If you said, "Billy Joel, from the album Glass Houses, 1980," you get 15 bonus points.
I got together with "the guys" today, to make some music; 6 of us there. Only Tom was missing, but he has been back in Iowa for a couple months. This will be the last of the 6 of us getting together for a while... probably September. Seems that we all have summer travel plans, and not all at the same time, making for a lot of over-lap for getting us all together.
It was a good day. Well, one omission on my part: I brought drums, a stand for them, and a drummer's throne... but, forgot to grab drumsticks. Duh! Mark had some brushes we use on a cajon, so we made it work as best we could. Ron played drums most of the day; I took a turn on them for a couple songs. We worked up a couple new (to the group) songs and refined other songs we've been playing. For the 6 of us, we had permutations of 5 guitars, a bass, a mandolin, and drums (an electronic set and a cajon); 4 vocalists.
I really enjoy getting together with these guys - no doubt we'll all work on music individually during the summer months.
