I have decided that in order to realistically represent a guitar player in my show, I must stop to simulate tuning up between every song. It's pretty easy using the pitch wheel.
Seriously, it should be a criminal offense to sell a guitar without a built-in digital tuner.

You really engaged a guitar player? Now you're no longer a one-man-band, aren't you?

I think the winner is the music because I believe that playing with other musicians makes much more fun. So, the music should be getting some more fiery (fierier?)...and at this point english left my mind...
I hope you know what I meant...

Wish you a lot of fun while playing with a guitar player. And I also wish you succeeding gigs...

Agreed! Remember the old days when you would tune with a pitch pipe?

(no offense meant to anybody that still tunes with a pitch pipe)

No Sheriff, I just worked one job with a guitar player, which I do occasionally. While I do miss the interacation with other players sometimes, I am more happy as a single. Plus I get to keep all the money.

P.S. Do you perform "I Shot The Sheriff"?

Yes, I realized it...
Believe me, I'm a joker with the heart of a lion. I've heard Don's joke so many times before that I had more than enough chances to think about a good answer...and I thought this was a good reaction...
Bang in my head and I'm banging back...hey, Tony, don't forget, I'm the Sheriff...I have the licence to shoot back!!!

P.S.: And my munitions are jokes!!!

Tony,

I wouldn't say Don was one witty man. I'd say he's 50 percent of that.

Might be another week for the music. It's being sync'd to video for our new web page. I may have some more pics before then, much better than the one's my better half was able to get. I did add one more earlier tonight.

One advantage you have as the arranger keyboard player in a band is that you are the only indispensable member. If someone else doesn't show up, u can just unmute the track, lol.
Seriously though, I've heard some pro touring bands, Dave Matthews comes to mind, have the whole set on WAV files and if someone is sick or has a problem they just stick someone in there and he sync/plays to the WAV file.
Just don't try it on Saturday Night Live!
