...last night's gig went, I 'll just say it was good, but one element was missing. There are a lot of people there, and a lot of people dancing, but I didn't see many familiar faces in the crowd. Where are our "fans" (and friends)? Today, I sent a few emails to friends, teammates, bandmates, etc. Hopefully there will be more familiar faces there tonight. Wish us luck! Tomorrow, I relax.

I hope all the fans and groupies are there tonight. We're going to a concert at 3pm. It's followed by a barbecue so should be fun.

Sounds like fun. Are the days getting pretty "short" there?

@TheHorse Yes, they're shortening up. We won't know ourselves when we get to France and Ireland with their lovely long twilights.

AH, could have been just one of those days, people just busy. Funny how everyone picks up on that, though. Cool we have all these people, but where are the true friends that stick with us no matter what. The world done went and got all fake on us is part of the problem. Whats the next shiny thing. ewe look that is kind of reflecting the sun. Lets go over there. Its hard business to keep people focused.

Is that a Rogue bass? It looks a lot like my first bass. People there and dancing is the ultimate compliment for a gig, bit yes it can be disappointing when friends don't show.

@TheHorse Ok, I couldn't make out the headstock brand. It looks exactly like my first Rogue .I bought it from a friend who got it from Musician Friend.com. It probably came off the same assembly line lol

@ParaTed2k The words "diminishing returns" go through my head often. I bought this thing for less than I'm paid for a gig, and it sounds as good as anything I've heard.

It's a used Ibanez that I got at Guitar Center for something like $135. It does the job.
