A Good Problem to Have

Practice in Sugar Grove last night. I'm trying out Larry's Marshall valvestate combo rig. I probably won't use it for Saturday's big Drag show because I don't want to use an amp I will probably buy (but haven't paid for). That seems to be an invitation for all sorts of potential problems.

For a slack jawed piece of crap, I worry a lot.

At one point I went to switch channels. I hit OD #2 (not to be confused with the Old Dog's poop) and nothing happened. I thought 'I fucked up Larry's amp or this pedal is fucked' but then I realized that Brad's (from Supercush) Marshall stack was right behind the gear I was using. We're not the only band that uses the practice space. I accidentally hit the footswitch for the Marshall he uses on Thursday rather than clicking the one I was playing.

There were too many Marshalls and Marshall related accessories. I lost track of things for a sec. This is a good problem to have.

I sort of felt sorry for the Peavy stack. It looked sad just drooping over in the corner, no one playing it. Actually, it always looked sad or like it was about to fall over...especially when I was playing it.

We may not be successful rock and rollers, but we have decent material and pretty useful stuff for executing the songs. We don't have to answer to anybody except each other and our smart ass remarks. Really looking forward to playing Rachel's benefit this weekend.

I'm not sure if this is open to the public or a private affair. More details as they become available...
