Playing for sheer fun

We had one of our regular, if not frequent, band 'practices' yesterday. Sadly, Nancy had to pull out at the last moment so it was just the guys. Last time this happened the results might have been fun, but probably not too good on the ear. This time Chris was probably the 'lead' singer, and he was pretty good considering...

We warmed up with 'Wipeout' (no vocals to scare us off) and then got stuck into almost three hours of rock. Not being too picky (except in areas of structure) we just played for the fun of the moment. Or, at least, I did. I think we all kicked back in our own way and just forgot about the gig just around the corner or the dictates of publican's prejudices or the absence of a 'manager' and just got into the music.

Not that it won't be great to get back into playing in public, but it's great not to also.

Don't forget, The Negotiators Duo (click here here or here for pix from another country gig they did) play this Friday night (20 April) at Burra, usual start time (about 8pm).
