It's only rock and roll but I like it...

Just an up date on the band and how things are progressing. One thing I did during the week was to buy myself a new mic lead. Thankfully that was all that was needed and not anther microphone. I like decent equipment and just right now I don't have a lot of spare cash for band equipment. We bought a 600 watt Peavy pa amp a few weeks back, that proved a good investment. It's old but good and kicks out the power nicely. A bit like a big V8 engine, gets you there nicely without putting your foot down to the metal.

 

Our goal was to get another four songs down, Black Magic Woman, Before You Accuse Me, Rock and Roll Music and The Promised Land. All good rock n roll that will get your feel tapping even if you don't want to get up and dance.Today though, I just kept tripping over my fingers in the lead to Black Magic Woman, which I can normally play straight off. It was just one of those days.

 

So, another target reached, which is nail down four songs a each rehearsal. We are purposely learning easier songs in our early days, so that we can get a momentum going, we want to get twenty songs down quickly. When we've done that we will go for some that take a bit more effort and maybe only learn two at each practice.

 

The only problem we have now is thinking of a name for the band.

 

Once again, thanks for reading.

Those are some great songs. Good luck with the name.

 

There is a club in San Francisco that I get an email from for upcoming acts called the Independent (I have seen Johnny Winter, Little Feat, Stanton Moore and other acts I like there. The only problem is the floors are so sticky if you stand still too long you become glued in place). However, some of the names of new bands appearing are horrific. I blame it on the education system or not enough drugs.

Off to a great start. Loving the song list so far.

I can relate to you having one of those days. Just seems like it

happens every once in awhile that connect between the brain and

fingers is just not there.

 

Keep that set list coming and good luck with the name. Don't think too

hard on it. Sometimes it just happens.
