bits for 16 september ‘08

September 16, 2008

I successfully delivered sis to TPA – and oddly enough there was no problem getting her there. I was sure as anything I’d run into evening commuter traffic but didn’t whatsoever.

However I wasn’t so lucky going back home – I ran smack dab into the middle of it. That was okay because it was more important sis got to her flight on time, which she did.

. . .

Band practice went well this evening. More songs from the set list were played. I was a bit rusty at some but muddled thru. As soon as the list is polished up we’ll be gigging out. It will be nice to get social doing what I do with guitar – no question.

Practice tonight included some Ramones tunes. I’d never played them with a band before. Very different. I can definitely see the allure of punk music because it’s easy to play and you can jump around a lot. :-)

. . .

Forgot to mention – in the north they’re starting to get cold nights already. At the stomping grounds they’re going to have a 40° F low on Thursday. Bear in mind that’s only 8 degrees away from freezing. :-)

The lowest low here will be 70°. Rock on. :-)

    It’s beautiful, fantastic, fabulous fall weather here! C’mon, you know you miss it. Just a little. ;)

    And I sincerely hope you’re covering ‘Sedated’? I love that song for no good reason other than it’s so much fun ~ plus once you start with the gigs, it will be SURE to be a crowd favorite. :)

    Yeah the fall weather is nice. I’ll get there for a visit next year (try to, anyway).

    We’re doing 2 Ramones tunes, the Sedated song and Blitzkrieg Bop.
