Good To Go

Monday, Jun. 15, 2009 - 1:04 a.m.

Practice went about as well as can be expected Sunday.

Todd The New Lead is an absolute *FIND*. Wow. He really impressed us all.

He's very level headed, eager to learn what needs to be learnt, and has no drama.

I didn't know they still made lead guitarists like this.

The trip over was gorgeous, although I missed the 12:40 ferry and had to take the 2:10 one and as a result of a certain un-named blood-sugar-crashed nutso broad in the car with him who wanted McDonald's Right Goddamned Now, Alan was late getting back home to be there when Todd arrived.

I had made the Brownlee household a pan of cornbread, which I gave to Dee with the assurance that it was intact cornbread when I *packed* it... and she laughed.

Mike T Bassplayer called and also made it to rehearsal; it definitely was a pretty day to be making the drive from the East Bay where he resides.

We practiced about a dozen songs on the list; Todd is a quick study, and despite his talent, he's pretty modest, and he's patient with the rest of the band when there are mistakes.

He also took a few moments and put his guitar down and went over and played the drums for a while, too.

Overall, I would say it was a good practice.

Oh, and everybody likes the new band name, too. Whew.

More band news as events warrant.

Alan & The Archives are good to go. :-)

---

That's pretty much it for now.

Have a good Monday, folks.

I could not help but leave a short note, especially after reading the very kind words above. Last night was an absolute riot, the first time I've jammed with others in a very long time. I truly appreciate everyone's patience with me while I learn the new material and I know this is going to be so much fun! A big thank you to Brin, Alan, and Mike!

Todd! Well, thank YOU, good sir; we really had fun. And I don't do the Axl Shimmy in front of just ANYBODY, so you got a treat yesterday. In fact, if your luck holds, I won't ever do it again. :-) Thanks for stopping by and saying hello!
