I know, who the hell are they, right
Ol Bobby has kind of come full circle. He's back playing the same upper midwest places that gave him his start. Kind of cool at that. I believe he still has a place in Fargo where it really all began. 8)DanTien said:Bobby Vee.
He's still out doing it - fairs, etc.
I was dropping daughter at college last year in St. Joseph, MN. - across the street from school was a store front/recording studio - his headquarters.
Has a web site.
Greg, Your willingness to perform some whistling for the band is admirable. Maybe we could get some others to help with kazoos too. Of course it may take a lot of whistlers and kazoo hummers to overpower the armpits.Apocalypse . . .um . . .SOON said:SG--I can whistle a little bit, so I'll be happy to join the band. The only problem is that my whistling sounds like armpits nowadays. Pffft Pfft Do Ra Pffft Me.
BTW, Martha still claims she married me because of my whistling skill. Maybe what I whistle and what she hears are two different things? I guarantee DW will laugh at like any music the band makes--once.

Over a decade of sax & clarinet. I realized that I sucked at improvising so I concluded that I'd have to earn my living by becoming an engineer. Playing in the college pep band got me a lot of free football tickets but I haven't played a woodwind in over 20 years and I can barely read music anymore. Picking up my kid's flute was such a humiliating experience that I'm saving keyboards for after my surfing days are over. By then I'll probably be deaf & blind, too, so I won't be bothered by my lack of skill.TromboneAl said:Music sure is a career you have to save up for.

I admire a guy who can keep his embrasure as you clearly have 8)TromboneAl said:Music sure is a career you have to save up for.
Most of my jazz trombone gigs pay about $50, with a range from $15 to $100. Every year I manage to make handy profit of about -$500. If I were any good, I could probably get that to -$200.
If you dare, click here to see me at a gig.
