Superband is really... SUPER!!
I just have to post about this... I came back from church not too long ago from SUPERBAND! The event organised by BCC Cre8ive ministries and sponsored by many others including The Positive Alternative, 96.5FM... Only to Brisbane in Australia for one evening only!! Though it set me back $50 but I HAVE GOT NO REGRETS MAN!!! that was like the best clinic/concert i've ever been to in my LIFE!!!
The likes of Abraham Laboriel the Bass King, Sheila E drummer/percussionist for the likes of Stevie Wonder, Babyface and Prince, Paul Jackson Jr guitars for Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson, and Tom Brooks keyboards Dove multi-award winner producer/arranger/composer from the Hosanna Music series....
You have to see it to believe it... well even though I've seen it, I still don't believe it... they're OUT OF THIS WORLD MAN!!! they literally blew a whole lot of peoples minds... i mean in the clinic they just played off a melody that Abraham was humming backstage a few minutes before they went onstage... and they were TIGHT!! the ability to read off each other and play off each other was uncanny!! when you've heard the professional sound, you never want to go back to the sub-standards man!!! but they were really encouraging and everything... and they're all BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS so it was like a really cool outreach concert man!!
I'm motivated again to play and explore.. abraham shared that playing in a band is not about YOU... getting YOUR sound out... its about playing and making the other band members comfortable... its ok to be the background sound... typical musicians like to go in and BE HEARD!! but sometimes we need to lay back and let others be the foreground... play to complement each other, not to compete with each other... in time when you've made your mark in the background, there's only forward to go... =)
Yep i'm so motivated I'm thinking about my wishlist again... drum kit... les paul... zoom gt5 effects processor... that's a good $2Ks man... hahahah!!! oh well... if God leads me in that direction.. He will provide whenever I'm ready... =)
WHY SHOULD THE DEVIL HAVE ALL THE GOOD MUSIC?!?!??!?!!!!
