Rock Band 8 months ago

I would like to be in a rock band as a lead singer.
I have a really good voice. I get along with people well.



Rock my butt off... 10 months ago

There are two times I feel truly free – when I’m dancing salsa and when I’m fronting a rock band. I refuse to allow my schedule to stop me. I pray the right people will come my way so we can form a synergistic band to play music that will heal people.

Not necessarily a big one.

Just have a band with my friends.

I have left the band because of musical differences. No, that’s not it: I have left the band because of lyrical differences. We had a major, major row when I categorically refused to play any song rhyming the words “looker”, “hooker” and “cooker”. Perhaps I slightly overdid the excoriating disdain.

I don’t often say this but I deserve better. And I’m keeping their riff. Bastards.

Every word of this is true, I swear



Long phone call last night 17 months ago

offering me a place in what will be, despite their protestations to the contrary, a pub band. The thing is: the guy I’m replacing came up with one of the best riffs (in one of my favourite songs) of the 70s. That riff, that song, is in the new repertoire. I’ve been listening to a CD they made a decade or so ago and it’s horrid. And don’t start me on the lyrics!

It’ll be the worst kind of dispiriting geezer rock and I shall be the worst kind of wannabe, following a hero from my teens; playing licks from 35 years ago.

I really miss playing in public, though. And then: that riff.

the name sorted, and even got a groupie. Now all I need are some talented band members. Maybe I should learn to sing or play an instrument too.
