Does a one man band count?
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Funniest band practice story was when a late 60 year old neighbour came over to see what all the racket was about and hung out while we played, he was digging it!

1. I find it difficult to schedule Band Practice (work hours, young families, etc)

2. It’s much better having your own rehearsal space

3. Having some flavor of recording device and at least 1 person who can write/chart

4. I always have a Practice “Time Limit” to limit fucking about. I was in a Band that had a NO Beers until after rule which seemed to work

“ We are looking to start at 7”

“ No can do”

“What’s up, when suits?”

“Shortland Street is on”

“Ok this isn’t the band for you”
