That's a cool gig! And all this time I've "known" you, I didn't realize your bass is strung righty.

Was a very cool gig, in addition to a hefty payday they also gave us all passes for the show.

It was a great night, after our show they gave us(and any wives in attendance) passes to Ringo's show, which was awesome. Ringo's bassist this time around is the guy from Mr.Mister. He was solid and sang very well. He played a white w/tort P-Bass, gold Epi Casady, and a 5-string I wasn't sure of the make.

We're very lucky to have been around 22 years, that and 11 years winning at the Austin Music Awards lends us a certain amount of credibility I guess.
We DO get some fun gigs. Played 4 shows in various locales across Texas last week, 3 more this week, all in Austin, then back out on the road for 3 more the week after, including a visit to El Paso(ugh!).

Yes, there's lots of Eggmen about!
