Hello fellow fretters.

I have bit of news on my musical path. A couple of weeks ago I found a CL ad looking for a bass player and was impressed by their web-page and music. So I sent in my reply hoping to get an audition.

I soon got a reply from the dummer and set up an audition.

Long story short, I brought my in my fretless and played a few of their songs with them. We seemd to click pretty well and they had good beer.

After they completed auditions for some other bassists, they wrote back that they loved my playing and wanted me to join.

I gladly accepted.

They play quite a variety of blues, rock, folk-rock(?) and generally grooving music which really appeals to me.

The website is www.themediocresband.com

The drummer sent me an e-mail today suggesting a bass solo in the set. I'm rather ambivalent about that because it could be fun or it could be a lot of boredom for the audience. I'll have to stew that one over a bit.

I thought the band name was a bit funny.

If it doesn't snow too much here, we'll have our first full practice on Thursday.
