Band rehearsals

So... I just got the band together. Some simple replies to an online ad but the response has been positive. You must read how people respond to see if they are serious. Hay I'm putting a lot of cash up front to make the band happen. There is nothing worse than someone responding to a band ad and then bailing out when it’s time to meet and jam. It happens a lot or it’s been my experience in New Hampshire where people respond to my ad then it comes time to produce, and they disappear. Either show up or shut up, plain and simple. I’m in Boston now and the mood has changed. Hoping the members stay with the band. Their response to the ad is very positive. Simple response but I can tell they are serious about joining. Rehearsals start next week on Saturday February 10, 2024. I am moving my gear in this weekend. Audio gear and amps. EAW monitors, Klark Teknik analog sound gear, Fender Twin and an old Bassman head for guitar or bass with a 2x12 cab. I think it’s a 1974. My Twin is a 1973 with a master volume. Master volumes are important and a necessity. You can’t have a 100-watt amp in a room and produce the tones you want on volume 2. It needs to be cranked a bit and turned down on the outlet volume. That’s just how most amps work. Or older amps work, today it’s a bit different. There is just no beating an old Marshall or Fender or Mesa. I was hoping to have band together by last spring, but it didn’t happen for a variety of reasons. You know, you plan things, but they come out different every time. To keep pushing forward is the key to the door. Just keep pushing forward as resistance settles in. Like a lineman on a football team, just push mother effer!!! Recently I was remembering my football days, and I enjoyed those days. I played defensive end and loved that position. You did not run my side because I had you in my sights. Never take your eye off the football, never. And always tackle at the legs. It hurts but they go down, every time. And when he's down you tell him "YOU DON"T RUN MY SIDE BITCH." You make sure he remembers you. Look right at him. Today I won’t give up guitar because I gave up football and wish I never did.
