Tuesday at Rehearsal
Private location, Hyattsville, MD

Familiar Faces
At rehearsal tonight, were Donnell, Nephew, Doc, Dwayne, DP, BJ, Duane Face, Godfather, Adia, Mike, and Jeff.

They spent a while going over John Legend's Prelude / Let's Get Lifted. Then they worked on a three song melody: Tom Tom Club's Genius of Love, Rare Essence's Spotlight and Vinnie D's $55 Motel. After that, Jeff asked to go over the "choo choo song". They laughed and asked for more details - it turned out to be Rare Essence's What N*gga What?. Adia told him not to worry, the rest of them don't know what Donnell is saying anyway. They practiced that and they were done.

I talked with Duane Face about a book called Bass Grooves by Ed Friedland that has a section on playing GoGo.
