So my roommate and I are playing another 30 minute coffee-shop gig in just over a week and we are not ready. Part of the problem is that we hardly ever see each other. I’ve got a busy enough schedule that keeps me out many nights, and he’s got a girlfriend, so there are sometimes weeks that go by where we don’t see each other. And unfortunately, we don’t have musical telepathy.

What will probably end up happening is what usually happens. We’ll throw a bunch of stuff together the night before, practice it till we’re quite of sick of it, and then rock the joint when we get to the gig. Luckily, the ratio of performance excellence to practice hours is disproportionately high for us. At least when we stick to originals…..(with sincerest apologies to David Bowie, Bob Dylan, and Radiohead, for thus far, managing to mangle some of their masterpieces).
