Episode 26: Dude, nobody WANTS to be a bass player; you just end up in that role.

...And then Mike showed up and was an amazing and natural bassist! ... But now he's on guitar... And Jase is on bass? What? What even IS this band?

...

As we approach our 6th anniversary of being together as a band, we discuss how incredible our last show was (shout out to Gleason's in Peekskill) - how awesome the audience was, how toasted Jase was, etc. We even met up with another band who was playing next door (False Start) and stood around for 20 minutes talking shop with them (Jase had actually jammed with the drummer!).

Our main topic of the day is how playing music with others develops you as a musician. Everyone in this band has had many years of experience playing with others; cover bands, original bands, open mics - you name it! Not only is jamming with others important, you also need to perform in front of people and watch others play. It's not always just about ego or comparison, but it teaches you to have a realistic appraisal of your skills, your understanding of music, your understanding of where you can fit in, and helps to keep your finger on the pulse of your local music scene.
