Well, it seems that my excitement about the Frank Stallone gig has been extinguished. He’s decided to stick with the original band setting without keyboards. Needless to say, I’m really disappointed.
It was exciting for a while and then it became more stressful than fun. Trying to learn over 20 songs in a short time frame will do that. I sent Frank this video of me playing with the live track a couple of days ago to show him how my arpeggios were coming along on the instrumental section of “Far From Over”. You’ll just have to squint and imagine what it would have looked like in August, or just come to a gig when I form my amazing Frank Stallone tribute band.
