Shonks

since 1/3 of my trio (Palmgrease) retired to Ireland recently I've decided I want to put a duo together. I need a jazz guitarist that can happily knock out tunes from the real book, play some Charlie Parker heads in unison with me on bass - impress the audience (as if). Perform favorites like Autumn Leaves, All the things you are,other well know standards. Some sambas, some bossa : One Note Samba, Ipanema etc We'd be sharing solos, swapping fours lot of improv and thoroughly enjoying ourselves Two players means all kinds of gigs would be available, that regular bands couldn't do. Small bars, restaurants, even old folk homes. It would be a great way to advance your playing skills & repertoire. So.....If you know anyone who might like to get involved please put them in touch. only guitarists between the ages of 18 to 95 need apply (give or take) Shonks Live Palmgrease trio at the bottom of the page on this link: https://soundcloud.com/palmgrease

cant find any feedback for Mike so allow me to be the 1st: i put up a post in 'Wanted' for some black tape wounds' and Mike offered some up. He let me know, agreed a price, I paypaled him with a friends and family gift and two days later they're are on my bass and I'm a happy plonker. Easy deal, ..lovely Shonks

I just bought Will's Markbass Compressore from the BC marketplace. We don't know each other, & live at opposite ends of the UK but as usual this site instills a camaraderie and trust in one another that so far has always been a positive experience. After many years hanging here and buying and selling stuff on BC I've had nothing but great deals and met some great pals. I'm now recommending 2x18 (Will) as a cool and trustworthy bloke. Great pedal, good price, sent quickly, instant coms. Buy and sell anything with him, you're going to be happy!!

64 this October.....like in that Beatles tune........who'da thought here's some bass featured tunes posted...and lower down is my jazz trio [url="https://soundcloud.com/palmgrease"]https://soundcloud.com/palmgrease[/url]

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1487905723' post='3244076'] The gigs keep coming in and I keep my mouth shut. Blue [/quote]as long as the gigs are coming in...this is probably the most important advice of all...!!!

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1487668216' post='3241578'] You can't seriously be suggesting that there are gigging musicians who don't know 'Happy Birthday' ? Or are you ?.... Lordy, I hope you are jesting. Edit: Don't forget your Rubbers !!! [/quote]not suggesting or jesting ( unfortunately ), stating my experience over the last several years

[quote name='Len_derby' timestamp='1487416696' post='3239617'] Be able to play 'Happy Birthday to you', in any key, at the drop of a hat. [/quote]blimey, i forgot about this one...the amount of times I've had to play it on my own....OMG
