dianec42Had my first jam session with my new band friends on Friday night. I learned a couple of new songs, semi-learned a couple more. YES, I HAVE STARTED A SPREADSHEET.
Uh oh. These people are GOOD. And loud. And they like fast, energetic songs.
We're doing some Pat Benatar, Blink 182, Green Day (soon), No Doubt, maybe some Alice In Chains, that sort of thing. All new songs to me, which is fine. I don't actually remember any songs from my previous lives; and frankly, if I never play Van Morrison for drunk 40-something coworkers ever again, that's okay. Not that there's anything wrong with being 40 - I wish I was 40 again! - just saying this is a different vibe altogether.
Edit: Also, cue me trying to remember which online sheet music stores I bought stuff from 20 years ago to see if I can re-download any of it. ALAS. SheetMusicPlus admits it knows me, but says I've never bought anything.
