Slingin' It !

[Afronaut]

I got a concert tomorrow evening at the local (tiny) Pub.

Me and some buddys was asked to play some cover tunes,
we got the phonecall last week.
We got the setlist done in about 30 min, me and the Key/Voc dude
talked over msn. Then i had to distribute the songs to all players so
we got some homework to do.

Oh yeah, we live in different towns.

Me and teh drummer got to rehearse yesterday about 3 hours,
mostly jamming through the songs and figuring out some details.
Bass player is joining us today about 4/5pm.
We'll be playing all evening and probably making a new song(s) too.
Teh Keyboard/Vocal dude is joining us tomorrow morning and we'll do some
serious rehearsing.

Soundcheck is probably about 3pm.
I dont know all the details yet about when and what.

Im really excited about this.

So, put your PartyHat on this Eastern cuz I like to Boogie !!!!
(maybe i got it on tape and if it dont suck too much, i'll be sharing it on teh SS)

We came up with the setlist real quick, trying to keep things simply as we dont have too many hours to
practise together before the gig and considering what kinda ppl we're going to show up, cant play Megadeath and the likes, (this is a Pub we're talking, not an Arena)
here's teh list: (Song-Artist-Key)

Fire - Hendrix - D
He'll Have To Go - Jim Reeves - G
Johnny Guitar - The Shadows - Am Late At Night - The Buzz Brothers - A
My Babe - The Fabulous Thunderbirds - G
Parisienne Walkways - Gary Moore - Am
Roadrunner - Cant remember who made this, its on the new Aerosmith album too.. - E
Summertime Blues - Eddie Cochran - E
Telephone Boogie - Johnny Guitar Watson - E
The House Is Rocking - SRV - C
Riviera Paradise - SRV - Em
The Sky Is Crying - SRV - C
Chitlins con Carne - SRV - Bm (or Hm, depends where you at)

The order of the songs is to be desided later today. Not too many songs but
they suppose to "entertain'" the ppl about an hour, there's another local band
playing too, some C&C&Revival style, if I remember right...
Me, Drummer and Bass player went to rehearse yesterday at 6pm. key-player
joined at 9pm. we had a lttle break and then we was rehearsing until 1:30, my finger are starting to bleed.
Apparently, we know how the songs goes, but we have some difficulties to make 'em "Groove", the Bass & Drums has to be tight.
Plus, we've added some different endings, for example, Johnny Guitar ends with this
Bass line that sounds like the theme from Twilight Zone and then we'll hit the
Am7Major, really an out of space experience. lol.

Well, we're going to rehearse today some more, starting at 13:00.
Soundcheck probably around 6pm. Going on stage about 22:00, im not sure of that yet.

My fingertips are hurting but im still exited.
Damn blues songs, nuthin' but bendings, and i got these 0.wire strings on a Strato..

I'll might add here how it went later today, if im not extremely drunk.
