Hello everyone. I "lost" this site when I switched to a new laptop, but I recently tracked it down. Nice to see things are still running as normal here with plenty of debate and excellent sharing of knowledge.
I broke my left wrist a few weeks back and I've been going crazy due to the inability to play any of my beloved string instruments.
Also, my life got pretty much turned upside down a year and a half ago with the birth of my first child, but I'm getting a hang of being a father so I hope to truly get more involved with the music scene in and around Saint John once this stupid cast gets removed. I know I've said it before, but I think this inability to play music has really motivated me to get my shit together and pursue what I love.
Anyways, I've always felt welcome on this site, so I hope to visit here more often now that I've found it again!
Have a great weekend everyone. I'll be heading to Sydney for the Music Nova Scotia awards weekend. My band has two nominations this year: Group Recording of the Year and Folk Recording of the Year. Plus we have a showcase but I think I'll just be playing percussion. At least we have a good buddy who can fill in on bass for me this weekend. Unfortunately he's away the next weekend when we have a gig in Truro. I'm presently learning how to play my bass lines on keyboard in order to cover the low end for that gig. Should be interesting!
