My brother's band got a nice review! For those of you who don't want to follow the link, here's the important part:
The band I will name as the official “Steph DeRosa Wintergrass Band of the Night” (SDWBOTN) is Loose Digits.  Thank you guys for not killing us with a banjo.  Thank you also for having facial expression, making eye contact with each other, playing off each other, showing passion, rawness, emotion, and exposing your warm hearts.  With very few lyrical pieces, they expressed thoughts purely through the music. By watching them play, and hearing the flow, you could read what they were saying without having them speak at all.  To Loose Digits I say, “Bravo!”  Thank you for living up to the awesomeness that Wintergrass is all about.

I guess they have a good stage presence. :)

There's a photo of them right above that bit, but of course my brother is the one in the middle with a huge bass and mic stands blocking his face. There's never a good photo of him!

I'm going to PT right now, and then coming back and taking my old gray donkey to the dr. He says he feels better today, but he sounds just as bad if not worse. And it's been almost a week!

Wow, that's a really nice review! Good for him.

There must be something about the bass. I only play a normal sized bass guitar and I'm always in behind someone or something in our stage photos.

I suspect that people who like being bassists tend to be the person in the band who's willing to be a little upstaged by everyone else. The supporters, the backbone of the band. Obviously, even when he's right in the middle he's somehow 'behind.'

Go your brother!

I hope Eeyore feels better-better soon. :(

Hurrah! Lovely write-up, and the author obviously appreciated that the ensemble work together well, which is a definite strength.

And another 'get well soon' to Eor. :-)
