Ideal Band 3 - Version 2013

Years ago, I wrote Ideal Band and I'm happy to say, I'm in that Ideal Band. We call ourselves Scary Robots. We rehearsed at the studio. It was kind of spur of the moment, meaning Joe asked about this weekend on Thursday, we talked among ourselves, and settled on the next night. We started playing around 7:30, took a break while Brian Guitar replaced a broken string - the first he broke while playing the guitar he bought not long after we started playing together. We went through a few more songs and then, shortly after 10 PM, we called it a night.

We've been talking about playing at a gig. This AM, I took a stab at splitting up the types of songs between what I envision would be three sets. I don’t want to do all the blues songs together and then all the short ‘pop’ ones together. Some of the ones listed below are ones we first talked about last night.
