Since then, I’ve seen them several times and think the new guy is spectacular. Not to blow my own horn, but as a seasoned musician of 48 years, I have an ear for such things. In fact, the first time heard “The Way it Is” by Bruce Hornsby and The Range, I knew instantly that it would be the number one hit that year. “But,” you say, “that song is mostly piano!” And you’re right. I play piano/keys, guitar, and drums/percussion, so there’s that.

I don’t care how good a musician is if their ego has them playing so loud that they screw the overall mix to a point that screws the overall vibe.

Go go go New Relic Guitarist!!

And here we go!!

Interesting note about the sound man. Saw them at LSL and they were good but sound not mixed well.
