Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin', into the future!

Man, time to get my ass in gear! Only two posts last year? Well the latest update on the band... Rick, the original bass player left last summer. Too busy chasing skirts. We had a succession of bass players, keyboardists and vocalists since then. Nothing stuck till now.

Tim took over bass duties a few months back. He also has a PA (yea!). Meredith joined us just last week. She loves all the classic rock we enjoy such as Boston, Journey, REO, Black Sabbath and so on. Hopefully we can tighten up and get some gigs going.

I've added some new pedals since I bought the SKB pedal board last year. I took out the ToneWorks processor and added a Boss FV-500H Volume Pedal, a Boss GE-7 Equalizer, a Boss BF-2 Flanger, a Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor, a Behringer DD400 Digital Delay and a Korg Pitchblack Tuner.

This board rocks, but I gotta tell ya, it's heavy as hell all loaded up! Later on I'll post some videos of the different sounds I get using my Start through a Marshall 50 watt head. Until then, it's great to be back!
