The Occasional Banister Musical Progress In Practice, Baltimore, Maryland

Be Careful What You Wish For

May 7th, 2009

Band practice tonight. Quartet format tonight for the first time in two weeks. And the fretless bass is back in rotation after some much needed repair. It sounds like a fretless bass again! Unfortunately, the action and setup are now so different that playing it proved an exercise in frustration. And so, back to the woodshed.

Anagram of Occasional Banister: “I score cannabis a lot”

Thus the perils of anagramming. With that, a 2006 rendition of our own variation on Stevie Wonder’s “Too High.” Really only a riff on the bass line of its verse as a forum for trading solos.  Have a listen.

Ceremonious First Post

Having given in to the temptation to create a blog for the band, I have gone ahead and…um, created a blog for the band. As with practically every other blog out there, this is just another instance of  “I Was Here”–only plurally in this case.

We’ll write occasionally. Who knows about what. Who cares?

From comedy arts past:

Thought for the day: lasting impressions. Think about it. Thanks.
