Jonesy's School of Rock Student Band

jonesy · 07-09-2009, 08:13 PM

I have something I wanted to share with you guys here at MLPF. I got asked to play out at Bass Lake Festival on Saturday July 25th on the Main Stage 3:15pm-4:00pm, and since I am not in a band right now I put together this Student Band.

We just had our first practice today and I gotta say I was blown away by how good these guys jammed. I have seen some adults that could not play together as a group as good as these guys did for the short amount of time they have been playing. The Guitarist is 12 (studiofire), the Bass player (bassplayer11D) is 11 and the Drummer is 14, all their ages combined don't even add up to my age of 48

Our set list is going to be something like this....

1. 8th note rock ( original instrumental)
2. sunshine of your love-cream
3. TNT-ac/dc
4. living after midnight-judas preist
5. another brick in the wall part II-pink floyd
6. killing floor-howlin wolf
7. rambling on my mind-clapton version
8. taking care of business-bto
9. dirty deeds-ac/dc
10.wild thing-hendrix version
11. can't always get what you want-rolling stones
12. all along the watchtower-hendrix version

Pics are of us set-up in my front window, we had a lot of people checking us out from the sidewalk out front. Some of these songs we are doing as instrumentals and some of them I will being singing on.

Amen to that brother. Jonesy, you're the man.

markophonic · 07-09-2009, 10:04 PM

Jonsey...That is so cool!

These kids will remember this for the rest of their lives!

PS. Bonus points for sunglasses!!

Boleskinehouse · 07-09-2009, 10:08 PM

Very cool. Those kids are lucky to have you.

jonesy · 07-09-2009, 10:15 PM

Man you guys are way to kind. I sure ain't no saint and used to do some crazy stuff in my early 20's.

By Teaching I am just trying to give back a little of what God has given to me, and I do think the Lord's gonna have a few things to talk to me about if I even get close to Heaven.

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger, I'm sure I'm in some shit just like waiting for your Dad to come home when you pissed Mom off.

I don't own a video camera so not sure if I will be able to get someone to do a video, maybe some still shots for sure?

It's kinda funny, I used to be in a band with the person who is providing the pa for this show. So these kids will be playing on some of the same gear I used in a lot of the local clubs around here
