WAITSGIVING UPDATE: 1-6 and 1-9-2020.

We were able to get in one four piece practice and one two piece practice this week. Monday, the four of us tackled Volunteer DJ and were able to get a fairly decent live to phone recording. We made some headway with The First Waitsgiving and Gravedigging Bassplayer but were not as fortunate to capture those on a cellular level. This was also the first time we briefly attempted Snocone Creator. At one point Cade scraped a drum idea because he said it was too ‘Rusted Root.’ I realized I hadn’t ever heard Rusted Root which prompted Brooks to play a song from his phone during a short break. I posted a video of the song lyrics on his phone scrolling the Rusty lyrics which prompted a response from close band friend and confidant: Switchblade asking, “Is that a Rusted Root app?” I lied and told him it was.

That Thursday, Cade and I briefly met up and went over all of this again, repeating and polishing. Later, Cade admitted he was hungry for the style of Mexican food in the gatefold of the Tres Hombres LP by ZZ Top. I knew such feelings needed to be acted upon in a timely manner, so we parted ways.
