Musician roll call

[Shaka]

Thanks for the links I'll watch after work. I recently read that Iris is making a big comeback with the youngsters but I can't remember why. It's always something to do with Tik Tok though.

When Tim made that video, Iris had over five billion Spotify streams. Tim addresses this in his vid. He also brings Rob Cavallo, the guy who produced the song, into the video to explain some of the craziness. Rob is a monster in his own right. Currently, he's working with a band comprised of sixteen-year-olds who live in Davis County. The drummer is the son of a good friend. The band is called Riff Wood.

Been following RW for about a year. Fun stuff. My kids really liked the first album, but say the later releases "are buns". Also, they need to get rid of that drummer and find their Ringo. #sjbh

Buns? Man, I'm getting old. I have no idea what that means. I haven't listened to them enough to know whether or not my friend's kid is cutting it on drums. Mostly, he picks my brain on the industry, and I lecture him on the pitfalls. It seems like they have good legal and agent representation now. Hopefully, that proves to be the case because the music industry is slimey.

I think he's a fine drummer. He's just trying too hard to be the center of attention. Bro, you're the drummer. You don't sing, and you don't stand out front. You can be the cool guy, but you've gotta know your role. FYI buns is not good. My son didn't even know they had signed with a label, but he has definitely noticed a change in their style and lyrics in the last 6 months.

Cavallo produced their last single. It will be interesting to see what direction an album takes.

My guess is that Buns is cleaned up way of saying Ass.

So a local band that I hang out with a lot has asked me to learn a song and perform with them. They generally play to a couple hundred people but some of their shows have 1,000+. They mostly cover 90s stuff but they want me to play Come on Eileen, which as you may remember opens with a violin solo. It's not too difficult but I'm really struggling to picture me doing it because I find it terrifying. I performed a lot as a kid and never got comfortable with it. Doing it now feels much more frightening. I told them yes, but I think I'm lying.

[Shaka]

You should absolutely do it.

[Clark Addison]

You better be wearing baggy overalls with no shirt!

I want to but am a coward. I am going to try.

Oh 100%

I will absolutely be there to cheer you on when this happens. If they ever decide to cover "Ring of Fire" and need a trumpet guy, HMU. Just need some time to work on my embouchure.

Update, I have tried to ignore this but they are asking me to practice with them next weekend. I wish I could express how much I both want to do this and am terrified to do this. But hey, I’m getting old and while I don’t feel old, I do need to take opportunities to be uncomfortable and try new things or I will seem old, if that makes sense to anyone.

You should throw in some Lindsey Stirling moves.
