Adventures With Ayah 3 - Revival (part I)

A couple months after my friends wedding, Thompson lets me know that Ayah would like us to support her for her tour kick off at the Revival on Nov 6, 2008. As per usual with any artist that is great to play for, I received the tunes to learn early, giving me plenty of time to prepare.

The day of the show arrives and it is going to be a busy one for me. I had to unload at the Revival, then go to church band practice in Mississauga, and then come back for the show. I would normally skip the practice but we were learning the songs for the Christmas services so I had to be there. Ayah then lets me know that Tona will be in attendance and will be performing her single "Pusha Man," which was not on the original list. She asked if I could go on YouTube to watch her music video and come up with a live bass line that would work for it. So I did.

Last Friday I mentioned that some jobs I take contain pleasant surprises. Well this was the song I heard on FLOW back in August (see previous adventure) and I was going to be allowed to make a bassline for it, pretty much on the spot. Here's the video...
