I woke up this morning in a bit of a daze. For the first time in nearly a week, I was waking up and realizing that I didn't have to rush upstairs to take a shower, throw the dryer on for 10 minutes, have a tea, and head out to work..nope, today I got to just sit around. It's much more frustrating than it sounds. First off, Andrew has work today, Melanie's in the States, and Tim is..well, I dont know where Tim is, so I'm forced into another day of practising alone. I tried using my creative genious to come up with a fancy little bassline, but to no avail.
It's somewhat frustrating doing 20 hours of Bass practice over 5 days without anybody to practice with. Oh well, I suppose I had to get on with it. I notice that my fingerpicking has vastly improved over the past couple days, but I keep getting that annoying knocking of the E string against the last fret, so all my recordings end up sounding like shit. Hopefully I can get together with the guys and do some practising before the school year starts, because we'll have a show to play within the first month, yet we haven't even decided on a song to play for the show...such is the forming of a new band. Hopefully things will be a little more in order before August 30th.
I will be examining the genius that is Ben Kenney on Wednesday. I'll be sure to write a review on the concert when I get home Wednesday night.
