day 4

 

No, you aren't supposed to be seeing anything other than a recently mowed dandelion and some dirt. I'm just obsessed with how red the dirt is here. Even the rocks are red. With the bright green grass from all the rain we are having it seems like the whole world is ready for Christmas!!

 

Sandy has been mentioning that this band is ahead of the game compared to how previous years. I have to say I think we sound pretty fantastic. Of course my job is a little easier than most of the others, I just add the little squiggles on top of the guys. I will say this, the groove is solid as hell. The only problems are things that are easily addressable and fixable. (I apologize for crappie pictures. I'm snapping cell phone shots or taking pictures with my disposable which won't help until I take it in to get digital copies of those.)

We the Coal Diggers haven't yet played with the singers, so there will probably be a little insanity the first day of that, which I believe is Saturday. Everyone in the cast is already super tired and we don't start the show til the 7th of June. So that means crazy rehearsal schedules for everyone strait up until then. I haven't touched my huge stash of books and crafts or watched a movie since I got here. Although that proves something else, which is that I get along great with the guys in the band. We eat lunch/dinner together and hang out in the evenings as well as rehearsing 10am-5pm. I feel really lucky, how horrible could this summer have been if we didn't all get along?
