Our first studio work is now loaded on my profile page. Five tunes, starting with Ain't No Sun, ending with I'm Ready. We use an intro consisting of Black Dog for Workers Blues. I'm Ready is the only cover (Muddy Waters). The others are originals. Alexander and the Greats is Alexander Harrison (lead guitar and vocals), Bob Hayett (bass and vocals) and Terry Stanley (drums). There will be a few opportunities to catch us live on the radio and the internet starting next week. I'll keep you posted.

This is good enough to pay for. Where, When, and How. I have cash or credit card. I want to play this on some of our breaks.

RG is such a kind soul. Bob you are not playing up to where you are at. Go watch your live videos. Tell your hotshot guitarist that you are the the reason he has any chance of pulling the licks. (same ones, to many times) drummers good, vocals different, big plus. I'm not happy with most of these, because you are one of my favorite players up here. You have been discounted. It is so hard to explain what happens when you try to record something that sounds great live, and then dies in the studio. AND VICE VERSA. By the way 5 people injured by jumping Sturgeons in FL. :)

Thanks for the critique. These were recorded and mixed QUICK, all parts done in ONE take. We needed a good demo ASAP. I believe they are good enough to get us gigs. But we'll find out soon enough...In the meantime we've got a few events coming up where we could win 24 hours of recording time. A few of these tunes are going on a radio station next Friday. A few of us will be at the station for some interviews. Gigs are hard to find, especially ones that allow a 17 year old. We're going after festivals, private functions, Battles, etc. Now that the band members have made it to a studio I know we're seriously moving forward. For DECADES I couldn't get band members to get their butts in the studio. Refreshing, these guys have a better vision for the future...
