Casting

I’m in a jury now. :-) Somehow. Coz what we, Kalu and I, do at the moment is like a casting. I contacted two guitar players, as already mentioned, and we used yesterdays rehearsal to cast one that has already answered my mail. We played three full hours! It was so great. Kalu took over control and just like a conductor, he lead us to the point that my song really rocked out. Great! He was just ingenious. And I really, really liked the guitar player. He was really into it, concentrating, listening, trying new things – it was cool to rock with him. Amazing to see how we could create one song within two hours, just like that! I would really love to work with him, we are a great team.

But still, its just fair if I call the other guitar player, who also replied my mail. Casting number two :-) The good thing about him is that he would maybe have a bass guitar player as well.

Of course, I’m going to discuss the whole thing with Kalu as well – I’m very thankfull for all his inputs, he’s great and he has this sort of overview and enough experience to judge whether right or wrong. Who knows, maybe I kill my plan of having just one single guitar player and I’ll just have two :-)

good news!

I just clicked around on music.ch once again in search of a guitar player and I found two interesting ads, so I contacted both. And, what a luck, one already replied and I just invited him to Monday’s rehearsal. He already plays in a cover band and had some concerts yet. I already chatted with him and he seems quite a good fit. Very looking forward to hearing him play…

Further, I just talked to a friend who creates homepages as I’d like to be prepared for when we have some recordings. Then, I’m going to open up a homepage and a myspace account. But first, I need to fix the musical thing.

wedding bells ringing!

I remember my singing teacher telling me something bout Taylor Swift, but at that time, I just forgot again about her. But just the other day, it hit me while watching the video to “love story“. What a lovely song! I just had to load it down. And I found a wonderful version, just with one guitar and vocals. That’s where the idea came that I’d like to do this at my best friends wedding. If ever I could do it, without crying. :-) And if ever my best friend would like it too, of course ;-)
