The band is on; it’s fun. We might sound good in a couple more months. Do I want to be in two bands? Yes. Do I have the time?
Kanoodle
23 months ago
I was once in a band named Kanoodle, it started off just my best friend as guiter and me as bass. We were just trying to put some songs together with a drum machine and then have one of the guys I worked with at the time sing on some of the tracks. It was never anything that was supposed to be serious. One day an old friend called up my friend and said she was back in town for good and wanted to hangout. She came over one day while we were practicing and fooling around started singing along to some of our songs. She was actually really good so we asked if she wanted to sing for us. She wanted to be serious so she put out an ad for a drummer and a couple weeks later for the first time we had a full band practice. We wrote two songs that first day and put them on myspace even though we didn’t have the vocal tracks on them yet. A couple weeks after that we got asked to play a local music fest, a few weeks after that opening night at a new club. Before we had a chance to play any shows our drummer moved and our band was left incomplete once again.
I have a group of guys here in Baghdad with me that shows some promise for when we get home, but they have never heard me play so they are a little iffy about me still. Hopefully it all works out because ever since I had a chance to play and didn’t make it, I’ve always wanted to know what it’s like to play in front of a live audience.

I have gained membership in a new band. We haven’t started rehearsing yet, so I can’t really say the goal is completed. Obviously, it may not work out and I might have to resume the search. Still, good news, so far.
big thing missing from my life

I don’t expect to ever be more than a committed amateur musician, but I love playing in bands. Even if we only get together once a week, it makes a huge difference to my quality of life. Music is a must. Mind and body work together and create synergy. In May, I will start looking for a new band.
