New Bass Player for Kinetic Element

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello again, all our friends around the world!

It's a new day in
KE land. Last night we welcomed David Donlon of Springfield VA into the
band as our new bass guitarist.

David showed up in a most unusual
fashion, in a way we could not have foreseen. He saw the last e-mail I
sent you all, and asked to try out. David actually contacted me back in
2006 when I was trying to put together a band to perform my solo CD
Starship Universe but circumstances were not right at the time for him
to start driving down to Richmond to play. After some good e-mails and a
couple of good phone conversations, David took it on himself to obtain
the recordings and learn them, and showed up here on April 17.  He
played the music as if he'd been in the band since 2006. It was a
perfectly fitting puzzle piece. Some of what we've learned about each
other has convinced me that the invisible Hand was once again at work in
bringing him to us.

Like the other three members of KE David's "musical resume" is
sparse. All of us had to wait a very long time to be able to be in a
prog rock band. All we can say is, we're doing it now. We ask, as
always, for your support, and will do all we can to earn it.

We will be putting our live show back together and are very
interested now in playing out. If you can help us find a show we'd like
to hear from you. You guys are the reason we exist. Thanks for your
patience. I can't wait to start doing new music with this newly
energized Kinetic Element.

	Disaster but maybe for the better David left us early this month after seven weeks. He felt we were not compatible. However nothing we could say could persuade him to change his mind. So we are back to being a trio and we're looking at using a virtual bass player, taking Tony's bass tracks from the CD and rehearsing with them. We saw Days Before Tomorrow do that at the ROSfest afterparty, and it seemed to work for them. We're also back to rehearsing as a trio with Old Mikey doing keyboard bass. It sounded pretty good last rehearsal but we're not sure whether we want to play for prog conoisseurs like that. I'll keep you few who are following us posted here. Thanks for your support ... if you have enjoyed the Powered by Light CD please tell the forum. There are some good reviews that have been posted here! Mike V.
