I'm sure it involved an address written on that chalk board.

I call the keytar. I also insist on wearing a keyboard tie.

17,075 posts, and this is what gets me a custom tag.

I see that I am pencilled in for keyboards. Fair warning, I can only play Working for the Weekend and Don't Stop Believing. Going by that pattern, it may be that I am only able to play songs from 1981 but the scientists have not discovered why yet.

Oh sh*t I just realized that I can play the guitar solo from Olivia Newton John's "Get Physical" from 1981 as well.

(this may sound like a joke post but the above statements are true).

So did you guys cut a single yet or what? I think on your first album you should do a cover song:



I can already see Sergei 'troutman' Makarov with the big solo at the end.

If you know that you can play about 90% of pop songs.

I can be the wardrobe department! I only sing drunk karaoke.

This is how I imagine a CP band:

That has a common chord structure used in many songs ex. No Woman No Cry

I know both of those songs

If you need an extra bass player, count me in. I can play rythym bass, and btimbit can be lead bass. What does that leave? 2 more bass spots?

That or I played the tuba in grade 7. I am sure I can figure it out again if you wanna move in a polka direction.

Definitely going for the wall of sound here.

Common chord structure? That's an understatement.

It uses the exact 4-chord progression that pretty much every pop song from the past 40 years uses. It's basically vanilla ice cream.

I - V - vi - IV progression.

If your band knows how to play these basic chords, you can play any of these following songs plus more. Check it out

Spinal Tap once did Big Bottom in concert with about a dozen bass players.

If you need a grand pianist and can move all rehearsals to Edmonton, I'm your pianist.

Pianist.
