Big Hand Dave

Last night’s practice was a lot of fun. We had a guest, Jeff, who loaded in about a million dollars worth of recording equipment, so if his ears survived, it will be nice to hear what he recorded. I was really impressed with all his shiny stuff. Pretty.

We started the evening with a rousing discussion on the reasons why and why not to play the song “Danger: High Voltage!” Some of us think it’s a quirky, hot little number and some of us think that we have to pull over on the side of the road and puke if it comes on the car stereo. The discussion did not escalate to the point of fisticuffs, but the point may be moot in any case. The song is a male/female duet and while Wes is a stellar vocalist, he just doesn’t have the legs for it. However, somewhat along those lines, Rodney voiced a concern that falls into the category of ‘had to be there.’

We had a really good practice last night. Every time we get together, it seems that I appreciate something else. For me last night, it was the background vocals. It seems like it’s coming together really well. And despite the heat, the AC was working like a champ and we all stayed cool enough to wax nostalgic and tell drinking stories from when we were very young and stupid. Most of us are no longer that young.
