Practice is ace.

February 25 - Practice is ace.

Practice on Tuesday night was ace. We gathered together as many amps and microphones as we could find, and did some live recording.

There was a crescent of amps around the drumkit - a range of shapes and sizes, it was impressive to behold.

We had loads of fun - I should have taken a picture for blogging reasons, but in amongst the playing of music, I forgot.

Sorry more-than-likely-imaginary readers, I am a low-class bloggist. I'll make sure to get a picture next Tuesday.

In the meantime here is a picture from a previous practice. Admit it, you can't even tell the difference.

I think this was in the summer at some point. It's quite light, and this was definitely an evening.

I picked this one of Wendy and Tom, because they look so happy and because in most band photos Wendy is hidden behind the rest of us, that's not very fair.

We also did an ace new song. There used to be another song with the same name, but it's very different now.

...You might already know this, but unless there is an over-riding reason to cancel we tend to practice each and every Tuesday. We've found that if we don't have a regular rehearsal slot it can be quite tricky to get all eight of us together.

We can spend a whole week each saying which days we are and aren't free.

There are just too-darn-many of us, clearly.

Maybe if there were more days than The Rocky Nest members, then we could sort this out.

Essentially we need an extra two days a week. I propose that they are placed between Saturday and Sunday and are counted as part of the weekend. Now, what shall we call them?
