The Final Piece

Scotty had his first sitdown with the band. It was amazing.

My lacking knowledge in music theory was supplemented and helped by Scotty's vast, almost Wikipedia-like knowledge on rhythm. If someone was having a problem with "Typosgraphy"'s bass or guitar riffs, Scotty would step in and ask, "Can I help?" He would then walk them through my own song, naming things that I never even knew were in my own piece of art. "Yeah, that's in 9/8, you just have to break it down like this and follow Pete's vocals. That's what I do. I'll show you."

He also asked questions regarding all of the little things one of us did wrong in the song. Little intricate parts that I picked up on but didn't necessarily address since I'd rather school the players one on one later, and since it was mainly a focus on the drums at the practice tonight. Scotty made it okay to fix one person's goof with everybody else present.

So . . . both Tim and Scotty are hard contenders . . . but in a conversation with Tim tonight on Facebook, Tim expressed some honest feelings regarding Patch. Long story short, Tim's out by his own accord.

Let's hope Scotty bites . . .
