Well, my whole musical adventure seems to finally truly be taking off. Those of you who have been reading my posts lately should know that I've been talking with both a drummer and two bassists (one of whom has suddenly shown disinterest in joining after I told him he'd have to drive just about 15 miles for rehearsals), and the drummer might have a practice-room available for us to use for free. Well, guess what? The drummer just called me today and said that we have been granted that well-equipped music-room at a school, for use as rehearsal space! Sure, we can't leave amps, guitars and basses in there between rehearsals, since the school still needs to use it every day, and it's only intended as a temporary solution until we get our own space, PA and equipment, but it still beats not having a place to practice (or paying for one when we still can't legally call ourselves a band yet).

We have agreed to meet on this Wednesday evening, and have already managed to agree on a few songs to learn. The songs we have agreed on so far are: "Back In Black" (AC/DC), "Highway Star" (Deep Purple), "Summer Of 69" (Bryan Adams) and "Red Hot And Heavy" (Pretty Maids). I'd say that selection sounds pretty good for starters. There's some classic Arena-Rock, there's some radio-friendly rock, and there's a little bit of Heavy Metal. I'm not really that big on "Back In Black", really, but this is a band we're talking about, so I'm willing to just go with it.

Now, we'll be starting out without a bassist, but he'll be joining us soon enough. For now, I'll have to learn as much as I can of those songs for Wednesday evening. Luckily, I just went through "Summer Of 69" last night, and I still had it down almost perfectly, so I only reall need to worry about 3 songs (and I'm already in the process of learning "Red Hot And Heavy" by ear, since I can't find any tabs for it...).

I have a good feeling about this...
