Hi guys,

Thought I'd share this with you from the first rehearsal of the new band I'm involved with - a 9 piece Western Swing band (our other fiddle player couldn't make it so there's only 8 of us here).

It's a bit rough round the edges but the band hadn't even met each other until about 2 hours beforehand.

Thanks Lee,

We're hoping to hit some of the rockabilly weekenders next year - there aren't too many pubs and clubs that have a big enough stage for a 9 piece band.

Wow - excellent Jeff! That is how I like my western swing. Everything is just right and completely authentic sounding. Thanks for posting!

Awesome! We don't have enough bands like it around here. However, we have the big old ballrooms that would fit it.

I love the piano player's playing on Seven Come Eleven! Looks like a fun band.

Managed to get together for a second rehearsal, although this time minus our drummer Sad

But we did have both fiddle players Smile

Oh yeah, I'd pay to get in to see that! That quad restoration looks great Jeff.

Jeff, You all sound great! easy listening, and relaxing. Wishing you great success.
Too bad western swing wouldn't make a comeback, country music at it's best.

Are you sure you have enough guitar players? Wink

Looks like a fun band! Good players all around.

I'd just LOVE to play that music. I can't find one guitar player to do it let alone three.
