Do I have A Disease? V

Hmm.

Well Alvin came over today to polish up the tracks for our incarnation of the 'classic FGG track' "It's All Joon Kiat's Fault", now officially known as "It's All Murphy's Fault". For those who do not know what this is all about, kindly refer to previous posts.

Anyhow, Alvin and I have been looking for ways to expand our line-up, especially since our areas of capabilities have been stretched thin to the point where Alvin covers piano, banjo, bass, 2nd rhythm guitar, 2nd mandolin, vocals and mixing duties. I, on the other hand, cover lead guitar, rhythm guitar, mandolin, 2nd bass, harmonica, vocals and production duties.

Our choice of additional bassist, 2nd guitarist and drummer have all come from (uncannily) Alvin's church youth group. So much for my love for showmanship. I just hope these guys will have some sense of flexibility when it comes to moving around the stage. No detracting from you guys, but for those who have seen me in action will know what the term 'action' means.

C'mon, you've read my previous posts (and they're almost 100% accurate) that I'm like some wild thing when I'm doing an energetic number. Of course I'm not expecting mayhem and all that jazz, but I dunno... I've noticed that when Alvin plays live he just tends to stick to a certain area, he doesn't move much around.

For myself, I can only say one thing, and that one of the main reasons why I bought that SG is because my old mockingbird prohibited myself from jumping around during a song. I can even play the guitar behind my back now LOL!!! Did I mention I attempted (and successfully accomplished) Angus Young's 'spasm attack' by kicking wildly on the floor mid-solo and completing a full 360 turn before getting up?

Bottom line says this: I hope that if the new guys come in, we will have a level of ESP which enables all of us to be comfortable and thereby become much looser (the only person whom I notice is much more comfortable is the drummer) but still retain the level of musicmanship.

Personally, I still have to work on my duckwalk LOL.


Cheers,
