It started a couple of months ago...

A couple of months back, a friend rang to see if I was up for trying out in a punk covers band they had put together round a singer who could belt out some Pistols songs. My friend plays bass, and I met him and the drummer at a studio. Well, an old Doctors surgery - imagine the drumkit where the Doctors desk would be, the bassist standing where the patient would sit, and me playing exactly where the Nurse would stand if she had just popped in with an x-ray showing my ego smaller than it should be, then fill every other available gap with Marshalls, mixing desks, PA's, and the like. We tore through "Pretty Vacant", "God Save The Queen", and "Blitzkrieg Bop". Too much fun. With a couple of gigs lined up, saying "yes" was easy.
