Gung ho!!!

What's up people???

Aight... We're sailing away from istanbul as I'm typing this post. I went to see Murder King again and they were phenomenal, as I expected. They played Creeping Death followed by Sad but True, fuckin' awesome.

I've had some run-ins with the new bass player, unfortunately. He keeps finding faults in other people's playing yet is oblivious to his own faults. For example: Before the second Broadway show this cruise, he had the nerve to start dissing other people in the band. Here's how our conversation went.

Bass Player (BP) : Ben (the trumpet player) is not giving us anything to build on when he starts "Never on a sunday"

ME: Hey man! When you play all the right notes in this show, you can start thinking about what other people are doing right or wrong

BP: Oh, don't get me started on you, man.

ME: Go ahead... start. What do you think about my playing?

BP: (backing out) Oh, I'm not that kind of person.

The end

Since then he's been fucking up rehearsals with guest entertainers and excusing himself by saying "Oh, I was falling asleep, man" and then leaning towards me and saying how this whole thing is so boring that he keeps losing focus... what a bunch of horseshit. He's gonna get fired... I can just feel it.

Anyway, anybody pregnant???

See ya,
