Here are some pictures from our clinic at Saddleback yesterday. I took the pics so there are none of me this time. I’ll make this short because we are on our way out the door to Tropical now for our Trio/2 Bass Band double-bill. This should really be fun.
Ratzo and Billy were both really great – totally articulate and encouraging. I think it was a very good clinic.
We also got to play trio for a while, and we tried a new setup with Billy behind me and Ratzo by the piano. As I suspected, it didn’t work well to have Ratzo and Billy so far apart. Maybe tonight we’ll try it with both of them behind me. The problem is sometimes I can’t hear Billy that well. I never thought I’d say that about a drummer, but better that way than the opposite, which is more typical!
