I JUST TALKED TO KELLY GARNI. OH MY GOD.

Post by Rhoadsette »

Facebook is truly a wonderful thing.
I just talked to Kelly freakin' Garni.
I was really suprised, he's a really nice guy and not self centered at all.!
I posted this on his wall:

"Oh my gosh, you actually accepted my friend request.
I'm a really big fan of yours. I think you're one the most underrated bassists ever. :)
(And I'm insanely jealous that you worked with Randy Rhoads.)
But yeah, I just wanted to say Hi, because it's not everyday that a freakin' rockstar adds me on facebook :)"


He didn't reply to the post, but instead messaged my inbox.! Here's what he said:

"Hi Brittany, thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad someone noticed my playing. I'm the only bass player in the world that Randy taught, so I have much to live up to! Hopefully, we can meet someday. Feel free to write me with any questions!"

So, in my fit of happiness, I replied:

"What an amazing way to start my day; a message from THE Kelly Garni. Haha.!
And it's really not a problem; I like dissecting individual songs to hear the different parts. (I'm such a dork.)
I'm a musician myself, so would it be alright if I were to send you little recordings and junk and have you critique them.? I'm a total rookie, but some constructive critisizm would do me good :)"


but then he replied again~:

"Yes! Please send me your music, I will be glad to listen to it. And let you know what I think


Literally, I was so happy I just about cried xD

Yeah, Kelly is a cool guy... my son thinks it's SO cool that I've been to his studio... even though he was there, too. He was 5 and can't remember it.
