Our band decided, once again, to rehearse during one of the hotter days of the last couple of weeks. Needless to say, we learned the hard way why music is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration.
Oddly enough the last two rehearsals were among the more productive ones we have had so far. Songs we had not played since 2006 sounded remarkably better than then. Apparently practice can make perfect. Some inpromptu renditions of Seven Nation Army, (with me warbling the vocals to the point that it did not matter that I did not know the lyrics) Brain Stew, We Will Rock You and Another One Bites The Dust. Last Tuesday had us playing a blues version of Vastenaovend Kaaiendonk, our 2006 Carnaval song, which was totally awesome, albeit quite loud.
This Saturday we will hopefully continue this merry music making, getting ready to add some brass to the songs we will perform during our next gig. (last time S&L, this time S&Y)
And if we can slip in some songs some people might not be expecting, even better.
