A Fly on the Wall
As is our wont, the Deck Band convened on Tuesday night at Carey's Pub to give a small part of our catalog an extensive workout. Practice was scheduled to begin precisely at 6:00pm. The crew warmed up in the usual fashion, with Tom strutting around in his best "Mick Jagger" chickenwalk while wearing a purple top hat, JR busily pre-shredding his guitar picks, Chris trying to determine whether his drum sticks were male or female, and the Lord of Low Frequencies extolling the virtues of his most recent movement, the size of which apparently required its own zip code. Typical male jocularity ensued, with comments like "Hey fish lips, I hope you practiced your scales", and "JC almighty, what did you eat for lunch?!?"
Oh yeah, then we practiced some songs.
As the crew made their way into the night, hearty handshakes, backslaps, and muttered epithets were exchanged. We promised to meet again, and to practice until we reach competency.
Rock on, boys, rock on....
