    Doesn't matter,  I am being paid good money to play and people love it. For the last four years I was cleaning toilets at night so my family had health care. It literally almost killed me.  I am happy to  play just about anything,  who am I to judge someone's music taste?

I am pretty excited about it,  we travel quite a bit but it pays well enough so that I don't need a day job.  The 69 is a great match for the gig as John played a stripped natural 60's Precision before he got his Alembic. I love the Schaller pickup!  Lots of power,  great full tone and lacks the grunt the Dimarzio Model P has. Someone here gave it to me, I can't remember who but thanks!

that was me on the pickup....

That's being an entertainer.

And besides, McVie is a terrific bass player. The one time I've seen Fleetwood Mac I was almost shocked at how McVie and Fleetwood went together. Never a missed step, always perfect. I've never in my life seen a bassist and a drummer play so well together as those two did.

   Just back from Columbus Ohio!  This gig is a blast and I am having more fun than I can remember. Our drummer Ryan is great and we work very well together.  I have been studying MacVie's playing and there is a lot more there than at first blush, it's been a real eye opener!
