Hey everyone! I hope you are all safe and well.
So, McCarthyizm is getting ready for some February and March shows. Just the other night in the practice room the topic of the recent Beatles "Get Back" documentary came up in conversation. The observation was made that not much has changed in the band practice room from back in "the day" with John, Paul, George and Ringo to the way it is today.
A group of folks sitting or standing around each other just trying to create music, coming up with ideas, jamming and trying to get the sounds in your head to come out through your instrument. Some ideas flourish. While others get tossed aside for maybe a later time or to never see the light of day.
What was amazing (to me) was that someone decades ago had the foresight to record on camera the magic that took place in that studio over those 21 days. Was there magic in the McCarthyizm practice room the other night? Sure, we like to think so. Beatle Magic? Well....let's not go there! lol.....
What do your band practices look like? Do you just run set lists? Or, do you try write at every rehearsal?
Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
Cheers for now!
