   RW> -Never name your band after a song.   
      
   SB> lol.. we did that.. "Nuthin Fancy" was the name of our band.    
      
   NEver done that one, in over thirty years of it .   
   KNew some that did.   
      
   RW> -When a drummer brings in his own songs and asks to perform one of them, b   
   RW> looking for a new drummer IMMEDIATELY.   
      
   SB> rofl.. that would have been Rick, he was the first drummer in the   
   SB> second band  I played in. He used to whine that no one would listen   
   SB> to his ideas, and  wanted to know why they listened to my ideas when   
   SB> I was the newest member of  the band. He was replaced soon after   
   SB> that.. he didn't like being told drummers were a dime a dozen by   
   SB> Wayne (who was our lead singer) so he quit.    
      
   tHey are, but good ones are rare.  I'm probably pickier   
   about the rhythm section's heart than most anything else.   
   I'm one of these guys that's a stickler for doing the proper things because   
   they work, i.e. drummer pulls back a little   
   bit and plays the closed hats during verses, and maybe,   
   depending on the arrangement might switch to the ride during the bridge, etc.   
      
   RW> -No one cares that you have a MySpace page.   
      
   SB> lol.. there was no MySpace when I played in a band..    
      
   NOpe, me neither.  But, had there been I'm sure somebody   
   would have used it as a promotional attempt.   
      
   RW> -3 things that are never coming back: gongs, headbands and playing slide   
   RW> guitar with a beer bottle.   
      
   SB> LOL.. I'm heading to get a beer out of the fridge right now!    
      
   Seen all sorts of things used for that one, shot glass works too.   
      
      
   Regards,
