This is off topic - couldn't help myself.

I had submitted a volunteer form online a couple of weeks back, to play piano/keys for one of the presidential inauguration balls they will be having here in DC at the end of the month.

Last night, I got an email from the White House - I got selected to play for one of the balls! :)

So stoked - anyways, I had indicated I had a computerized rig and all of that, and I will get to bring X2a to my jam there!  I have some projects set up that I will play along live with, having drums, bass, etc on midi tracks.

I'll try to get a picture of me, the computer screen showing Sonar up and running, and the background of the ball room, and will post it and also send it to the Bakers for their scrap book.

Too cool - had to share, hope the tux and my waistline get along.

Way to go Bob....... I played a gig at the white house once. I think it's closed down now though. Pity used to be a great drinking hole.

Perhaps we're talking different white houses though?

Bob, congratulations!  That's great

Congrats on the gig! I would say send my warmest regards to the folks in that house, but...yeah...I'll keep my mouth shut. I am still waiting on my house, SNAP card and Bama phone...and free health care! (sorry couldn't help myself)

Congrats, Bob!

Woooo  Hooo!  Way to go.  Gongrats!

Would it be bad form to put my Chia Obama on top of my piano, like a bust of Beethoven?

Now you have the chance of a lifetime to ask for personal support or "support" from CW :o) :o)

"You see, I wouldn't like SONAR stalling in front of that audience....the name of the software would slip to the public inevitably.."

Why not just take a keyboard and an iPod?

Better yet... the ballroom might actually have a piano.

You may just need the iPod.


best regards,

Great stuff Bob!!

You don't the that type of gig very often.
