Sounds nice, Wolf, your bass sounds very solid, nice tone!

[sonicus]

Rob, Thanks!  
                    When we showed up for the gig, we all immediately realized how important dynamics would be in their party room. They liked us and promised to get us back for another event. The bass that I am playing does indeed have a distinctive voice all of her own. I think I named her well !

I think that we are making progress.  Agreed; this is the best recording yet.

[sonicus]

Dave, Thanks! It is indeed a long recording with our various segues.
 We are adding more material each week and trying to improve what we are already playing. The extended  Eyes of the World jam with the added changes and the riff  is also fun but not in this recording. I will post that when we perform that changed version at a gig.  Here is an example of that from a Dead show  from 11/11/73 @  The Winterland Arena  I like this show, I actually think I was at this one . I was 17 years old at the time just hanging out and listening, and thinking WOW !

 Easy Wind will have some gigs in early 2016 and we are currently scheduling our performance  calendar . We will post them on our website and I will mention them here as well . We are also compiling our own original material and adding and working on expanding our collective musical influences into our sound . We are making weekly expansions and refinements.

Wolf, regarding the Alameda Yacht Club gig... that's some mighty fine music you guys played - Well Done! I forwarded the link to some guys I've been gigging with I think might enjoy it too.
 
P/S, is that Woody on lead guitar?

[sonicus]

Gregory ,  
                Thanks so much for taking a look at our Vids and thanks for the compliment.  The lead guitarist is Ken Younger and the Alembic Further that he is playing is  his own and  not  Woody, owned by lbpesq /Bill,tgo.

Ah. The medallion threw me off. Well the guitar sounds fantastic in his hands... that intro to the first tune has been in my ear all morning here in the office. =)
 
You're so right about the (importance of) segue between tunes. Sometimes the most accomplished performer(s) is/are hindered by inability to entertain... it's a different skill set altogether. The band I'm currently in suffers from exactly that condition - the music is fine, even darn good some days. I am actively trying to improve as a frontman, talking *to* the audience rather than just introducing the next tune. It's not natural to me... much harder than playing bass for sure.  
 
You guys sound great!

Funny how some who'd never seem to be frontpeople, are; I am one...when I started my band I didn't even want to be singer and once I started singing (or angry bellowing in my case) it all came rather easily; I've had people who know me say that I'm totally different onstage, and they are not wrong...I wish I knew where it came from as I might be a far better social person if I did; it's probably having a stage and an instrument 'round my neck, and trying to replicate that in public ain't gonna work...oh well...Tony

Here is the facebook link to my  Easy Wind Valentines Party gig .  
 Please share and repost . This is really a nice venue that does quite a bit of local Art Promotion , a very worthy cause in my opinion .  
 Thanks  ,
