I dunno if I got it or not yet.

Call backs will be sometime this week. They'll tell me whether I'm gonna be called back again or not.


I dunno what to think though, it went alright, not as good as I wanted it to be. I had a lot of stress today. And I only got 3 hours of sleep the night before.

There was lots of my fellow talented musicians that I knew there, so I also have to compete with them, who actually got the songs something like a week before me, I only got them like 2 days before it, cuz they couldn't find my number, which was changed a couple months ago.

However, We'll see what soem results are in time. I hope I get it personally, but whatever, if I don't get it, it's no big deal really, I have many other opportunities waiting for me as well, like universal studios, if he likes that demo when we send it. Plus I'll likely sell out on my own anyway.

But believe me, I can play the lines, I was taught many different styles, and grooves, there was just a lot of things on my mind the last coupkle of days. However, they seemed pretty pleased with my performance overall. And, Aselin was actually singing pretty good this time. I'm just sick of those f**king songs. haha.

Nope, never! I'll always be a prog bassist. Look at Tony Levin, he's a prog bassist, yet still plays for various pop stuff.

Good Luck, hope you get the callback.
Peace.

I said "no" just to throw off the integrity of the poll. I really have no clue.

I just voted no.

Hey Brett,

Stephen Muise here. I am sorry to tell you that you did not recieve a call back for the Aselin Debison gig. Thanks for comming out and keep playing.

If you turn out anything close to your father you will be a monster of a musician.

Thanks again


                              Stephen

Well, when I was playing it, the manager kept stopping and saying that there was an e minor in the song we were playing, and there WAS NOT!

I swear to my grave there wasn't. After I went home, i kept listening for it, no e minor, then my guitar player, who is really good at learning things by ear, listened for it, no e minor.

Mabye he should have learned the songs before judging others on learning them.

However, I was pretty nervous, mabye that's why i didnt get it, oh well, no sense in caring now, it's over.

Never mind PB. It's their loss not yours and you'll get there eventually.
