    After a four-year hiatus I have decided I want to play music again and I have joined a band. This is probably very bad timing since most of the places we will likely play have been ordered to shut down. I guess we will have plenty of time to rehearse. Anyway, tonight is the first rehearsal following the (successful) audition. A little while ago the guitar player sent me an e-mail about learning another song that wasn't on the list. It's by The Police and it's called, "Don't Stand So Close To Me." For these days, I can't think of a more topical song than that. -edit- it has morphed into an extended medley and maybe a whole set. We'll also play "Keep Your Hands To Yourself" by the Georgia Satellites. Can you think of any other songs on the topic?

      I play the bass primarily, and guitar and keys also. We switch around a bit. It's a lot of fun.

            Ditto. And, coincidentally, I just ordered new strings (Rotosound flat wound), some blank nuts, and a maintenance kit for guitars. The bass (Musima Action 2001) has been sitting there since the DDR dissolved. And I tore apart my amp trying to track down the intermittent no-sound problem. I *think* it's one of the pots.

                      I used to play the triangle in a death-core band; but I quit, that was exhausting.
