Back to Blogging
Alright, I have some stuff to blog ’bout so I’m going to get back on it.
Here’s the recent happenings:
We have a weekly jam session happening every Thursday night at Bada Bean coffee shop on 1300 S 500 E. It’s been pretty fun. I’ve enjoyed being able to get my old man buddies together with my new school mates. The hard part about a jam session is it can be difficult to maintain momentum. The first time the session goes down as a bass-drums-alto sax trio can be pretty discouraging. We missed the piano last week. Hopefully that was a one-time thing. We’ll see.
I have a rock band. No name yet, but it’s a bunch of good players, everybody’s excited to get going. So far we’ve had some really good rehearsals and just a touch of the usual band-friction. Like, it seems like we all want to play slightly different styles… I say “Fine, let’s play different styles.” Currently the priority is to get a bunch of covers of good dancing music together to take into the clubs. We’ll deal with the rest later.
I have an audition with a band with a very light rehearsal schedule. They have a bunch of tunes that they already know and are replacing the drummer. Should be a pretty easy pick up for me. I’ll write about how it goes.
