Title: Dell Paxton said... Post by Brewcrew on Oct 9th, 2007, 5:20pm "...Bands come and go. You gotta keep playin', no matter with who." The Empty Suits are no more. Call it a falling out, call it a difference of opinion on direction, call it whatever you want. But it's cool. This was the first band I participated in over 15 years, and the first one for which I acted as co-founder since middle school. It was a fun two-and-a-half year run, and it got me playing again. For that I am grateful. I have a few other irons in the fire, so stay tuned as to what I'm up to musically. It was fun while it was fun. http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t13/brewcrew2b/Suits4BWquartersize.jpg |

Title: Re: Dell Paxton said... Post by Grandma_Sweet_Boy on Oct 9th, 2007, 7:20pm I'm sorry to hear that your band has gone their separate ways. Maybe you and your son will form another band one day? Carol |

Brew, you handle it well and look back in a good fashion. As long as I've known friends in bands it has been happening, you've mentions some reasons in the fold of why, too. Even as age advances, life obligations take on priorities different than before. Personally, "it was fun while it was fun" has been said by myself of periods in life that ended, and in fact even wanted a tattoo saying "fun 'til it's done". Hell, even the Beatles broke up. :) Good stuff, good times, for great causes -- you've got a lot of great accomplishment and memories there. ;) Congratulations on the band history you've been a part of and the amazing revival together again. you da man, guy. |

Title: Re: Dell Paxton said... Post by Brewcrew on Oct 9th, 2007, 7:54pm Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm actually the one who initiated it. I announced I was leaving, and instead of forming plans to look for a new bass player, within 12 hours the band was history. Carol, while it's a nice sentiment, I've never heard of a band that performs with more than one bass player. Except Spinal Tap, and that was just for one song, Big Bottom: Big bottom, big bottom, Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em. Big bottom, drive me out of my mind. How can I leave this behind?

Title: Re: Dell Paxton said... Post by artonio7 on Oct 9th, 2007, 10:49pm Always at a crossroad, always having to choose, regardless of the choices you find yourself along the journey. Change is good... not often easy but when the growing pains stop we know that we are truely dead. You Bill, are far from dead and have (hopefully) a long and ever changing journey ahead of you. It's all good. with warm regards, Tony |

Dell was one of the characters in That Thing You Do - the older, wiser jazz guy giving out advice to the young up-and-comers in the pop music world. Great movie - rent it if you can. |

Title: Re: Dell Paxton said... Post by kimmiedawn81 on Oct 11th, 2007, 9:14am Sorry to hear about the band....Brian is actually trying to get into a different band since his isn't playing all that much anymore....maybe he should be an empty suit...but he won't move, so maybe they could come to St. Louis... ha ha! Also, the guy on your right looks like Jon Lovitz in that picture. Anybody else see it? Also, I loved That Thing You Do too! Such a good movie! |

Title: Re: Dell Paxton said... Post by Brewcrew on Oct 11th, 2007, 10:52am That's not Jon Lovitz. That's Tommy Flanaygin. He's married to Morgan Fairchild - whom he's seen naked. Yeah, that's the ticket. |

Title: Re: Dell Paxton said... Post by Charlie on Oct 11th, 2007, 6:56pm Actually, ridiculous amplification is worse. It's everywhere. It's not good for your hearing as you get older too. Of course I go days without listening to music of any kind. I love peace and quiet and it's one of the main reasons that I love winter: It's quiet. I think it has something to do with my epilepsy.

'Cept we both play bass. That'd be pretty hard to pull off. Charlie, I know what you mean about wicked insane amplification. It's one of the reasons I left the band. It was too big and out of control, and I don't like being associated with things I can't control. The older I get, the more I listen to things on my iPod like Brahms, Beethoven, Vivaldi, etc. |

I know what you mean. I listen to the Buffalo classical station when I want something emjoyable. I have a few recordings too. I like stuff that lets you function while listening. I listen to lots of stuff when I do. Benny Goodman through 1960s. There are some good newer blues and jazz recordings...don't ask for specifics, I just like them when I can find the stuff I taped. Basically, I have zero rock recordings other than greaser stuff which I remember as a kid. Charlie |

Title: Re: Dell Paxton said... Post by cynjeep89 on Oct 11th, 2007, 9:54pm I know exactly what you mean, Bill. John has tons of recorded music from the 50s and 60s. When we run away in the motorhome for a vacation, it is so great to just sit and listen to some good music. Of course, our neighbors always give us strange looks the next day....guess we sing too loudly. ;;D |
