Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

We got asked to help out and play at the Massasoit Community College 50th anniversary day on Saturday afternoon.

Big reverb from the brick building about 40 feet from the front of the big tent (100 feet from the stage).

Cool Mike! Give you credit.

Thanks for checking it out.
These early morning fetes - had to leave the house at 9:30am for 11am soundcheck, and the other band practices on Sunday have been early starts - are hard on arthritic fingers. It takes all day for my fingers to 'warm up', even with periodic finger & hand exercises.

Good job Mike. The lead singer has a nice tonal quality and the harmonies sounded great. The instruments are well balanced. You guys sound awesome!

I thought the harmonies and guitars needed to come up on the mix a little. Sound man had never heard us before and didn't really know the board (which belongs to the singer on the left on the videos). We couldn't hear jackshit through the monitors, but as it was only a 35 minute set (for free) we just did what we could.

EARLY MORNING?
Geese , I have to be up by 5 to answer calls in winter,
No matter, Mike... I understand the tremendous amount of work involved in any gig.
Good job.

Good job.

yeah, I'm up for regular work at 6am every day, but I usually don't play my guitar(s) until evening those days, and I'll do my finger/hand exercises several times during the day.
