I was told they currently don't have windows.

I was thinking they don't have any windows at all. Which would be super-weird. What, the wind and rain just comes through and people put up with it?

But what I think is happening is the windows are down for reno, and whatever plastic they have that is temporarily up in their place, is weather-proof but not sound-proof.

It's right on the end of a neighborhood, and I think the neighbors heard a loud live band until 2am last weekend, twice as loud as they normally are without glass blocking it. I imagine they then complained to the township, who said fuck no to all that.

Ah! Glass-less holes in the wall, not hole-less walls. That makes more sense. Somehow I was imagining brand new walls that they hadn't had a chance to cut windows into yet, as if that is how they make windows in the first place. I am, on occasion, a complete moron.

Neighborhoods complaining about live music venues are a ƒucking plague that is sweeping the nation.

Don't like loud music? Don't move to "hip" neighborhoods. And then ruin it for everybody else.

Wull thank you sir! There'll be more opportunities. Tonight was poorly attended as I think any Friday night will be. It was kind of a trial show from the bar.

We're settled on a drummer. He's a Rastafarian. No, like a true believer type.

Spring city is a great venue, at the upstairs bar looking down at the stage and all the cleavage on the floor.

A long time ago a buddy of mine had a contract to play at this ongoing party at a Nat'l Guard Armory every Saturday night for 6 months. It was 30 miles away, and he had a 13 piece band. He said he'd never been so tired of playing before or after that.

Hated it so much he quit playing for a living and went into construction, and from then on, only played for fun.

Thirteen piece, that is more personnel management than music.

Every single Saturday, that is crazy to put 13 people through that. I would co-book it with a second band and switch off weeks.

It really came together last night. We now have a drummer who can keep time. Our gal singer Judy has a lot of friends and can bring them out at certain places. The harmonies are working, we can now run our own sound OK, hard work is paying off. Feels good!
