Well, some blogger I am - missed a whole day! I am sure you noticed and were quite alarmed.
Yesterday I checked out acoustic electric bass guitars, trying to decide if that might be the way to go. They do put out a bit of sound if unplugged, but I am not sure if there is enough sound to be heard over/under an acoustic guitar and singing. I will have to have Valerie come with me next time to try it out :-). They necks are also wider, which, could potentially be a problem. Perhaps I will have to stick with an electric bass and not play bass if there is not amplification allowed at a venue. I asked about the Ovation Basses and the person working at that particular store was not fond of them - the bodies are extra large and bowled, making them strange to play. I will have to find one to try myself... He also didn't like the Ibanez arch-top f-holed basses, thought they sounded tinny...
Valerie played the Shamrock Dinner at the historic Masonic Temple in Poulsbo last night. I can't wait to hear how it went.
We have another gig booked - mark your calendars - July 3rd at the Kingston Farmer's Market. WooHoo! Sounds like fun!
Okay - I actually have to go take a shower now - I know, TMI
