Johnny Rock

We auditioned another bass player last night and I must say things went well. This new guy, John, was really busy with work so he only learned about 5 songs. We ran through them with moderate success, then ran through a few again and worked out some kinks. All in all I'd say he's a good fit with us. He's no Les Claypool, however in all fairness he really didn't get to show off in any way, but he's solid and he gets the job done. We're no virtuosos ourselves, so I think he fits nicely. Plus he's somewhat young (28-33?), pretty laid back, and he's not a slob (e.g. he's presentable to play in public). He's also got a good amount of experience gigging, so that helps a lot. From what I understand he seems to like us so far and he's coming back next week for practice. We added a bunch of songs for next week and we're gonna rock the joint. Bung.
