Jam, and not the apple variety

Nothing like jamming with friends, eh? Except that we meet after so long, months at a time. And usually we only have a few hours to jam. That gap and the meagre amount of jamming time is nowhere near long enough to find the beat. You know what I mean? Every time you start playing together, you always have to spend some time getting ready. Re-learning chords, solos, getting the timing right, and what not. So it's very rare that we get a song down perfectly, just as it should be. Mostly, we just wind up jumping from song to song. At the end, we usually fall asleep or something.

Isn't it amazing, then, how perfect professional bands are in their harmony? How many brows must have sweated, how many fingers bled, and voices cracked by the sheer amount of practice? I don't think i can ever get there...I simply don't have that much of patience.

But whatever...it's fun to do! Yagshimas! WA WA WEE WA! Okay, that was random, but we were going crazy with borat today.
