MAB,
Man that was a phenomenal answer. What a wealth of knowledge... you never cease to amaze. I swear sometimes your mind is an encyclopedia of musical history. Thanks for taking the time to explain it. As you know I learned form you to be a student of "crowd study" and often feel sorry observing seasoned performers sitting next to a someoe maybe a bit greener wanting to play out and they are still singing the same song as the waiters/waitresses are beginning to clean up and closing out tabs... Sometimes people wear there frustraition on their faces on the stool next to them, some conceal it better than others, thanks for the info.
Meh,
You are spot on, that's a problem of mine, I'm Texan, I talk slow,I sing slow, one I recorded yesterday that begged my original question to MAB I kept my usual lane in the verses and did tried to kick up the speed a bit through the chorus, it came out to 3:47 so I'm fine with it... The kids work schedule is so much different now, poor Makenzie got strep throat and I was getting ready for bed at 9:45pm I was called out on a major water line break under a major road in town by 11pm I was literally up to my shirt collar at my neck in muddy water feeling blind for a busted poly pipe to put a squeeze off on. I clocked out at 2:30am and was in bed by 4am had to wake up at 5:40am and take just Bryson to preschool... back to work at 7am this morning!!!!
Our city is having our First Annual Tomball Music Festival this Saturday, pretty neat feeling as I have written now with all the acts on the lineup but one guy, which oddly enough is best friends with my supervisor now, camping buddies with a co-worker, so I won't have to "gherm" lol so hopefully an appt. will come in the near future with him!!!! LOL Gonna be fun bringing the whole family it's running from 10:30am - 8pm or later... a few thousand folks are expected to pass through, throughout the course of the day, got sent all access Bud Light passes courtesy of one band they were able to get me so I'll get to take the kiddos backstage to hang out with the bands and artists stuff, so I'm looking forward to a great time, gonna be great to have Katie out there too!!! Always fun having her see what I do at my "other job" the one that pays nothing. hahahahah but I love it!!!
the kids out... God Bless
