Sounds like the band needs a drummer. Count me in. I've been drumming since I was 7 (that's over 20 years to you and me). I also play some piano in the style of Ben Folds, but I will not play the keyboard on the strap like a guitar (the keytar?) for all the groupies in Chicago. As for the guitar discussion, I'm with you phantom, a Fender through a tube amp is the most perfect sound on earth. Especially if tremolo is involved. I usually tell guitarists I know, "Experiment with other stuff all you want, but you always go back to Fender." A drummer! Great! I was afraid we'd wind up with 20 guitar players. Now we need a bass. And yes, my amp has tremolo. The coolest guitar effect ever.

I played trombone for 8 years, so count me in if we do some ska songs. TomServo69 plays horns so now we have a brass section. We're about ready to take it on the road.

We still need a bass player but I guess we can do without one.

With that xylophone and the horns, we can start doing some Zappa covers.
If we can wrangle up a second drummer, we could do some Dead covers, as well. Perhaps Tranq?
I'll get working on the set list.

Hey, I got an excellent drummer and bass player. Only problem is, the drummer is here in Alabama and the bassist is in Texas, but, I guess they could play via satellite. And by the way, they're both Misties who would be here except for that whole lack of Internet thing.
Laaaaatttttttteeeee,
Servo

I play an Ovation acoustic, and I have a Fender telecaster which I love to plug into the Big Muff! It gives muscle to my music.
But if you have too many six string samurai I can offer a few more talents.
I can work the sound board, I have the board and the Mackee power speakers which gives me a clean, powerful noise.
I write songs and sing and play the harmonica too.
Put me in coach!

Hey, I woo, woo, guys...I played bass. Well, back in High School. Jazz band. Oh, and I jammed with friends a bit. As long as they gave me the chords. I'm not a Stanely Clarke or Entwhistle or anything, but I know a few Ramones and Clash songs. Uh, and a few Herb Alpert tunes from that Jazz class. I always wanted to play accordian or organ (Hammond, specifically), but, well, I can do in a pinch... Count me in. I can learn, or relearn....
