Another reason I love my wife

Sign in to disble this ad
Friday night- second rehearsal w/a new gig, *fairly* quiet. Grumpy/frumpy neighbor lady- who called the cops last week(different band, LOUD/late)leaves me a message: 'Can you stop at 9?' It was after 9 at this point, so I called her right back, said we'll be done at 10- the law's cutoff point. So we're finishing up, precisely at 10, someone requests one more & The Queen says, 'It'll take the cops at least 5 minutes to get here. Play the song!'

Exactly! I've taken to inviting people over to hang during practices, making them more *GTG* than rehearsal, & giving us a little taste of playing for a crowd; that crowd is often 90% her peeps, so ain't nobody telling HER to shutup!

I think its important to reserve judgement until we find out which song was requested!

We used to practice at our drummer's house (mainly in his basement or outside during nice summer days). It's in a rural area and pretty much all of the community liked listening to us. People would often drop by to watch us practice. A new couple moved there & began complaining about the noise level. The community eventually pestered them until they moved out of the neighborhood.

Also, in the interest of remaining on The Queen's *A* list, you will very likely NEVER see a picture of her here. She does come to most of my gigs...

Im sure your wife is well worth it, but N.California can be quite the drive from S.California, especially all that uphill stuff.
