I just played WHAT now?

Man! These songs are HARD! Whiiiiiine. (-:

I got the main riff from "Play That Funky Music White Boy". At speed. I think I hurt myself. I volunteered to take on the high backing vocals for "Drive My Car". I think someone ELSE is going to hurt me over that. And the last time we train-wrecked on "Tightrope" it was because the drummer was following ME. Whoops.

Homework time!

Heh. If the drummer was following YOU...I don't think the homework's all on your side.

FWIW, I once led an entire band astray myself, including the director. It was after a long series of rests -- I lost count and came in too soon. So did the rest of the band. After the song was over, and we all asked, "What happened?" one of trombones said something like, "We followed you 'cause you came in with such authority."

I may be wrong, but I'm certain. ;-)

Excellent story!

I believe it was Robert Fripp and the league of, umm, something or other who had the motto, "If we don't know where we're going, we usually get there."
