thats so awsome. your battle of the bands was literally a day afgter mine!
i just won 2 years in a row :) no mean to brag :)
no mean to brag lol? no biggy ENB , not if ya won.
"we" (two bands - two decades) were gonna win one , mebbe two of those (1,ooo buck was big prise money back then lol) the gig was for all bands, both Pro and Am, BUT they had a policy of "ya gotta get you and yer gear up and off in 30 minutes!", and both in the 80's and later early 90's, we played out so much that . lol. when the "times up!-girl" flashed 10 or five fingers, my young (early 30's) drunk arse thought she meant "five MORE minutes", and so we were famously disqualified both times... had a blast though ... keep it up Y'all!!! RAWK!

@BBT,
Get a haircut you hippie freak! Bwahahahaha (you have no idea how many times i heard that back in the 70's)! I enjoyed your playing on "yesterday" alot. nice job! Looks like you have fans there! And I dig the hat and green pants! you could be a pro golfer. lol But seriously nice job Tanner. Thanks for putting up the vid.
Phip
haha, my pants are actually pale blue, its the light that makes it green. but thanks! i was pretty friggin nervous, that was the 2nd time i ever sang up on stage. and the first time there wasnt even half as many people, and i knew all of them. so this was pretty scary haha. I screwed up Blackbird cause i could barely feel my fingers, it was odd.
it wasnt too bad, i wasnt that nervous i was more anxious, if thats any different. most of the other bands there were heavy metal/screamo, so i felt pretty out of place. i got more confident as i played. some of my hommies were jumping around and cheering at the front, i couldnt bring myself to look at them, i probably would have started laughing and ruined the songs haha.
Hey, sounds good man. I only listened to Yesterday so far, and i loved it. hahaha. I might be off base, but it seems like you could use the song being transposed up a bit. It just seemed like it was in the bottom of you register.
yeah its a tricky song to sing, cause its in 2 octaves, if i sing it much higher then the higher parts are too high. but i could have done it a step higher. and thats nowhere near the bottom of my register, i can go in to Leonard Cohen land haha
