Doesn't look like there is any opportunity to talk between songs or introduce a song so no opportunity for a Carlinism. New song I did a demo on this past weekend has 'suck', 'ass' and 'f*ck' in it, but being local cable, I'm not going to do that one, either.
As for doing a cover, I'm thinking of Van Morrison's Into The Mystic - a favorite with a lot of people and (I think) I belt it out pretty good. Need something like that in my 'resume'.
In my continued partner search ....
had a CL response from a guy (24 years old!) who didn't reply to my email as requested in the ad (subtract a point) and hasn't repsonded to my response yet (minus 2 more points).
Acoustic band in Concord (about 45 minutes north) is still advertising for another guitarist - they said "I was too far away".
A guy I contacted when I heard he broke up from his acoustic partner told me he was 'all set' a few weeks ago, but I noticed today he just set up a profile here and he's looking for a partner. I'll see him this week at an open mic he is hosting and will approach him one more time.
I wish people would just say 'I don't think it would work out' rather than make lame reasons. Hey, if you don't like my style, that's your issue, just say it. I've had enough people who DO like what I do, so I know its a matter of personal preference. There's any number of people that DON'T do it for me either.
I think everyone on the show had one retake, so it all went to schedule. Fun time overall and a lot better than doing a 'live on tv' broadcast.
