He's Horribly Oppressed By the Man
So a while back Troy, the leader of Buttskin Scallion grabs a guitar at Oskar's and asks me to play upright bass while he sings his newest toon. I listen in amazement as he denounces 'the man' for keeping the little guy down and how darn hardscrabble it is these days.
Oh, the irony; coming from a guy who makes 40k @ Sun Microsystems as a white collar phone bank monkey. He owns a few cars and rents a nice place in one of the most expensive communities in Boulder County.
"Lacking cred? Who? Me?"

BS
The Buckskin Stallion calendar is starting to look a little more beefy lately; good thing.
Last gig had Dave Shapiro on guitar and keys. Man, he smokes on that guitar; I'd love to be able to cop some of those cool licks.
Next week is the gig at RRS in The Springs. This is an unusual establishment in that it is laid out a lot like a 'gentleman's club' with the high stage and catwalk (but no poles). Last gig there I was using my Fender Vibrasonic for the first time and wasn't too happy w/the sound but that coulda been my fault. Now I'm back to my Peavey Session 500 and have all the balls I'll need. The aforementioned Dave will be joining us for this one.
