Re: Keller Williams / jam bands/ rc50

Good stuff David. Esp like the mandolin and guitar piece.

I know a very good cello (and bass) player in the Marin (Fairfax) area who's a good jammer & player in general. Name's Ken. He's very good. (You might know him already... Ken and Theressa?!) I'll see if I can find his email address and forward it to you if you're interested.

What counts is the music, David!  I'm with you.  My criteria for music is, "How long does it hold my attention?"  I don't care if it's recorded on limestone and looped with WIll Rogers lasso.  If it keeps me there then hallelujah!  If not, it's on to the next.  It's only music and the rest is for the 'academics'.  So even though I've been doing music for a very long time, I still see myself as a listener who happens to play & record music.  For a living.  The tool thing can be a real trap - that equipment makers LOVE... and in the world of studios it can be a corn maze that you never get out of.   
Once you hear an audience go wild and have folks come up to you afterward and tell you how much meaning you've brought to their lives you know what it's all about.  The rest is for pundits, professors and Consumer's Reports.
Hear, hear!

I'm pretty satisfied with how my career is going.  I enjoy having audience members step up to look at my feet to figure out how I'm making four guitars happen at once and all that, but I don't care how good you are with the toys and the hot licks - it all begins with a good song.
