Shiny Things

Diddly done

Strangled cats and tortured squeaky things!

2 drummers (on 2 separate drum kits)
2 base guitarists
2 guitarists
2 keyboards
3 singers

It was impossible to hear yourself think, let alone hear yourself singing (even with a microphone) so the words 'sing' and 'tune' will be used loosely...

Amongst other things we murdered:

• Ticket to ride
• Under the boardwalk
• Jive talking
• I saw her standing there

I played a bit of whistle to assist in the packing up... (it doesn't go with any of the things we did)

We almost had to break drumsticks to get one of the drummers to stop, so organising the group to actually play a recognisable tune was like herding cats. And trying to announce a new song over the continual plonking of the guitars was like being stuck in some sort of auditory hell!

Well, it was a jam session - truly and fun but some organisation might be in order for the next one...
