Yeah, it's not something we can do in a couple of weeks. One of the bassists and I already have one song we can both play so that would be a good place to start... It's not overly complex, no really exciting guitar parts until the solo which runs underneath the repeating chorus, but it's still a beginning (and it's played frequently enough on the radio to be called a crowd-pleaser). If we can get the drummer on-board on that song, we'll have the first song in our repertoire. Shouldn't be that hard, since it's right up his alley as well. We won't know until we try, right?
