Saturday saw another attempt at the ole' band rehearsal/recording session. One member couldn't make it due to a family bereavement, and the other couldn't make it because of no insurance on the family car. So what did John and I do? Work hard at writing material or arranging songs?
Uh, not really; we played a marathon "call all shots" pool session on the pub American-style table. Due to a client, John showed up a bit later, but I was on the table from 2pm until closing time. That is 9 hours of pool. It was actually bloody good fun and by the end, games were down to one ball and the 8 most of the time. The call all shots thing really makes for challenging play and does wonders for your game.
Anyway, today I may have secured the services of a well-respected and well-known guitarist for the demos. He himself is recording a CD with his band, but has agreed to try to fit in an afternoon to lay down a few licks. The lack of guitars is really holding us up so hopefully it will work out. Could this person be our Jon Bon Jovi?
I think I finally know why bands take so long to record albums...studios have too many distractions in them!
