Finally, band recording!

After quite a long time with the "I would like to, but I'll do it another time" feeling, my friend and I have finally taken the step to go ahead and have a proper recording session. The fact is that we have been sweating for the last few days and my fingers feel like they are going to fall off. We have been practising everyday for a few days and I think that we are 99% there. Reality is that every time we have had any gig, we have never been nowhere near prepared for it. As a result of this condition, we STILL ended up playing an amazing event. The explanation for this is what I want to name "intrinsic guitar chemistry". For some reason, when we play together, cool things come out.

Why haven't we recorded anything or played in massive gigs if "we are so awesome"? Trying to prioritise, firstly I would say that studing at university, and secondly I would have to say that is a lie. Whenever you really love something you will always find the time for it. I guess my answer to this is that I never realised how much I actually did love it. Other plans and other less important but cover shiny things got me distracted along the way. And the same is for many other things in my life, including piano, tennis, rock climbing, technology etc. Others at the top of my list would include peeling potatoes with a spoon and painting cathedrals while upside down and holding an egg with my left foot.

The fact is that this last year has been an eye opener for me and I have retaken many of my more important lost interests. So most importantly, very soon we will have a cd recording, some artwork and a foreword by George Foreman.

Stay tuned!
