Hi Everyone, thought I would give you all an update on the "Always Patsy Cline" Show in Phoenix at the Phoenix Theater. Here's the link http://www.phoenixtheatre.com/Home.aspx
This show is so much fun, it hasn't been at the Phoenix theater in 9 years.
Were in our 3rd week with 14 performances left to do.
it is so much fun, the theater staff, the show characters and the band are so cool and so much fun to work with.
When I showed up for this gig the director and the band director both knew I didn't read sheet music, (everyone else in the band does) so they said, play what you want to play, when you want to play and all you want to play. The guitar player said hey, I got 4 little solo's in the show, I just want to play rhythm behind you.  WOW
The gal playing Louise is a riot and the little gal playing Patsy is from NYC and sings her butt off.
Anyway, I wanted to invite all you local people to come and see the Show, you will enjoy it for sure I know. I hope to see some of you there.

The fact that you don't read sheet music definately hasn't hurt your playing any at all!  Sounds like you have a fun gig! Way to go! |

Negative Ransom on a bass player name Doug.
This fellow's name is TJ, can't pronounce his last name.
He's a classical bass player only about 27 years old.

Fred,
Man I would have loved to see you do that show. I saw in in Cambria Ca a while back and love the show. I know you did a bang up job on it as well.
We are still in the middle of moving in to the new place in Mesa and wasn't even aware that you were playing the show. Dang....
Hope to touch base soon..
Rob
