Behind the bar, there's a sound proof room. Ideal for practice and rehearsals.
Here you can try out new riffs in solitude, or just figure out how your g*dd*mn instument works!

Check out my idea that I posted on the conversation at the Musician's Guild page. I'd say it again, but I'm a bit worn out at the moment... smiley - biggrin

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cause none of them can stop the time

How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Yes some say it's just part of it
We've got to fulfill the book

Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had, redemption songs, redemption songs, redemption songssmiley - musicalnote

Yes, I've read it. It's brilliant! smiley - biggrin

Well, Bumble...

It was nice meeting you. Thanks for all the support, laughs, and coffee. Maybe we'll meet again in the afterlife. It seems like my next destination, but hopefully not yours for many years to come... smiley - biggrin

*kicks open the door and charges at the mass of large, hairy, French warriors, with his bass in in his right hand and his towel in the left*

Tadaaaaaaaaa!!!

Sorry, I would have responded much sooner had the phone lines not been bottled up by an entire city trying to get in touch with their loved ones.

But I'm here and aching to make some music.

How've the two of you been, by the way? I haven't seen you guys in ages...
