That guy who plays bass in a Big Band: Part 9, Rehearsal 10 Grey skies on April 29th and silly bathroom images.
I almost skipped rehearsal again. Thankfully, I have a good support system.
Traffic and Parking:
Traffic started out bad and became lighter as I got closer to the college. Here's a shot of a congested start:
More parking spaces were available today. Maybe the semester is over for some students that choose to withdrawal. The image below is the one I'm not supposed to be taking any more.
Next, is the image that is supposed to replace the one above. My goal in the image below is to capture palm trees in the window's reflection.
My windshield is extra dirty because someone smashed a Breakfast Jack on it while parked. I don't like fast food that much and I hate it smashed in my windshield. I think they threw it at my car while they were walking by. It's probably just a random toss from one of the school kids walking by.
Second Parking Ticket Update:
Fuck them. I shouldn't have said what I said on that appeal form, but I already felt like they wouldn't care. Eventually, sergeant dick called me. He mentioned the evidence he had. They had me on camera. I mentioned all the stupid things like the small yellow curb and dirty red curb. He didn't care. I said I have a bad back and he said I should have a handicap pass. It's his job to deter me. I allowed myself to be convinced because of the angry way I behaved upon finding the ticket. I talked a lot of shit to the students that perpetuated this student on student crime (issuing the ticket). They think they are coming from service. They steal music.
Big Band Broadcasts:
There are three this time. I cut some of the other bass players songs because I wanted to use these broadcasts to hear myself without scrolling. She seemed a little apprehensive about being recorded at first, but she'll see it's for the
Skip the chatter in the beginning of this first broadcast and jump to the music here at 02:06. I move the camera around to be entertaining. It's also a spot where I interact with an old friend from Buskerapp. Thank for stopping by Miguel!
Musician Tip:
- Be early to set up your gear and equipment without causing a disruption.
- Attend as many rehearsals as possible. Communicate your absences.
- If you think you're going miss rehearsals, do your homework and record everything.
Skip the chatter in the beginning of this next broadcast by clicking here at 01:37. Our drummer sings On A Clear Day, that song with mixed time signatures that I mentioned in the previous big band post.
Don't click the image above. Just skip to the next song at 08:50.
The third broadcast also starts off with a lot of talking. Skip to the song Caravan at 01:43.
At 18:45 we start rehearsing "Sir Duke." Click here on 18:48 to hear our version of this Stevie Wonder song.

I wish I didn't need to use Periscope, but what else is there for mobile live streaming with Steem?
What is Big Band: In the form of a poem?!
Big band is lots of music. Swung fast and for amusement.
The songs are musical journeys and old time memories.
Big band can help people become confused and it can help lovers dance to the blues.
Big band is chords in an arrangement. Straight and simple with kicks for amazement.
The multi-cultured song lists create rememberable melodies.
Big band helps players stay sharp, so just say goodbye to your wallet before you start.
Bass Amps:
We are sharing the school's bass amp for this rehearsal.
"Random Art" was here.

What is that in the car that looks brown?
The brown thing on the windshield? It’s a piece of somebody’s breakfast sandwich.
