for my wedding this fall. It is in Seattle. Anyone have any recommendations? I am sure there are some horror stories out there. Feel free to share them, if so inclined. I hope there are some success stories as well! | ||

Do you want to fly in a band? I have several bands here in the Bay Area that I mix for or have mixed for. Top Notch Groovers too. | ||

I am considering flying in a band. JGB from the bay area. Flights, hotels, equipment, etc add up pretty quick, so I am not sure I can afford that. All options are open at this point though... Thanks for responding | ||

Jon. Why not fly in Big Tuna from Scotland? At least there'd be two Alembics on the stage ;-) Graeme | ||

Jon: What was then essentially JGB played at my wedding 5 1/2 years ago. My friend was the guitar player at the time. It was a blast. Melvin is a very nice guy. I sat in with them for a couple of songs. My wife hates this when I say it, but the high point of the wedding for me was when my wife went to thank Melvin and he told her: "Hey, your old man can really play"! If you can get them, go for it. And congrats on the wedding. Bill, tgo | ||

thanks Bill. I got 'em if I want 'em (i.e. afford). It has been a pleasure working with his agent Tony. I was considering putting something together with Melvin on my own...Scott Law and my drummer ( who I am very anxious to reveal played the set with Phil at Slim's last month for the benefit) Adam plus some others. I think that may be too complex though. Trust me if I were in the bay, it would be a no-brainer. (Also, Bill I have sent you email) | ||

Kimberly, I watched your videos a few months ago and some of these as well. Very cool. If a bass soloist is the way we decided to go, I'll know where to go | ||

Hi Phylo, Thank you very much. As 'they' say, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." I appreciate your response and if you do decide a bass soloist is the way to go, you really need look no further, (unless you want to import Dino from the east coast). ;) Best wishes to you and your bride to be.

Isn't Seattle a place with a strong music scene? You would think there are plenty of capable bands in the area. |
