OK so I'm out with the better half last night for dinner and a few beverages at the local pub. After a couple of hours the band for the night kicks in... we moved a bit closer as they were a pretty good outfit.... 4 piece - drummer, keys, guitar and vocalist doing some catchy funk originals so we settled in with the rest of the punters.
So here's the thing.... they didn't have any other instruments other than some horn synth effects the keyboardist used here and there and I'm thinkin man these guys so need horns... so I start hearing little fills here and there that clearly didn't come from the band that slowly worked into backing lines and then solos. I could have sworn if I had my Alto I could have just played right along. I found this really weird as I have tried to play along to different CD's where I dont know the key and failed every time.
Anyone else experienced this before? or will the men in the white van be around to take me away soon
