Richard forgets that everytime we set up for practice after a show......I find it pretty funny ed —Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? |

I forgot a couple of times during gigs, but the worst was during staright to 2 track recording. Found out after everything was done for the day. And I wondered why my reverb crash (that came from a kick that rolled the unit to the floor) wasn't as good as it should have been. — |

I fell for the "Hey! I just got this Reverb Unit...how come it sound so crappy?" routine. I finally turned it around and looked in back...voila! big "duh!" moment, |

Along those lines, when we play the Saturns Voyage Around the Moon it requires a drop D tuning that I sometimes forget to tune back to E. It doesn't take long to realize that clam upon the start of the next song. — |

Yep - done that as well - several times. It's quite re-assuring that everyone else does these things. I was beginning to suspect the early onset of senility. —http://www.myspace.com/thepashuns Youth and enthusiasm are no match for age and treachery. |

I was going to post the same thing until I scrolled down and read yours. I do it all the time. I even write on the set list 'TUNE BACK UP TO E!' —Danny Snyder Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF |

Yup Danny, perhaps I need to write it down as well. I have the detuning notation on my set list, but not the other way around. However, the scowl our bass player shoots me when I forget is almost worth the screwup. — |

i also fell for this when i first got my fender RI unit. i plyaed that thing for over an hour before i realized why it sounded like the reverb on my Twin. also, i had the drop d tuning experience in highschool while playing Wipeout, no less. we played a foo fighters song( Tim |
) just before that and i was telling the drummer to stop but he just shook his head and said were not stopping. i had to tune up while everyone else was playing their parts. back then that was a big deal. i was proud of myself for being able to get it back in tune with all that other noise around.Please visit our friends in the surf music community:
