Plans for the New Year
By Fred, 1:31 AM
Greeting and Salutations!
So, I figured that for my first blog ever, I would keep it simple, and let everyone know what our plans are for the rest of this year.
We will be rehearsing tomorrow, with the intention of getting our latest batch of songs ready. Currently we are working on Inch an Hour, Lake Fever, Lonely End of the Rink, Gus the Polar Bear From Central Park, and Born in the Water. We rehearsed the songs as a group for the first time last week, and, in a surprising turn of events, the songs came together very quickly. Greg was the first to make observation that the chemistry the five of us have is starting to reap some rewards. Also, there is a feeling of beginning to understand how these songs need to be played. As always, my thanks goes out to Paul, Gord D., Gord S., Rob, and Johnny for creating such amazing music that not only is a pleasure to listen to, but also an inspiration in my own musical journey. Needless to say, we should have several of these new songs in the set for our next shows.
Those shows will be the 19th and 20th of December at the Great Bear Pub in Burnaby. Peter and the gang there have been very kind to us, and in return we have put on some great shows thus far. These next two will be no exception. I do hope that anyone who is able to attend will do so!
After that, we will be preparing set lists and rehearsals for our first New Years show! All of us in the band realized recently that our 1 year anniversary is occurring right around now. Time flies, and I must say, I'm extremely proud of all that we've accomplished in this short time, and am really looking forward to what the future has in store. Anyway, the New Years show will be in Nanaimo. We don't have many details right now, but as they become available, we will update you on the website, as well as facebook and myspace.
Other than that, in the new year we will probably generate another list of five songs to learn, and continue on from there. There are also plans to do some more recorded versions of a few songs to add to the website, as well as a new video. While the much discussed original music jam has not occurred, there is no pressure, and only time will tell.
That's all for now. Until next time,
Fred
