Last night we had a really good practice, even though it started out with Dave messing around with the lift on his boathouse. There seemed to be a power problem. I told him I would love to help him out but I don’t like to dance to the beat of alternating current and Rodney and I argued about who was going to dive into the water to rescue Dave when he was knocked into the lake by the electricity. Since I had a beer in my hand, it seemed perfectly logical to me that the job should fall to Rodney. Fortunately, Dave survived unscathed and determined that the problem was elsewhere.
As a bonus, Dave’s cousin, Clem showed up for practice.
We had a really good practice last night. The pirated recording of Big Hand Dave playing Green Onions and Secret Agent Man were debuted to great reviews.
Damn Pirates!!
We decided that we have enough material to make a band page on MySpace with actual recordings. I think Rodney should be in charge of that. He had his cool little recording device last night and I think we got some good stuff.
Last night’s practice was a lot of fun, despite the fact that we played a lot of material for the first time. It was a night of fab firsts as many of the songs we played were new to everybody. Thank goodness for PJ’s charts. As an added bonus, Corn-Squeezer Dave returned my hymnal and it was actually no worse for the wear, though he did forget it initially and fetched it whilst changing into his Magnum PI outfit.
We had a pretty good practice last night, despite the fact that Dave neglected to deliver my corn juice soaked hymnal back to its proper owner and Rodney had to shift his Mustang into Jeep to avoid getting trapped in Dave’s driveway. Dave has had some trees removed at the lake and the heavy equipment and heavy rain made a quagmire of his driveway. We forget what a really impressive piece of property our little practice retreat is sometimes, but now it’s open, expansive view of the beautiful lake is really something to see. Dave’s got himself a really nice piece of land there.
We had a great practice last night. We got through an amazing amount of material and had a lot of fun doing it. There was, however, the matter of mysterious corn juice on the counter. I’m not sure I would ask if I were you. And just so you know, in case it ever comes up - Dave has a can opener that could be used as a weapon. I also have to say that nighttime at the lake in the Spring is fabulous. I love the sound of those frogs down by the water.
