Friday on my mind - From 6 'til midnight... somewhere in March

We road tested the first few tunes first... tightening endings - and stretching for new parts. In the INTRO to Sweet Home Chicago I busted ANOTHER string on Cherry. A "D". Finished the song but this is getting to be a habit!

A long "discussion" on how we're to proceed. Whether we go straight to three forty-five minute sets - or consolidate the first two. No real decision on that - bracket practice is off for at least another week.

Flip Flop Fly came up really well tonight. I had a rabid confrontation with my memory when I get through the intro to Help Me and realise I've got the wrong guitar - sounded okay - but bloody hard to keep the Green Onions sounding good across 12 bars in E tuning.

Tuesday with the singers we're going to run:

Messin With the Kid to add the Blues brothers verse

Mungo Blues to get Ben up with the lyrics

Who Do You Love to get a longer version going - combining the Thorogood and Feelgood versions

And learning and developing arrangements for:

She Caught the Katy
Come Together
Stop Breaking Down
Crawling Kingsnake

and I want to do a little work with Lucinda on:

All I Need

Got home and spent a few hours sorting the charts and organising myself. The BOOK is looking good. There's a lot of satisfaction in finally seeing them come together after two years.

See you Tuesday - or shortly after.
