I had never heard of this project until now. Was it going to be a speedway for a possible NASCAR stop? Drag Racing? I used to go to the NHRA races in Sonoma and always had a blast.
I would remove Pittsburgh and Vikings. Pittsburgh won't part with Tomlin, no matter how bad the team is, and I can't see Daboll wanting to work with Cousins.
TV Watching with my wife is in the evenings, and it's normally programs like Selling New York and Restaurant Impossible. We're big junkies on real estate, home improvement (or restaurant improvement) shows.
For sure you can. I would have to play it since it's been quite a while but it's like C#/D flat beginning. It's repetitive, but really builds up the left hand strength.
Lots and lots of practice. Both with the band and individually. If you want to build up left hand strength on the bass. play Billie Jean over and over. Surprisingly it's a bear to play due to the hand stretching that occurs on that song.
