why not?

Tonight I'm playing bass with Andrew Peterson at a show here in Nashville. Should be fun. I'm a terrible bass player, but I badly want to be a good one. I think it's such a cool instrument.
We finished our 24 marathon last night, so now we just have to watch this past Monday's episode, which Clay taped for us, and we'll have seen them all. How pathetic. I have been way too late the past few nights working on the new Caedmon's record, adding guitars and even a bass part, since Jeff is still in even-newer-dad-than-me mode. That was pretty fun. He'll probably replace it before the record comes out, but who knows?
The new PedalTrain pedal boards got in today, and I'm going to go pick one up tomorrow or the next day. I have two different set-ups, the big one for tour shows and records, and the little(r) one for fly dates and little shows around town with whoever. The sad part is, my little one is probably bigger than most people's regular ones, and my big is about to become two seperate halves from TMCases. Anyway, I was hoping to be able to use the new PedalTrain tonight, but I won't have time to get it ready. My big board is the only one functional at this point, and it's just so heavy and I can't wait to get rid of it. It weighs like 90 pounds or something. Maybe I'll just bring a few random pedals and see what happens. That could be fun. It's all about limits. Give yourself some random parameters and see what happens that wouldn't have happened otherwise. Well, I should probably go and grab some junk to throw in the car then, I think sound check started an hour ago.

This last 24 episode was quite good. Andy, any thoughts on the title of the new caedmon's cd?
I just picked the bass up again myself. The way I see it, the funkier I get with my riffs, the less everyone can tell that I'm terrible.
By the way, I've got a question. If I were to do some recording on a demo record of sorts this summer, would you check it out if I sent it to you?
Andy Osenga is the greatest bass player of all time.
(Seriously, thanks for playing with me tonight. I had a ball.)
AP, man, don't make God strike down this Weblog with lightning! ;)
I'm glad two good musicians and friends could have a fun time making music. I wish I'd been able to sneak away from here and come up.
So how'd it go? When can we expect an Andy and Andy tour to hit the great state of North Cackalacky?
I'm new here, just wanted to say hello.
Hope you are having a woderful day!
dude, i've seen you play bass and you've got skills! if only you had nunchuck skills, then you'd be AWESOME. and 24 is kicking butt this season, are you still watching alias? very good as well.
rwalter - sure, man. Let me know when it's done.
Lee - AP and I will probably make it out there again soon. We tend to find ourselves out there fairly often these days. Also, keep it hush, but Andy P, Andy Gullahorn and I are starting a new band called "Andy and the Andies". We will be the greatest band of all time. Ben Shive wants to be our drummer. Need I say more?
I think my brain just folded in on itself. :lol:
"Andy and the Andies"...that just makes me smile...and giggle. :D
