upcoming gig (what's on your set list?)

@ShiroKuro "Nice! What are you playing?" [from another thread] Weather permitting, we're hosting / playing a party this Sunday afternoon in a local park. It's a whole bunch of friends and colleagues (largely from academia), just hanging out, chatting over beers, and listening to us play a bunch of tunes. Here's our programme: I've talked about my "garage band" before, but a quick summary for folks who might not have seen it. It's a three-piece, me on either bass guitar or keys (per the notes by the set headers), my lovely wife Jacque ("Jackie") on drums, and our pal Steve on guitar. We share lead vocal duties (above: Steve is pink, I'm green, Jacque is blue) and provide backing vocals where needed. Steve is new to music. I just started teaching him guitar a couple of years ago, and he had no musical background whatsoever before that. He's doing okay but I admit to getting frustrated by his lack of progress sometimes. None of us are perfect and we all make mistakes during performances (I certainly do), but Steve makes more than his fair share ... Ultimately, it doesn't really matter. We're not trying to play serious public / paying gigs, just house / garage / park parties for a friendly audience for fun, so it's all good. I hope to get some decent video; if so, I'll share. Again: this is all if the weather behaves ...

Hi ShiroKuro

We started playing at 9pm and finished about 11:10pm, with a break.
So probably about 50-55mins per set.

Cheers

Hi TC3

We don't have another gig until Halloween night now either.
Though I have a number of gigs with other bands lined up before Halloween.

Cheers

Simonb I bet that’s a lot of work, but also a lot of fun!!

Simonb The missuz and I are starting a little side project with the guest guitarist who played on "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," so we might end up with some other opportunities. Still, I'm not really looking to perform all that often, I still have a day job, and I'm a tired old man ... 😮
