: hey Gil, what's up? how u been? well the band
: is doing allright, not as good as i think it
: could be but it's still going and that's the
: most important thing, after all these years
: it has gone thorugh several line up changes
: as you may already know and it even has been
: transformed into a three piece band from
: time to time during which i've had to play
: both rythm and lead, lol i think i've done a
: decent job those times for someone who has
: never thought of himself as being a lead
: guitar player or "guitar hero".
: Anyway, "keep you around" was
: actually inherited to Deveat from a previous
: band i had formed, yes that song is over 10
: years old, there's actually a recording of
: that song with my previous band, it has a
: guitar solo which Alonzo and i had written.
: When Frank heard it he liked it and learned
: the song, later he added his personal touch
: and added a couple of things to the solo
: which made it even better. Frank is not only
: a creative guitarist but also he is always
: willing to listen to advice given to him by
: his bandmates and takes constructive
: criticism very good and learns from all of
: these, he was never concerned with how fast
: he could play or how heavy his distortion
: should sound but he always came up with
: something creative to make the songs better.
: We are trying to finish some new recordings
: which will include a new version of
: "keep you around", it'll be
: basically the same thing except it'll
: feature a different bass line by adam. You
: are right Gil, it's hard to get ahead in
: this town, but i'm not one to complain, if
: the opportunities are not here we'll look
: and find them somewhere else and that's why
: we go play out of town quite often, and if
: our lead guitarist quits i'll take over his
: duties as best as i can, if our drummer
: leaves we'll find a replacement, heck we now
: feature two drummers lol, i've learned that
: one has to keep on playing no matter where
: or with who, when you give up you loose.
: Thanks for dropping by, i hope things are
: going great for you, good luck with
: everything.
