Have you seen that commercial?  The one from "Homeland Security" with all the kids asking, "Mom, Dad, if I'm at soccer practice will you come get me?"  Welcome to the world of propaganda.  It makes me ill.  Are people really that afraid?  Or are "they" pushing an agenda?  Wtf?!  Propaganda website if you need brainwashing:

If you never see a post from me again, they came and got me!

It's been (what feels like) eons since I've been in a band and had the pleasure of playing with other musicians and I was looking to hook up with anyone local who wants to "jam" or happens to be looking for a bass player.  I have a bunch of half-written tunes that I would love to collaborate on, especially if you can do some lead guitar work.  I can play some rhythm but I'm not a lead guitar player by any stretch. ;)   I have a pretty decent home studio here for recording and mixing and would love to get with some folks who are into making music just for the sake of it.  My chops are a little rusty but I've had time since I moved to Tehachapi to play every day so its all coming back with a vengeance!  I can send samples to anyone interested.

Incidentally, despite some of our heated online dialogs, I was hoping to tap Aero since his musical style and tastes gleaned from various posts appears to be similar to mine, for some rockin' "Zeppelin'esque" jams!  And anyone who can crank out Stairway to Heaven is OK in my book. ;)  If you still read this site, Aero, or if someone knows him could ping him for me I'd be obliged.  Nothing like music and beer to sweep the water under the bridge. ;)  And I'll buy the beer!
