Dandelion Update

'The Project' are no more.

Dry your eyes though because there is a good reason for this; we had a breakthrough at practice last night. We've been playing for four weeks now, once a week, and have been trotting out a few standard covers that I used to play with 'The Best Covers Band in Southampton'. It was alright, fun to make loud noises again. Last night we finished a song and I held the last note, then improvised a riff from it, as I often do when given a guitar plugged into a loud amp. Our drummer kept playing along and our singer started singing. We stopped. What was that? Singer asks me. I dunno, I tell him, I just made it up. What were you singing? I dunno, he tells me, I just made it up. Sounded good , we all agree. We should write our own songs. I'd prefer that, drummer says. So would I, I say. So would I, singer says.

So we did and at least one of them sounds half decent already. It's exciting.

We've vowed never to play a cover again. Only problem is we need a new name now.
