I learned every country song in one day.
Hah! I learned every Polka song on earth in 20 minutes!
And with that experience I transitioned to Klezmer effortlessly.
I learned every country song in one day.
Subbing for a Tina Turner tribute show. About 25 songs to learn in a week, but what made it particularly nerve-wracking was that the whole thing was on click because there were some pre-recorded musical parts and synchronized visuals, and virtually no gaps between songs, so really it was more like learning two hour-long, very complicated songs, and a single mistake would have ruined the whole thing.
I'm sure it would have been nothing to someone with more experience at that sort of gig, but it was one of the hardest gigs I've ever done! Fortunately, I nailed it, and was asked to take over as the main drummer for the show, but declined (it was fun, but not enough to want to do it over and over...).
