Scratch the Blue

Editor's Note: Playing with Blue Scratch is not going to happen.

I'm really excited for 6 PM tonight (it's 7:50 AM now) because I'm going to Jay's house. Jay who? Jay, the bassist in a band called Blue Scratch. Blue Scratch had a post on the Iowa City Craigslist site for a drummer, I responded, and, through email conversation, jamming today at 6 was set up. Below are the songs Jay sent me as their set list. Songs 2-38 are in-progress tunes while 39-79 are ones they already have in their set list. Assuming the rehearsal / jam goes well, it's looking like I will be back in a band after a 8 month, 1 week, 3 days - 253 days total - break. It will also mean I need to resume practicing on the Yamaha electronic set on a regular basis to get my chops up because, again assuming every thing goes well, there is a gig on Saturday, June 13th (the Saturday of the Sigwarth campout) in Marion. In fragile negotiations, I may be taking a second vehicle to Elkdader and then driving from Elkdader to the gig on Saturday after 5:30 Mass (depending upon what time the gig is scheduled to begin). Already, I'm thinking through every thing I would need to take with me on the Wednesday night we'd head to Elkader.
