More Social Distancing Fun via the Acapella app. Since the Sting - My Own Music Vegas Residency Show @ Caesar’s Palace that Amy and I have tix for has been postponed....maybe cancelled (May 22nd), I thought it would be cool to do a song from his first solo album.... Dream of The Blue Turtles. Joining me on Moon Over Bourbon Street by Sting are @theladyluna on vocals and My brother from another mother and fellow triplet.... @rhythmman73 on guitar.

Great show seeing Raphael Saddiq at the Tabernacle last night with my lady. @amykelly1445. Forgot to charge my phone the night before so I had about 10% battery left so only got a couple of snippets. I think the lady in front of us pretty much recorded the whole show though. (at Tabernacle Atlanta) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8FwVfop40-/?igshid=1xt7mlltntkni

I transformed my gigantic bass pedalboard to a much easier to carry large bass peddleboard. Basically, I replaced a bunch of pedals with a line 6 HX Stomp. It the Helix, but with only 3 buttons. I keep 3. My ehx 720 Loop (the stomp has a loop but I like this loop a lot. Especially the reverse function. ) I also keep my 2 favorites. The ehx Q-Tron micro envelope filter and the Aguilar Twin Filter. I also replaced my boss tuner with a pedal train space saver tuner. The other stuff on the board are my Tonebone preamp, g50 wireless, and my in-ear system. So far I’m diggin the hx stomp. I especially like the octave effect I have been using. Also pictured, bass #1, aka Nadine. And my back beat that thing makes it feel like I have an 8x10 following me ev#erywhere. Digg! #hxstomp #getbackbeat #laklandbass #electroharmonix (at Mellowsome) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2mc9eLJB-V/?igshid=1ucnkpu6opno7
