it finally happened. Ive been asked to audition for a new swing band forming.
this will be my first audition as a steel player!
the 'boss' wants to play newer swing, like Cmdr. Cody and Asleep at the Wheel.
(Ive been listening to older swing,ie: Spade Cooley).
I listened to the songs they want to play.
Cmdr Cody is fast.
I did my homework. practiced the two string slants using all the string pairs
(Thanks Denny T for the C6 slant chart).
I dont have any licks down since Ive been playing my resonator in open G for months now.
I cant resist playing swing in C6. so I will go to the audition.
BTW, this will be a casual band, he said, no pressure and some gigs.
so any tips for me?[This message was edited by Randy Reeves on 20 February 2006 at 10:47 AM.]
