the neighborhood band

Tonight it finally happened. Five professional musicians who live in the same neighborhood got together to mutilate old rock standards at ear-splitting volume. In Paul's basement. And it was a freaking blast.

CDub, Mitch, Paul, Matt and I spent about three hours swapping instruments and attempting to make it from one side of What I Like About You to the other. Good times.

Other songs punished this evening:

When Love Comes to Town (I played drums)
The Weight
Runnin' Down a Dream (I spent a bit of the afternoon to learn the solo. Rocking is a full-time job.)
Johnny B. Goode
I Shall Be Released
Jesse's Girl

Our goal is to someday play a show somewhere. You will all be warned. And invited. And we'll be "rehearsing" again next week.

I can't wait.
