DM - I assume you mean the top two strings as you are looking at him. Those are the lowest strings, so they have all the lowest notes. Since most bass players tend to play mostly the root notes of the chords, one could easily play mostly those strings. And if you play higher notes on those strings, they have a lot more punch than if you play them on the upper strings. But IMO most rock bass players are mediocre as far as exploring the possibilities of the instrument, even though they may keep good time and be able to play fast etc. Maybe it's because rock became completely separated from jazz, so they never heard how the bass could relate to the chord changes. Or maybe it's just the folk music amateur style kind of thing.

Yeah, totally. The nice thing about the Cruz shows is that it's really easy to get front-of-stage, so I could really see the fingering. And a lot of that fingering looked really simple. Ain't no Lesh, that's for damn sure.

We're sad to announce that due to COVID-19 the 2020 Free Friday Night Bands on the Beach concert series has been canceled.
[i]We look forward to rockin' the beach with you again in 2021![/i] ❤
Given the uncertainty about the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the Boardwalk's operating hours, special events and promotions are subject to change.
We hope everyone is healthy and safe and we look forward to the day when we can re-open and welcome everyone back to the park!

Bummer. Now things have really hit rock bottom.
Having said that, now looking for new rock bottom to jump up and bite me in the ass.

Yeah, less of that kind of talk, lest someone overhears and obliges.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Greg still sets me up with the best invitations like this - the faux pas kid lives!
Besides, you said it yourself:

Well no, not really. It's not the bandshell on Fridays. It's the Colonnade, which is much smaller, on Thursdays.

Not likely...Santa Cruz's a bit of a trek after work on a weekday night.

I thought you lived there. Apparently I was wrong on that.
RE: Cruz Beach Boardwalk concerts 2019 - Drunk Monk - 04-27-2022
tg is on the other side of Mo Bay.
I live in the Cruz. When the wind was right, I could hear the bandshell concerts from our bungalow. I doubt I’ll be able to hear the Colonnade stage.

Reminder: The Coffee Zombie Collective plays tomorrow, Thurs 8/4. It should be a fun show
