We just had to keep playing hard. We started trapping the ball and they just threw it away. Our defense really helped our offense.
ball guard guys leadership natural point scoring team worry
Point guard is my natural position. I don't have to worry about scoring as much. It's more of a leadership role, communicating with my team and getting guys the ball where they need it to make plays.

We?re playing as a team and that makes it fun for everyone. It?s a great group of kids. They listen and work hard.
american-musician boost frequency goes helped subtle switch
I think one thing that helped the sound change, it's a real subtle thing; it's just one switch on my bass, it has three positions, and I usually boost the mid-range frequency, I lowered the frequency that I boost, and that goes out to the sound system, too.
american-musician bass fish good hooking lately player sound
Lately Fish and I have been hooking up more, which is a good thing because it's just been a struggle for me as a bass player to play with someone who's so creative on the drums, and lately it's been really good, especially during sound checks.

Terry is a very experienced arts manager and very well educated. He's got a great record at the institutions he was at before. He's a very solid individual. He has a great vision of where the arts should be and what role the arts should play in the community.

We have been trying to play a lot of different kinds of music, and probably the next album will go back more towards the direction where you couldn't classify each song as a certain kind of music. This album you can.
albums bass cry earlier features heard missing several song successful time version
I know in an earlier version he said there was one song that features my bass and guitar. It made him cry every time he heard it; not necessarily because of missing me, but because it was a successful little jam. That was going to be on the album, but I think that may have been several albums ago.
album american-musician might picked
If part of the purpose of making an album is to get some radio play, then you might as well think about that. But that's not really how we picked the songs.
