December briefing
We had another practice session today, albeit without Nancy as she wasn't too well. We've been having 40'C plus for the last couple days, so at 33'C and humid was a day to get your health back.
Anyway, it was good fun. Jammed away for a few new songs, Zeppelin, Floyd, Beatles and John Foggerty covers = did pretty good. Should fit a few in the repertoire by next time we play. The foggerty song was resonant with some Ramones I've been listening to recently, an interesting correlation and proof to my mind of the musical significance of the Ramones - pop and punk and rocknroll all in one.
Anyway - we are yet to confirm a pre christmas gig, possibly at Rosewater FC. Will do all we can to let you know if we confirm it. And there's a hint of a mid-north 'ashes' tour sometime next year. We'll let you know about that also.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch ...

Getting (it) back together
At rehersal on Sunday we all played together again as a band for the first time in three months. Really, more of a structured jam than a rehersal, it was nice to actually be doing it again. Even at our worst, we weren't that bad. There's a lot of derusting required, but that won't take longer than another session (or, at the most, two). And what we pulled off was more than sufficient for entertainment value.
Which is the baseline in this game.
