Me and my homeboy T. Love on the keys and Josh on the drums hittin in Cleveland, MS With Seane Kelley. Myself and T were filling in for two groups and had to learn the songs on the drive there. Crazy thing is we had just done the same thing for a concert the day before. I think this is the night I fried my tubepre my peak light is shining the whole video

dude when that happens to me its like EVERYBODY else know the song BUT me (i've never even heard it before). i be feeling like i've been living in another dimension.

I like challenges like this, because it makes me feel that all the practicing is worthwhile. Being able to play on the spot also opens up doors for future gigs.

If you bring a bass to a musical around here, there's a good chance you're going to play for everyone who sings. It's not bad if its a song you've played or at least heard, but those other times trying to follow organ foot pedals and keyboardist pinky fingers and people yelling notes at you can be a little stressful. Good thing about gospel is that a lot of it is repetitive and if you've been playing any amount of time usually you can feel your way through a song pretty well.

There was a time, early on in my playing, that I wouldn't dare try to play along with other churches, groups, etc., because I would be afraid I would mess up. Now I just say a prayer, take a deep breath, and go for it.

Amen to that!

I told a young kid not to long ago that knowing the bass like the back of your hand is definitely a good thing!!!  it's been plenty of times where the keyboard player called out the notes until i picked the progression.

That's how I started.  The MOM would call out the bassline and I would play it as he called it out.  After the song was over, I would write it out.  The next time we played it, I would read it (if I needed to).
