There was a day this week when I woke up and was hit by an overwhelming feeling that it was a Ferris Bueller kind of bunking off sort of day.<\/p>\n

But I didn’t.<\/p>\n

Even though the feeling had an almost irresistible force, I stayed away from the dark side.<\/p>\n

There was a time though…<\/p>\n

Anyway, that’s not the point of this post.<\/p>\n

Yesterday evening four of my colleagues and I had a scratch band practice after work.<\/p>\n

Two acoustic guitars, two vocalists, and me, trailing along, hashing things about with my G&L plugged in to a small amp.<\/p>\n

My own acoustic is out on loan.<\/p>\n

In a mildly disorganised way we ran through some familiar numbers, and later on they worked through two songs I am unfamiliar with.<\/p>\n

I got a round of applause for my lead vocals on Lindisfarne’s Meet Me On The Corner, but that was probably a sign for me to shut up.<\/p>\n

For a couple of hours we had a good time, but it made me realise how out of practice I am.<\/p>\n

We’ll see how many turn up next week (how many I’ve scared away).<\/p>\n
