Water Rats April 19 - Song List

I have an electro acoustic parlour. Happy to jam whatever songs are ‘blues jam in A’. No 12 bars though. It transpires after the last meet-up I cant count that high.

I'd enjoy an acoustic day if on a smaller scale. We'd basically be fine in a large living room. I could also bring my double bass and thump along here and there.

Edit: not really too fussed about he recording though. Might have been more fun running it through in a band environment a few times and then us all doing ‘the set’ at the end which we can record ourselves. So we are playing each other our gig. Or something. 

Just a comment on this but I think the recording thing is actually great. Knowing that the stuff is being recorded focuses the mind from the get-go and means that peops tend to 'wing it' less which is better for everyone in the long run. It's good experience also..

Just my opinion of course but I'd hate to turn up and find that preparation was lacking..

You were playing an 8 bar sequence in 6/4, we were playing a 12 bar sequence in 4/4 - same difference (-ish)!

Don't get me wrong it was fun. The performance side of it just meant more to me is all.

Personally the best bit for me was being somewhere I didn't feel that old

The next SE jam should be in Bognor. Think how young we'll feel then.
