March 12, 2008 - Gearing Up for Spring

Greetings, y'all! I gotta tell you, I'm darn tired of being cold, OK? I love my community, but there are times when I *hate* the cold. Look, I don't mind snow in winter. But it's March, OK? It's time for budding trees, singing birds, flowers emerging from winter hiding. It is most decidedly NOT time for snowball fights and hot chocolate. Well, maybe the hot chocolate.

Thankfully, the temperature is once again above the freezing mark, and the snow is almost gone. And I've got my fingers crossed that it will stay away until later in the year. Much later, thank you.

Other than that, however, it's been a great week. On the Deeper Blues side of things, we're still dealing with the Danville Foodstock benefit. Last night Jill and I (Jill is our manager and Executive Producer of the benefit) spent several hours putting together the Thank You letters for all the sponsors and performers... more than 60 of them all told. It kind of hit us just how big this thing had become. Even better, every sponsor and every group has committed for the next one. Best of all, we've been asked to produce another, much larger event at the end of the summer or early fall. This time around, they want to do an all-day outdoor event, with something like ten hours of music. We're now scheduling our first full meeting to begin planning.

Below are a few more shots from the event:

A plea to help us feed babies!

Drummer James kept the groove nice and deep. In the foreground are two of the bags of raffle tickets. Each gift basket was raffled separately.

At left, half-hidden by the curtain is Bob Stevens. At right, face glued to a camera, is Joshua Berardi of Moscato Images.

A little info on the folks in that last shot. Bob is a on old friend of Gary's, and an avid fan of the band. He recently became part of our crew, filling several roles. First, he's our guitar/bass tech and helps us make sure everything runs smoothly. Second, he's the band's Official Historian, and has already amassed an amazing collection of memorabilia, including song lyrics, production notes, rough mixes and the like. Finally, he's our Research Department, combing the web and other sources for info we need for various projects. And we so appreciate everything he does for us!

Joshua Berardi is new to the team, and works with our Official Photographers Kristie and Jeremy Sparling of image i. I was really hoping we'd get a shot of Joshua sliding across the stage to get yet another great shot, but so far, no luck. I'm sure he'll be in the video, though. Anyway, he and his wife April did a fantastic job, and his on-stage antics resulted in bestowing a new nickname on him. Henceforth, he shall be known as Slider. So it is written; so let it be done!

These are just two of the people who are helping Deeper Blues mount its campaign for Global Domination. And with people like this on our side, that's not as far-fetched a goal as it might seem.

On the Eden side of things, David is in Germany for this year's MESSE trade show. So are a bunch of other people. So, while the cat's away, the mice will... er, keep working. Yeah, that's it. I'll keep my nose to the grindstone, my ear to the ground and my eye on the ball... and my hand in the Advil, which I'll need after contorting into that position. Seriously, I'm tying up loose ends and moving forward on a couple of projects that David's going to want to review first thing Monday.

We also just confirmed the timing for a clinic at L & M Music, in Chattanooga, TN. And I bet half of you are humming that song right now! BUSTED! This time around, we'll have Very Special Guest Sean O'Bryan Smith, as well as my band Deeper Blues. In addition to my normal bag of Eden swag, we'll be bringing T-shirts, CDs and more from Deeper Blues and Sean. It all happens Saturday, April 5th, starting at 4:30PM. Of course, we'll all be there early if you want to come hang out beforehand. And you can check all the details on the Events page.

In other news, the Practice Tip of the Week turns three today. That's over 150 tips to help you get more out of your practice time. I gotta say, coming up with so many short tips has been a challenge, and I think it's made me a better teacher. Based on e-mail I receive, it's been a help to a lot of bass players, and it's great to know we've been able to help so many. The really surprising thing is that so many have requested a book of them! So, I'm now working to make that happen. More news as it develops.

Well, that's about all I have time for today. It's time now for another cuppa and a short break to gaze at the lake from my balcony. Being able to do this from time to time really helps me clear my head and get ready for the next task. So... coffee.... gazing... breathing. Until next time,

Keep Thumpin'!

March 19, 2008 - On the Road Again

Greetings, all! I'm actually writing this Monday, as tomorrow I leave to a training trip. I'll be in Utah, training the Musician's Friend staff. Six sessions in one day. That's got to be worth at least a gallon of coffee. I'll get to see exactly four places -- the airport, the hotel, the MF building, and the restaurant next to the hotel. Then, it's back home early Thursday morning and back to work for me.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to go up to Mundelein next week, but we're going to try to make it happen. I missed my last trip due to a snowstorm and the flu. Then David left for MESSE (last week) and this week he's in China, inspecting the facilities there, along with our senior technician Dale. I've cautioned him to canel the side trip to Tibet this time around.

Don't know if you've noticed, but we've moved the time of the Chattanooga clinic up by a half hour. Now it's 4-5:30PM; we did that so we'd have a little time afterwards, but before the store closes, to hang around. (More info here.) We're also working right now to nail down a time for another clinic on Friday, April 4, in Nashville. If all goes well, we'll be announcing that today as well. If we pull this one off, it's going to be a GREAT hang for those who can make it. See, Sean will be there, along with Roy Vogt, Abe White, David Webb, Andy Neale, and Calvin Barnes. I've got calls into several others, some of whom have already said they'd come if their schedule allowed it. The presentation portion of this one will be SHORT! Then we'll get right to the hang-out part of it all.

What else? Man, I spent the weekend getting Deeper Blues work done. We're pretty close to done with the SonicBids web site, and are sending out the EPK like mad. Gary did a song sampler mp3, and that's been included, and is now also on the MySpace site. Our Ceative Partner, Mike Harper, also completed a short video on Foodstock, which I think will be right down there: (points down there)

One thing that's really blown my mind is hearing the feedback on the CD from my fellow endorsers, and others I know in the industry. It's been very gratifying, to say the very least, and it lets me know I was right to wait until I found just the right people to do this project with. I know that, a lot of times, we have to compromise when it comes to taking gigs, especially those who work as freelancers. We may not care for the music all that much, or the keyboard player is a real pain...whatever. And when you're freelancing, sometimes you have to go along to get along and just make the rent check, you know?

But when it comes to choosing PARTNERS for a long-term project, especially one that focuses on original music, I think it's worth waiting and/or searching for the right people. I waited for almost 13 years since my last project as band leader, and while it was sometimes difficult to be patient, it certainly was worth the wait. Gary is not only my guitarist and partner, he's now my closest friend. And his son (James, our drummer) and wife (Jill, now Exec. VP of our management company) are like my own family. It goes FAR beyond the music... and for this band, that's saying a lot, as the music is so personal and emotional. Thing is... when you're spending so much time with people, especially when you hit the road, it's important to know you can get along in the very long run. I sure as heck don't want to be switching members every few years, you know?

Something else that I've gotten some emails on is why we're doing this whole thing the way we are...self-produced, self-managed, and promoting just like a lot of you readers -- via MySpace, YouTube and such. While it's true that we could have shopped the CD to labels, and could shop the band to management, we're not willing to give up the large slice of pie that those companies would want to have at this early stage in the game. Instead, we're building on our own and looking forward to the day that we can keep a fairer share, as we don't expect this to be some fahugemous pie in the long run. It's not like Deeper Blues is going to rule the world or anything... we're not going to be megastars like U2 or some such.

Although I gotta admit that would be sort of cool. The whole star treatment, and getting in to all the right clubs and restaurants without reservations, and knowing your preferred brand of bottled water is going to be in the dressing room (I said Disani, damn you!), and all the brown M&Ms have been removed. But then again, you have to deal with pappanazis from the National Intruder taking grainy telephoto shots of you showing your back hair on the beach and stuff like that. All in all, I'll just be happy to tour the band and sell some CDs and stuff. Personally, I'd rather sell a tenth as many CDs and make ten times the money on each.

Now, don't get me wrong. We're already talking to one label about doing the next CD with them. And we're working with promoters and booking agents around the country, and also in Europe and a few other places. I'm just saying that we want to maintain more control in the beginning so the whole thing doesn't get away from us. If you're not careful, next thing you know it's all about the business and not so much about the music. And that's just now what this band is all about. Music first. Spread the message second. Make some money third. And, with the way things are going right now, I think we're on a good road, and there's some really cool stuff to look forward to.

OK. Enough words out of me for the week. I'm off to rehearsal, then a management meeting, then a video meeting. Then more work for Eden as I prepare for my trip. Tomorrow, I'm out of here mid-afternoon...hopefully landing somewhere in Utah before midnight. Until next time,

Keep Thumpin'!

March 26, 2008 - More Traveling

Hey, all! Actually, this week, I'm home and furiously at work. But next week, I'm gone for several days on a clinic trip. Then, the following week, I'm down in Florida for a LOT of training at Sam Ash stores, as well as at their web-store facility. And a clinic. Notice a pattern here?

Thing is, David and I have been hankering to get out to the stores more, both for training and to interact with users...meaning, clinics and meet-n-greets. And this year, it looks as if we'll get our wish, at least to some extent. And now that Deeper Blues guitarist Gary Jones is endorsing Randall and Washburn (in addition to Eden), we'll be promoting up to three brands at each clinic. That means three times the fun, and three times the swag!

So far, we've got three clinics nailed down for April - the 4th at Sam Ash in Madison, TN (Nashville area), the 5th at L&M Music in Chattanooga, TN, and the 10th at Sam Ash in Tampa, Florida. The first two are with Deeper Blues; the third one is with Vince Genella, a solo instrumental guitarist that does Randall presentations. At the Madison event, we'll also have at least 6 other Eden endorsers on hand for a meet and greet after the "official" clinic. Basically, we're going to hang out until the kick us out! Sean O'Bryan Smith, Abe White, Roy Vogt, Andy Neale, Calvin Barnes and David Webb have already committed to being there, and there are about ten others we've contacted. We'll just have to see who's in town, you know?

Check the Events page for more details... and y'all come! Bring your guitarist(s) so he/she/they can check out Gary's new Randall MTS double rig. Bring your drummer so James will have someone to talk to. Just bring everybody, OK?

As I've mentioned, David has been traveling the last two weeks. He's back now, and he sent me a few shots from the MESSE trade show in Germany.

This is the small stage on which the amp demos took place. Notice the new WTX-powered, neo-driven combo. It RAWKED!

The Nemesis sign was big enough to be seen in Amsterdam, I think.

David, flanked by bass demonstrators Julian and Hartmut.

David said the show was very successful, and he got to meet up with a lot of people. And, as I understand it, there's some very good news coming soon. I'd tell you now, but I'd have to kill you...then I'd have to find a place for all your Eden gear somewhere in my closet or something. So... at least let me clean out some space before we talk, OK? Then there's dealing with the body... and calling a Cleaner to get rid of the blood... and, you know what? Let's just forget the whole idea. Instead, we'll just wait until David says I can say something.

Another cool thing to look forward to is more video on the Eden web site. Yes, we've been listening and now we're doing something about it. We're reaching out to all of our endorsers and inviting them to provide content for the site. In additon, it looks as if we'll be producing more video in-house. I can't talk too much about this aspect yet, but we're in serious budget and scheduling meetings, so that's a REALLY good sign. (See, when coroporate types start talking seriously about budget and stuff like that there, it means they're really considering the project. They don't talk money unless it's important. If they know they don't want to spend it, why talk? It's not like they have a blog to fill or anything...)

So, anyway... this week we've installed a Video page. We'll also be posting the vids on other pages as appropriate - like on an artist's page and such... but the main page will host ALL the videos in a single place to make it easy to find all of them. So far, it looks as if we'll have content in the following categories:

Lessons - Craig Harris of Cirque du Soleil has already submitted some lesson clips, and we'll be producing others as the opportunities present themselves. I've also been asked to do some Practice Tip videos to go along with our Weekly Practice Tip column.

Rig Videos - we've already got a handful of these, and hope to do more as time permits.

Blog Videos - these are your basic "here I am and this is what's going on in my life" kind of thing. I've already begun conversations with several endorsers about these.

Music Videos - this is one that's going to take some time, but I'd REALLY love to have some of these so folks can see and hear what our endorsers are doing.

Tips -- on practicing, gear, rehearsing, getting a gig, all kinds of stuff...

Other - the Catch-All category. This is where we put everything that doesn't fit anywhere else. EXAMPLE: I get together with John the Barbarian, an endorser and Edenite, and we put all of our gear together and show others how to demolish buildings with low notes. Useful stuff like that.

So...did I miss anything? Well, actually, yes, I did. But that's because the discusions about budget and stuff aren't done yet. As soon as they are, however, I plan on hitting the ground at a dead run. More on this as it develops, OK?

On the Deeper Blues end of things, we've been plesantly surprised at the number of sales on CD Baby. See, we're not advertising at all that we're selling through them. The reason for this, to be blunt, is that we make more money selling physical copies through our own store. It only makes sense to drive customers to the outlet that pays best. And yet, even though we aren't advertising it, we're regularly selling CDs to an international community. So far we've sold to Canada, Brazil, Australia, Japan, Mexico, France, Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands, U.K., and, of course, the US. Watching the sales, two things stand out:

1. People are seriously interested in new music. And they're searching outlets like CD Baby to find it.

2. They tell their friends. We've seen numerous instances in which we've sold a single copy in a country, then sold more copies within a week.

Now, if a Blues band from the middle of nowhere (OK, middle of the midwest, but does that sound any better, I ask you?) can attract an international audience *outside* of their own marketing channels, you can do it, too. Use every available sales outlet, not just one. Even though you drive traffic to a single outlet, the others can help you bring a few extra sales and introduce you to new fans.

OK, that's about it for this week. I'm off for a second cup of mud, then I start flippinig files over to Web Guru Bill for upload. And we have a LOT of work to do today. Hope you enjoy the vids page, and thanks for your patience as we worked this out. I'll be back next week with a pre-trip report. Until then,

Keep Thumpin'!

April 2, 2008 - Clinic Time!

So, I've actually been writing this since last Thursday... just dropping stuff in as I think about it. But it's now Wednesday morning and I'm going over the whole thing to check spelling and make sure the jokes are funny (well, at least to me...). If this whole thing seems a bit disjointed, it's because it is. You know what I mean...

Last Wednesday night, I got to do my sister a favor. A musician and vocalist herself, Kathye appreciates good music, especially if it isn't deafening. She and husband John recently relocated to the Annapolis area. OK, so, Mark Egan called me a while back and asked me to assist placing an Eden at a gig he'd be doing with Larry Coryell at the Ram's Head in... you guessed it!... Annapolis. Now, Mark's a good friend, and just an absolute sweetheart of a person. So, after I made sure I could get him a rig, and even helped set up an amp for Larry, then and only then did I ask him if he could get a pair of tickets for my sister. And, Mark being who he is, was all for it.

After getting the go-ahead from Mark, I called my sister to make sure she could attend. And she could and was VERY excited about it! Then, she pipes up and says, "what a GREAT birthday present! Thank you!" And I'm all, "uhm, uh, yeah, that's right! Happy Birthday!"

I had to fess up... I'm NO good at lying, especially to family. They just know me too well, you know? But we had a good laugh over it... and a few weeks later, she got to see a superb show. Mark even took time to come meet Kathye and John, and sat with them "for a good while", according to my sister. She agrees wholeheartedly with my assesment of Mark, and he said they were fun to meet and interesting. So... whew! I didn't tick anyone off... and everyone had a great time. And I might have gotten a Brownie Point or two out of it from Sis.

Mark Egan with Larry Coryell at the Ram's Head in Annapolis.

Mark Egan helps Lane get some brownie points from sister Kathye.

And, by the way... if you haven't heard Mark live, you really, REALLY need to check him out. He's awesome, no matter who he's playing with.

Speaking of awesome fretless players, Deeper Blues is just a day or two away from heading south for the clinics in Chattanooga and Madison (near Nashville). Sean O'Bryan Smith will be joining us on-stage at the Chattanooga bash, and will be one of several Bass Bros at the Madison hang. Just yesterday, his new solo CD hit the download shop, so check out his blog for the link and check it out. SMOOTH TIE-IN -- Mark Egan said REALLY nice things about the CD, by the way... and Sean is still wearing a face-splitting grin. I'll fix that when I hand him the check at dinner.

Others that have promised to be there include some great friends -- Abe White, Roy Vogt, Dave Webb, John Billings, Calvin Barnes and Andy Neale. I'm still waiting to hear from a few others, as well. So, if you're anywhere near the Nashville area, be sure to check it out. Of course, if you're in Chattanooga the next day, you can catch Sean blazing away with Deeper Blues. That's going to be a blast, especially since I got a couple of referee flags to throw in case of too many notes or some such. (Sean knows about the flag; he *doesn't* know that there are actual penalties and stuff. And since he never reads a thing I write, even my emails, he won't see this here and y'all are in on the laugh early. Heh.)

So, I'm now waiting for the shop to call and tell me my van is ready. Remember the dead deer I hit back in October? Yeah, well I do. Am finally getting the struts replaced; already put new tires on the front end, so we'll be all ready for the trip. There's nothing worse than having parts fall off your vehicle while on an interstate several hundred miles from home. MUCH better to fix stuff before you leave, right?

Anyway, I'll be back next week with a follow-up to the clinics. Word is, I might even have a video or two. Again, if you can make it out, I'd love to meet you! Until then,

Keep Thumpin'!

Lane on Bass...

PS - This just in! I just got the confirmation/approval email -- we will be taking videographer Mike Harper on the trip with us. He's agreed to shoot some footage and produce a trio of videos on the clinics in exchange for all he Mountain Dew he can drink. So, cool! CTV -- Clinic Television. LB

April 9, 2008 - More Travel

Hey, y'all!! Hope you're doing better than my laptop. Although my computer has made it through numerous flights with no trouble whatsoever... and it was packed with all sorts of cushioning, they say it's all my fault. OK, fine. No more flights on your cheap-suit airline, then.

Other than that, the trip is going very well. Today, vince Genella (he's the Randall Product specialist) and I visited a pair of Sam Ash stores for training. The sales rep, Randy Shamber, also did Washburn training. All's well that ends well on that front, and tomorrow, we head over to the web facility for a day of sessions there. Thursday, more training during the day, and a clinic at night. See the Events page for details on that, and come on down, OK?

Last week's clinics went very well. Totally cool to hang with so many Nasvhille Cats, and was a great store to boot! then, down to L&M in chattanooga for some SERIOUS fun with Sean O'Bryan Smith. For some reason, Sean was certain I was kidding about the flags and all. He about died when I threw a flag for Personal Foul - Too Many Notes. But he was way into the whole thing... laughing as he picked up his other bass and proceded to let loose a barrage of notes. Basically, "I got your flag right here, fellah." The crowd got a big laugh and so did we.

You need to know - Sean is a MONTSER!!! The cat just plays his face off, and is an extremely fun showman to watch. If you get a chance to see his solo show, definitely check it out. And if he's working behind someone else, go see that show, too, as Sean has a Groove as deep and wide as the Grand Canyon.

I hate to do this, but I'm going to cut this short. I can barely see to type because of the extreme damage done to my computer. I'm very hopeful that I'll be able to replace it next week when I'm up in Mundelein. When I get home, I'll be able to do a longer entry and fill you in on some stuff. Until then, however, we'll just need to

Keep Thumpin'!

April 16, 2008 - My Cats Hate Me

Greetings, Thumpers. It's true. My cats officially hate me. They're sick and tired of me leaving them for days on end. No one to pet them. No one to untangle their favorite toys. No one to attack at three in the morning just for fun.

Actually, I think it's the opposite. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that. (This never worked for me with female HUMANS, mind you, but that's a different story.) When I returned home last Friday night, they fairly attacked me, screaming "where the $&%^ have you been?" and twining around my legs. As soon as I sat down, I had two fuzzy babies in my lap competing to see who would be petted first. Ah... home...

The trip -- Southwest Airlines notwithstanding -- went really, really well. Of course, it's not easy overcoming a destroyed laptop, especially when the airline in question has about as much sympathy as...well, never mind. Point is, they couldn't have cared less. I could almost hear the woman laughing and thumbing her nose at me. Not only that, but trying to pre-board with them is one of the most negative experiences I've ever had with an airline. Ya know, if you don't want people to preboard, don't offer them the option. Because if you do, someone like me, who has a badly damaged shoulder, just might take you up on it. (This is the point where I'd normally make a joke involving seriously illegal activity on a plane...except that, nowadays, I'd get hauled off to Gitmo, or at least into the back room with several TSA agents and a rubber hose. So I'll let this Humor Opportunity slide.)

And what's with the Cattle Call seating deal? Does this really save them any money? OK, fine, they don't have to assign actual seats, but it takes thirty minutes to explain it all and get everyone where they need to be. Then, when your group is called it's all like "GO!" and everyone jostles and shoves trying to get to a decent seat before the other fifty people do. And they wanted to know why I requested pre-boarding so my shoulder wouldn't get trashed by the other... uhm... cattle.

Anyway, Southwest sucks.

I'm just sayin'...

Funny thing (funny as in weird, not ha-ha, that was good) is that it took several days for me to realize my WTX260 was directly on top of the laptop when it took the hit. My roller got hit so hard that it destroyed the laptop screen and yet the WTX worked perfectly all week long. And coming home, it made it through all sorts of extra screening and x-rays and whonose what else? Poor TSA guy was scared to DEATH over that little box. (Insert joke here.) But he let me take it on the plane, albeit with great hesitation.

Anyhoo... did I mention how much I hate Southwest Airlines?

Now, because of a certain (Southwest) airline, I wasn't able to do a decent entry last week, so let me catch you up a bit. April 4th and 5th, Deeper Blues did a pair of clinics in Tennessee. We took videographer Mike Harper with us to document the trip. Below is a shot I took on the way to Madison for the first clinic. We were at our first rest stop when Mike pulled out a camera and did a quick round of interviews.

Mike Harper tapes a short interview with Gary Jones, while son (and drummer) James looks on.

As always, the folks at the Sam Ash store were great! They had a small stage already cleared, except for drums they'd set up for James. Load-in was a breeze, then we were off for some food. We ate at a little franchise joint across the street -- Bar-B-Cutie's. The place started out as a family restaurant back in the day, but has now begun to offer franchises around the country. The pulled pork ROCKED, and the combination of hot and sweet sauces made for an excellent meal.

The stage at Sam Ash, Madison

Even with extremely short notice and some serious rain (with tornado warning!) that kept most Nashvillians in hiding, we had a nice crowd. We also had an entire herd of Eden endorsers. Abe White, Sean O'Bryan Smith, Calvin Barnes, Andy Neale, John Billings, Bob Marinelli and David West all showed up to hang. Bob even brought his famous cookies with him...for which we are exceedingly grateful. But the Iron Man award goes to Roy Vogt, may his basses always stay in tune! See, Roy got food poisoning at lunch earlier that day. And he STILL came! He looked like he was one step from collapsing, but he hung with us as long as he could. We basically had to MAKE him go home. I've got to say, it's that kind of commitment that makes me proud as all get-out to call Roy one of my bestest friends.

I'll go a step further down that road and just say that I'm totally grateful to be included among such fine folks as our endorsers. I appreciate every one of my brother and sister endorsers, and all the effort they contribute.

Either these three are begging for change, or they're bass players. (L-R) Abe White, David Webb and Bob Marinelli hang outside during a break.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the L&M Music clinic. BUT! There's a video, and more coming. Take a look below for a short overview of the weekend.

We got home in the middle of the night on Sunday. The very next day, I flew down to Orlando to meet up with Vince Genella, the Randall clinician. (Did I mention that Southwest Airlines is HORRIBLE?) Here's a couple of shots of Vince.

Randall clinician and solo artist Vince Genella explains the MTS modular system.

Vince shreds on his custom Parker.

And here's one of me to prove I was really there:

In addition to the clinic, Vince and I trained staff at several Sam Ash stores, as well as at the dot com phone bank. As always, the SA folks were totally cool to work with, and payed close attention to the training. I love that stuff...

So...fly home Friday, then do a lot of nuthin'! I'm serious. For the first time, I actually turned off the cell phone for most of the weekend and slept as much as possible. Then I spent my time reacquainting with my cats, and working on Deeper Blues stuff. Tomorrow evening I head up to Mundelein. I'll be in the factory Wednesday, then driving home that night. The next morning, I'm off to a Secret, Undisclosed Location and won't be back until late next Monday. Don't ask. If I tell you, I have to take away your Eden rig... which is worse than killing you, I think. If all goes well, I'll tell you about in the future. If not, we'll pretend this conversation never happened.

(You haven't seen me, I haven't been here. You know n-o-t-h-i-n-g.)

OK. Enough for this week. You might notice that I wrote this in advance. That's so I actually get it done. That's my new plan... to get things done. Man, I even have my expense report completed already. Accounting is going to appreciate that, I'm sure. Anyhoo... until next time, you know what to do, right? Yep... just

Keep Thumpin'!
