How about '30 Days in the Hole' by Humble Pie. Nice opening harmonies... always thought that was a good cover tune and fits in well with the Stones/roots rock type material. Good luck in the countdown for the upcoming gig!

Nice entry, Mark. Enjoyed the read. Nice that you've reached stability w/members. You're prep for the gig reminds me of the scene in the movie 'The Commitments' where they play their first gig in a church (fun movie if you haven't seen it - they have drummer problems as well... as does every band). The strap sounds nice. I, too, like a good strap for a good guitar. Finished the Keith Richards book over the holidays and watched 'Ladies and Gentlemen...', which is a '74 film when Taylor was on 2nd guitar. Their peak period I think. Ya know you have to take off the low E on the 555 now Hope the practice and gig goes well. Looking forward to reading about it. Cheers, Randy

Nice blog, Mark and congrats on getting your new member fairly quickly In comment to your question, Mark, I don't think the perception of "you guys rehearse and I'll show up to do my bit" is limited to drummers. Balancing expectations, personalities, skill levels, musical tastes is an issue for any band/musician. It's compounded with both the number of members in a group and age. The older we get, the smaller the pool of folks wanting to play. For your core trio, sounds like a great deal as it's social as well as musical. Nice that you're doing all you can to make them welcome and that your practices/work ethic are organized/strong. Even with all that it's dicey to hold something together given all the other influences. Might be a bit odd, but I really don't have a band anymore. Current situation is what we kinda refer to as a 'musical co-op' and we get folks togther for a gig. No gig, no band. Gig, then we figure out who'll play what, maybe do a rehears if new stuff or member is included, then play the gig as 'the band'. Kinda takes that 'commitment' out of the picture. Or I suppose another way to look at it is that I'm in lotsa bands... we just don't practice much with each of them.
