That very night (the night of the Beatles tribute) Tilt played at Old Canberra Inn and Richard dropped in to play a few tunes. We didn't play any Beatles, but I reckon the Fab Four would have taken such a selfie, at least in their early days, if they had our mobiles. My bass even got a look in, so again a Hofner variation. This was great fun and we played well but we've played too little this year. Not sure why, but probably to some degree a function of self-promotion. Despite this blog, we are not too good at that. Like my alter-ego studio band, The Pots, with its few monthly listeners. I notice lots of other players, often well regarded or with significant musical history with just a few monthly listeners like my The Pots. A mate from a schooldays band who went on to play with the best in Australia and toured OS contacted me this week and his albums have a similar listener base. But this was a good night out, some drinks and food, some nice bass solos and grooves and for me that's the purpose of all this anyway, at least after so many years.
Tilt Trio played at Old Canberra Inn. Richard Manderson (tenor) sat in with James Woodman (piano), Eric Pozza (bass) and Dave McDade (drums).
