Remember that post I wrote when I said I needed a better P.A. system in order for me to form a band? Well today I rehearsed my set for Saturday’s show at the Alcove, using my P.A. and electric guitar amp separately. I found that the microphone on the P.A. is loud enough over the electric guitar even with overdrive effects. I can hear my singing over my electric guitar playing just fine. Yes, it is loud enough for a band. So I’m pretty much all set to get my own band going.

Maybe this summer I will start posting ads in craigslist, CRUMBS, facebook, etc. to look for musicians who are interested in auditioning.

The reason I want to get my own band going so badly, is not only that this is something I always wanted to do, I want to get it going for my fans and the supporters. I do have quite a fan base going with my music, believe it or not. There are musicians around the area who enjoy my music and I’m sure there are plenty of musicians that would want to jam with me.

When I get a band going, will I be the only songwriter in the band? Will I be the one writing all of the stuff? No. Definitely not. I would want everyone to contribute. Each member of the Beatles took turns writing songs, I would probably do the same with my band. Each member can have a hand in writing their own material.

I also won’t discriminate. I don’t care what the band member looks like, if you’re male or female. Doesn’t matter the skin color you are and I wouldn’t even care how old you are. As long as you have the talent, that’s all that matters to me.

I think the Capital District would like it if I had my own band and it should happen whenever the time is right.
