w/e 20/7/07 - Open mic and other stuff

Well a busy weel. Just got home at 19:15 having left work at 12:15, in vain attempt to miss the floods, boy was I wrong.
Earlier we were talking about Noah, now God, i am sorry if I pissed you off, but please dont rain on every body else.
My journey home ended with a couple of drinks in Warwick, at the Great Western. This was after 5 hours of driving what would normally be a 1.5 hour drive.
I have driven through loads of floods, seen several cars, fail to get all the way through. But eventually I mad it home.
Now drivers of other cars, take note, please do not get pissed off with me or anybody else, if I, or they,fail to notice you in all the spray and crappy weather, if you only drive ith your bloody side lights on!
On to the music

W/e 13/7/07/07 Genesis & Open Mic

Genesis, Old Trafford 7/7/07
Well bloody brill. My only negatives was that they were playing in daylight most of the set so the great lighting effects were spoilt by the lovely weather. And I really dislike small vertical screens.
Music was on top form and it was loud.
I am pleased I went to see them on the video broadcast as that enabled me to enjoy it even more.
Tuesday 10/7/07 Somerset House, Bristol
Up with Bob again, several work friends came and supported me. Only one other open micer on that night who is a brilliant piano player.
Played
Tombstone - Jon Chapman (my mates dont like this because of the way the lyrics spell F$%^ You. And therefore think I am telling my estimed audiance F&*$ You. I am not.
Brain Damage - Pink Floyd - Special Request for Dave
Nails - Jon ChapmanWebsite - Jon Chapman
Behnd Blue Eyes - the Who
Pinball Wizard - the Who
Wednesday 11/7/07 Mr Wolfs - Bristol
Played
Website - Jon Chapman
Pinball Wizard - the Who. The largest applause of the night
Thursday 12/7/07 Somervill Club - Bristol
Played
Drowned - the Who. A slightly slower, more layed back feel is what I was trying to achieve. We will see.
It was a secial night as a long time attendee was leaving. So it was one song until he arrived, then a second. I did not get the second as they ran out of time. I trully was not at all bothered. My mates on the other hand had threatend to join me in the chorus to Website, so it was a blessing! Praise be Richard.

Better man - Jn Chapman. New song it needs some work but the lyrics are quite good. I started writing it about current fashions but it quickly became about me and my fustrations as a 13 - 17 year old.

Lent guitar to many players during the eveining. It is interesting that the guitar sounds good, I hope it does when I play it.
