No doubt about it---Roy Orbison(spl?)

Finally!!!!      Since the holidays a lot has happened to our newly formed band, one being a name finally chosen, or
  actually just thought up a couple days ago and agreed on.  Some others issues involve loosing our drummer to
  personal issues needing attended to and without any hatred we understand. He will be missed, but still a friend.

  A couple phone calls over a brew at a band meeting and we have not only another drummer showing sat., but
also keyboard/guitar, and a name all in one. Some of us have worked with both in the past so it should work out
fine.

  Simple band name but has some flare to it:   HOTLICK MOJO

  So now we'll put all entries from Chordie in hat and draw as none of the entries were used, not that many were
not good, and thanks for all the input.   I''ll post the winner tomorrow.                 Mike

Done yourself good Russell. I haven't stared at a chessboard in a long time but perhaps at looking at the nice
  board you did may spark my interest again. Never was good at it but like Jim says it helps the mind think
  more clear.

Thanks to all for the nice thoughts. That is exactly what makes this the best place to go on line to talk music and make
  friends! Mom is doing very well, baby also, Dad is still scratching his head I think.:) 

Now I can feel more relaxed and get back to other important subjects. Our bands bass player will return from the
  Netherlands tomorrow, recoup, and we can hit the studio once again this week hopefully. I have my fingers crossed
  that a band name is chosen finally. At this point I don't give a rats... let's move on.:O   BTW, I agree with ya Jim.
  The little guy looks more like Dad than Mom. Sure hope he grows out of that, just kiddin Jason(incase he's spying)
 
  Thanks again, Mike

Thanks Jerry, hope your head isn't hurting too bad. Happy 2012!!

Wishing all a great New Year 2012!!

Hi all, just a quick update- No name chosen as of yet. We are in kindofa lull right now with the holidays. Visiting
  relatives and work has us missing practices and so we are going to regroup soon and get back at it.

Getting close to a name. We are narrowing it down, I HOPE, so may have news soon. Time has not been on our
side I guess. Had to turn down gigs because we don't have enough "solid" material ready. We are booking starting
February for sure. I also wanted to get a clip of a vid we did however my tech savy really sucks and I need help
to get that going. The vid is not a great one as the lighting and such wasn't favorable, but I'll get it on board as time
permits.

Hey Russell--I'm glad we are NOT a punk band.lol    There was a Portland band that went by the name Sweaty
Nipples. Must have been one of those kind.             Mike

Awesome! Many more to come.

You'll astound yourself Crevs once you work on how relevant chords, scales, key signatures are to 'getting it' and then
improvise soloing. You already have great finger dexterity because you are now playing lead, you just need more tools
to be expressive without learning lead parts in a canned sense. Practicing finger patterns up and down the neck that
belong to a certain chord will help a lot. Learn the scales for each open chord. These open chord scales will go far while
soloing. Hope I haven't confused you. There are a lot of ways to learn theory out there. Dive in head first!!     Mike

Thanks for more ideas guys/gals. Sorry Katie-I didn't research it enough as the finger of a woman came up,ring finger,

and I didn't look at other meanings. It fits though, thanks. Funny Zurf, Misty is sewing up a tie died "flowing shirt", similiar

to something Grace Slick would have worn at Woodstock or any hippie chick for that matter.

Ok, " Live Thorny Procrastinators"!           Mike

Oh yes, Foghorn Leghorn ranks up there with Rodney Dangerfield in my book!
