Where's Big Jeff Jones? (Page 15 of 20)

I asked him if he pissed off enough doctors such that they conspired to draw him into their turf to stab him (he said yes!)

If that made him laugh I am sorry if it hurt, not really, but really, but really not really a little.  I know it is the most painful thing to do after surgery there (coughing right up there at top too).  But they say these things are best for recovery.  Hey, wait a minute, they stick you then they talk recovery???  And recovery is worse than whatever was wrong?!  Sadistic lot I tell ya!!!

Shuffle along (leisurely, my orders) on the recovery trail my friend!!!

Played music with my brother Bob night befo last.  Felt good.  We did some blues, some jazz version of Route 66 with some tri-tone substitutions, some funk, and some rock.  We sang hard and played harder. Came outside, and a bunch of neighbors were outside...I thought uh oh! We were NOT that loud.

They were listening and all said "Is that it, man?"  We passed...the audition, I mean.  Just screwing around, havin funn

But the point was how tight we fit.  I can't even explain it.  Too real.

Thanks Rick, I mean I'll play with anybody who has a modicum of talent, but there is something indescribable when there's a fit.  My brother and I play so well together (Blood?) it's like breathing.  He rides right on top, letting me just lay it down; no competing even on the most kickass stuff...even without a drummer.  Power.  He's so good.  I've watched him play with some incredible talents.

He's courteous, waiting on his nod, and his rhythm is so perfectly timed.  We were talking after and I said that's what I'm talking about the difference is.  The difference? Huh? says he...

Your bass man could easily be a better musician than me, training wise; he can sight sing, etc., pick out complex chords, etc...but he can't drive like I do.  It's just a pushing thing    sounds like I'm bragging but I'm really not.  I'm rusty as hell, but I do, I still got it.

He looked at me and started shaking his head.  What? I almost yelled.  He said this whole county is a graveyard for musicos with any talent.  If you were in a town with real musicians, he said, you'd have so much work...sweet to hear.  I felt better cause things don't work out for me the way I hope, so often here.  I don't fit. and I really do wonder if it's me sometimes.

Jungle Jim says they're afraid of me.  Nah, says I, they just don't wanna play blues, blues/rock or anything that requires dynamics or practice or *GASP* harmonies.  It's full scale frontal assault at volume 10 or nothing even behind the vocals.

Probably sounds like I'm is ranting, nah.  I'm gonna ease back into it.  Coupla towns over there is a club run by "2 Blues Broads", where I've been invited to the blues jam.  OKAY THEN!

Yeah, where ya bin BJJ.

Only just caught up on this thread for the first time in weeks. Funny 'cos it is the most successful thread I ever started.....15 Pages already.........and it was just a quickie to enquire about YOU!

Makes me kinda pride...sorta........

Anyways catching up on your and RickB's posts about neighbours listening in, I had the same experience in early July. Formed this loose band this called "The Brothers with other Mothers". Its an acoustic/unplugged thing. For lack of a better alternative we rehearsed in my apartment. Was a warm night, windows open and we ran through what we had to that point.

My girlfriend had moved into the dining room to leave us free. It was she who noticed a group of young people from the evening driving school theory class had moved from around the corner to the street below us.

Was a cool feeling.

Looking forward to hearing your news soon.

Downtown New Smyrna seemed to have quite a few live music bars/restaurants last time I was there...that's a really nice area.

great looking place BJJ, they don't build houses like that any more. Glad you are settled in and back online here, keep us posted.
