Played Oktoberfest this weekend, had a blast! Really fun, people were really drunk and there were a few girls that were so wasted and out of hand we had security come over and tell them to shut their traps or leave! Hahaha, being harrased by a bunch of super drunk 26yr olds. (Play something good! Play something we can dance too!) What, Rod Stewart DO YOU THINK IM SEXY did not cover those two requirements? Hah! I just regret that with 70 breweries having attended, when we got done playing they started shutting everything down.
I have been feeling really great about my playing lately, I have been able to practice and play a bunch of gigs so I feel that I am getting back into a good groove. Also, checked out some tracks me, Brad Gibson and Devin Lowe did in the studio and they sound great.
I have been working out of and really studying the Charlie Parker Omnibook (book full of Charlie Parker tunes and solo's) I have made it through the first few songs in the book, really learning them. They were mostly tunes that I already knew, so I was mostly spending time ripping licks and learning the solo's. Now I am on to Dewey Square - I love this tune, I am working on figuring out the whole tune in drop 2 voicings [for the piano nerds out there!]
Now, to continue down the ever long list of things that need to get done!
I am listening to some tracks of the secret DMQ band for Halloween --- this is gonna be great, really really epic.
Cheers,
Mack
