UnUrban With Ileana
Posted on September 25, 2010 with 1 comment
Played UnUrban with Ileana & the band tonight. It was probably 100 degrees in there but I didn't care. It was SO much fun to play with a full band: Ileana (guitar/vox), Tim (bass), & Cheryl (drums) again.
These days I do mostly solos and duos, which I like, but there's something about getting up there with the drums and bass that makes everything better... when it's ON...
I need to get a band of my own one of these days. I talk about it alot. When I lived on the East Coast for a while there was never a time that I didn't have my own band. A band that either I created from scratch, inherited, or overhauled myself to become my own. Maybe I'm trying to regain past glories, maybe I just want what I don't have, or maybe my memory is faulty. Whatever the case, I think I'll start sniffing around for a good solid drummer who can also play as a duo with me. Start at the drums and build...
Anyhow, after the short Ileana set there was a long pause... I asked Steve Narahara if someone was playing and he said he'd had a cancellation for slot #2. So I took it. I pulled out “Question” for one of Ileana's fans, “Missing You Blue”, “Message In A Bottle”, Patrick requested “Melancholy Moon” and “Wisteria”, and I capped it with Ileana on “Should I Walk By Again”. It all went just about perfectly. I was hot but I was happy!
Thanks Steve N!
