just made that up. No, I didn't make this up! I did it. I converted the song over to a complete gospel blues version of it and the guys were fantastic. The main lead guitar player was as good as Carlos Santana and he even looked like him. (I had a big crush on him ) As you know, Carlos Santana is my idol. So we re-made the song over. Did a lot of Eric Clapton stuff. We had the church turned into an emotional frenzy!! They loved it. I have a recording of this with me on stage singing it and if I can find it, I will post it. It was one of the best times in my life. I was one of the lead singers. The band made me sound good like I was a professional blues singer!!

Moderator Margee Posted May 25, 2016 Moderator Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hmm, I agree. Where's yunea and Margee? We need more ideas. ''The Outcasts', ''the Rebels''?

I nominate Margee for lead singer. We need one singer who can hit really high notes like the guy in 'The Stylistics''. I got a real low voice. Actually I sound like a guy. I've been told in drive-through s, ''Thanks you sir - drive through''....... Maybe florduh can be the high singer..I heard his voice before cause I met him in person.....he sounds like a girl......
