Hi my friend....A New track is up on my player now. It is Raw and Rockin' and It's called "Dance with the Gypsy"...All Bass sounds were performed on my Spector Euro 5LX Custom Fretless Bass and my Boss processor for the "Chainsaw" rythm sound. There are no loops or overdubs and the Bass tracks were done in one take each.... Yeah it's RAW indeed my friend. Please check it out when you have time and leave a comment if you can. Sending Peace, Love and Respect always,from ya BISCUIT.
hey, thought about your blog on NO FILLS yesterday--made the mistake of going into Guitar Centre on the night of the GC Drum Off. Give a drummer 3 minutes to blow his/her load. The one who blows the most wins. Be afraid.
Hey Brad, I thought I'd let you know that I found out this morning that Mr. Head, the chemistry teacher from Hillcrest, passed away yesterday. I don't remember if you had him as a teacher but I know he was definitely there when we were both students. Hope all is well.Take care.
