OK, you've drug it out of me. . . .
About 30 years ago, I played keyboards with a band in Wichita, KS. We had a lead singer there who has since moved on to host a very popular reality TV show, though it seems he's forgotten his bandmates. . .
In the last 6-8 years the other half and I have started our own little singing duo. We both have always loved music, and being the computer geek that I am, I was challenged by that, so we've been kicking that. We do a lot of varied stuff, from the 50s/60s up to Uncle Kracker & Lady Antebellum.
We've got a Roland 77-key synth, an Ensoniq Stage Piano, a Yamaha synth, a Tapco/Mackie mixer w/effects, a Behringer mixer without, two Digitech vocalizers, an Alesis sound module, and a crappy PA. I play keyboards, and play at guitar,(I am a half-fast guitarist at best. .
) the other half plays piano, and is our lead singer. We pretend to be a band by using MIDI, doing the backing tracks, etc., since forming a band once again is way too much BS for either of us old folk to put up with again!
We've recorded two CD's so far, and are working on our third right now. It should be interesting.
We call ourselves "ECHO", and if you want to check out some of our stuff, you can drop by
http://hear-the-echo.com. We have a pull-down toward the bottom of the page that has some of our older stuff on it. We've improved quite a bit since those recordings were done(
Thank God!!!) but it's got a smattering of what we've done.
If we were all in the same place at the same time, we could have a helluva band. . .
