Bass Blog Monday Feb 13.
Spent my time relearning the bluegrass version of Pink Floyd's In The Flesh? ("So ya, thought ya, might like to go to the show, to feel the warm confusion that space cadet glow...") It takes me longer to learn a song by ear than by reading a chart. Why? Well it requires going over certain sections that are unclear to me when listening. Looping each part is the best way to learn an unclear section as repetition is a good way to get the part under your fingers. But it makes sense to check your work as it would suck to loop and learn something the wrong way. I also went over Another Brick in the Wall parts I and II, Fearless and Tangled Hangars (Kimock). Just enough time to get the other stuff in by the time Zell got home. All in preparation for the BCP gig this Saturday at the Blackthorne in SF. YAY!
Saturday the 11th, no time to practice, slept in, had breakfast, drove to Sherry, Weege and Alena's for a little celebration. Alena is one month old and so cute. Came home and crashed, we ate and drank a fair amount. Good stuff.
