Ta Robert, yes it was great fun. We got a good response from the crowd despite playing some decidedly weird music that was quite different from the ska-oriented other acts on the bill.Originally Posted by Robert
And despite the fact that we did this show on exactly one practice, there were no train wrecks or even particularly noticeable gaffes. There is one song which only consists of two chords, completely instrumental, called "Mothra Explains the Blues." During a large portion of it Bill plays some little electronic device that makes bleeps and bloops, which had been the whole content of the song originally. During the rehearsal for the show he cued me to solo during the latter portion of the song, which was a new addition to the arrangement, but I was not sure if he was going to want me to do that at the actual show, or was just mucking about. Anyhow, at the show he did, and I did, and I was very happy with the result, and we got a lot good audience response with it, so maybe that'll be the arrangement from now on, since it seemed to work.
