Let It Roll!

Lucky I'm so busy writing and editing at work, otherwise I think I'd go crazy.

Anders, Bob, Mike and I are all fit to burst. In the past few weeks we've jammed with some interested bass players, but nobody has leapt out as being the man (or woman) for the job. And it's only been jamming, no real working on tunes. I think the highlight of last week was that I broke my first guitar string in public. I'd like to work on my guitar skills and play a little in the band.

I also saw that Boog, our old guitarist's new band is playing in town this weekend. Stand back, here come The Boogiemen! I hear they're good. I'd expect them to be. I'll have to drag the boys down there for a listen. It'd be great for the new boys to sit in if they could.

Hopefully our situation will resolve tomorrow. I renewed my membership of the Muso's club last week, and booked it out for a private jam/practice session. We're expecting a couple of highly rated bassists to come along, one recommended by Leo Ladell, and another who's been playing in the Otago University Capping Show with Bob, so the anticipation is high.

Even if the bass players don't work out, the four of us are just eager to really cut loose together for the first time, rather than be constrained by a pub jam night.

Feelers are out for gigs and we've had a couple of positive responses - we can do it as soon as we get this beast together.

Come On, Come On, Come On!
