Getting Along With Your Soundman

By: Scott Wooward, Bass Player, Voodoo Cowboys One of the most important guy’s at your show is the soundman. He can literally make or break the show for you. This is a guy you want to make friends with at all cost. Be cooperative and be respectful. He’s there to help you, consider him as a member of the band and help him help you. Try and keep your stage volume down. Try to speak to him one at a time. Nothing is worse than when the whole band is asking him to change something at the same time. Also remember he can’t perform miracles, If you stink he can’t fix it

Music, Physics and Engineering

By: Gerry Yozzo, Voodoo Cowboys Guitarist

Two areas of interest I have always been obsessed with are music and science. It seems like only yesterday that I took formal piano lessons in the 4th grade and was designing a project to participate in the elementary school science fair. I remember the 9th grade learning how to play the guitar to the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, Blues Magoos, and Vanilla Fudge. I also remember my days in science class. My teacher hated me because not only was I an attention fetcher, but I never paid attention to him in class, never studied, but always managed to maintain a 95 -98 grade average there. In my early 20s while attending electronic school, I discovered a book titled Music. Physics and Engineering by Harry F Olson. This book is great. It covers everything from sound waves, musical terminology, scales, musical instruments, characteristics of musical instruments, resonators and radiators, room acoustics, sound systems, and electronic music. Although I found most of the mathematical concepts over my head and boring, the sections on music theory were actually discussed in physics terms, and brought a new understanding and conception of the subject matter. One thing for sure, I may know a lot about the building blocks of music theory, and such, but all that knowledge does not automatically make me play any better, only by practicing on the instrument will that happen. But…………I can talk some good sounding shit………lol

Just Because You’re Good….

By Scott Woodward
Just because you’re good doesn’t mean you’re going to work as a musician. Talent is part of it but it’s not all there is to the game. You have to look, sound and plain just out do the other bands. You must put on a show and be entertaining. Just standing on stage and playing your instrument is not going to cut it. These are the days when people are use to watching videos and want to see more than just some people standing around, they want to be entertained. After all is called a show for a reason.
