"on the road again"




Time to sit down and reflect over yesterdays session/rehersal. As what will become usual in a while I carried the VOX amp and 2 guitars with me in the car. Are you going to move out, our nabour asked politly. But no, not at all, it just takes a lot of gadgets to make music. 


Anyway there was a first stop at me Jaguar freind Allans house at Ekerö (he does have a magnificient veiw. 


Then further on to the ferry taking me back to the mainland in the south of Stockholm. 



Havnt yet figured out the best, shortest road yet. But arrived at Haninge en the "Yellow Villa" to meet with "Builder Bob" the bands drummer who was waiting. 


Have to admit i was a bit nervous in regards of this our first meeting with instruments and music. Anyway after carrying all me gadgets down to the basement we did our first attemt to make something  called music together. 


Just a huge set of drums and a guitar. Alright there was ahuge stack of loudspeakers and amplifiers that could help me lonley guitar to create db enough to if not "out-loud" so at least make the guitar heard a little.


A couple of different songs was tested and the noise was enormous. My head started to ring like a firealarm, but we did keep on playing. 
"Builder Bob" asked every now and then if this or that was what I wanted and somehow we did find a way to produce something that was at least one step ovr the noice that was heard during the first hour of rehersal.



App 2 n half hour later me gadgets was restored back to the car, our first session was Done and i have to admit, I loved every minute of it, exept for that bloody noice in my head that kept on ringing the rest of the day. Next time for sure Im gonna get some earplugs to help me out.

PBP

Is it even possible to form a band with members that still have´nt met? Today it seams like a possibility. Still there´s a few missing link´s but as far as I can see it the band is almost ready for some kind of serious acting.

This is <<pbp>> of 2012.

"miss Paddington"
oldest member in the band and do have a magnificient voice. Lives on a suburban island somewhere (and might be in love)


"miss amimna"
latest vocal instrument who alrady proofed her qualities.
Live near a wellknown waterhole in our country.

"miss xxx"
still a missing link in the band, but hopefully She´s out there somewhere.

"Builder Bob"
the man with pots and pans, who keep the rhytm.
Is to be found in a rehersal studio not far from our capitol city.

"Mr Patriiik"
Bass-man who just love to hug his Bass.
Cituated mainly on the westcoast of Sweden, former pro-bass man.

"Mr Gura"
the one who can play for your soul, still missing in the band.

"Master-J"
hmm, the man behind this weird idea and dreams of a band.

aint it funny

During the last month´s or so I´ve started to wonder, who the hell is it who read my blog-site. A blog-site about an overaged man who still is a Wannabe" among all agegroups, hoping that someone like´s what I do. So who have any interesst in my site, especially when its easy to see that more then 7000 times the pages have been read!!??

It would be ever so nice to hear-read a comment from you all every now and then. Telling Me what makes you interessted.
The last 5-6 weeks I´ve been fully occupied in restoring Jaguar V8 motor, but as its extremly cold outside and my heart doesnt work properly I spend app 3-4 hours a day in the garage. The rest of my time is used for playing music-recording, and composing new songs for you to listen to one day.

Here´s the latest tune in its first instrumental version.
