it’s been about 5 or 6 practices now and we’re still doing good. 2 relatively complete songs, 1 still working, 1 idea to toy around with. probably not show-worthy yet in my opinion but it’ll come with time.
i wonder how you make it in the music world. i was on facebook randomly the other day and i found this one high school classmate who apparently has written several cds worth of material and does a lot of charity events with the band at the tender age of 25 or something. when i listened to the music it was only ok though, nothing spectacular in my opinion. maybe things just have to fall in the right place at the right time.
fame is so far off for us though. i think i’m ok with just doing some small shows for now when we finally get enough original material together. plus, my bigtime moneymaking career which pays me in big sacks of money that i have to wheelbarrow to my car can’t afford me to leave or take that much time off if we ever got big enough to tour.
i tell my friends i have a band practice this coming weekend. more often than not their response is “so…. what the hell are you guys practicing for?” my response is usually a sincere look in the eye, a pat on the shoulder, and a labored whisper: “something awesome my friend… something awesome.”
so keep on waiting… good stuff’s a’comin.
