A near unanimous victory for Alexander and the Greats in Round 1 of the Battle of the Bands. With fisherman bob (me) on bass and the great Terry Stanley on drums, phenom 17 year old Alexander Harrison has one of the best rhythm sections of any band, anywhere. Hopefully I can get pics and post. Unfortunately I'm not very computer savvy so I'll have to enlist help to do it. We performed five originals and two covers, I guarantee most of the audience had no idea we were playing originals, they are THAT GOOD. The contest organizer afterwards said I was friggin awesome. I told him I've been playing bass for 30 years. He said "I can't hardly tell..."

Great news Bob. Your enthusiasm is refreshing. So many players have told me lately "originals? Nah...No market for that."

cheers

I believe July 3 at The Beaumont Club in the Westport entertainment district Kansas City, Mo. That's a BIG venue, lots of famous national acts perform there. Plenty of time to create another killer set. We're starting to get some other gigs, have a private party lined up, playing at a big outdoor festival end of April, at my annual disc golf event in August.
