Bass and Vocals seem like the most un-complimentary parts of a composition, following completely different phrasing. Anyone who can do both parts with any competency is really impressive to me.

I've got a few projects going this summer.

1) A "hospital band" of ER nurses, a PACU nurse, and a Pharmacy Manager. Branching out from our normal "end of summer music party & potluck" to do a big outdoor Health Fair at the Astoria Regatta & Land Parade. As an example of the vocal talent, will be doing "You Go Down Smooth" and "Suite Judy Blue Eyes." Guitar showcases, "Sultans of Swing," "Black Magic Woman," "Comfortably Numb." A lot of bluegrass/blues featuring vocal harmonies. "Crazy little Thing Called Love." "Runaway" --the Bonnie Raitt version.

2) A Surf Rock gig with local heavy hitters, "Telstar," "Pipeline," "Walk Don't Run" and such. "Sleepwalk." Also "Green Onions" and "Secret Agent Man." Will be doing a Limbo contest. Between two surf rock sets, a set of Fats Domino. We'll be wearing period-style outfits.
