Whats up? .. Haven't posted in a while. I've been busy with life in general.

Slackjaw had rehearsal this past Thursday and it was amazing. When we all get together and write a song it's amazing what transpires. The process starts off with a guitar riff that John has had in his head. We'll take it and lay a foundation for a song. Carl will add the hook and the bridge, Randy and I will fill in the cracks....OR...Randy comes up with a riff.....Yes drummers can come up with guitar riffs. So do I as a matter of fact but the difficult part is trying to reproduce that riff in our head with out knowing how to play guitar. I can get a little closer than Randy since I have a keyboard in front of me. Randy makes all kinds of noises with his mouth to get his riff across .... It's actually very interesting but what happens is a song is born.
This past rehearsal I think we walked out with about 4 or 5 song embryo's ... We'll see if the hatch.

We're at Miller's Tavern in Annandale Thanksgiving eve. We would really like to have a good turn out for this one. Millers manager, Maria, really wants to start having entertainment on a regular schedule. The owner is a bit leery from what I understand. If we can show him that entertainment could be a good source of income for the bar/restaurant it would open the door for other bands as well so if your looking for a great night of music and friends come on in and support the band on November 24th at Millers Tavern

I'm gonna see what I can do about getting this blog out there to more people. We want to hear some input. Some ideas that people may have for the band. Song ideas, places we might be able to play, constructive criticism. Even ways to get the blog out there. All these things help us become a better band.

That's about it for now ... I gotta go to work. Hope to see you at Millers and if not have a Happy Thanksgiving
