Piece of Mind

well... i had to write a title for the post so i guess that pretty much is a suitable one... pardon the pun...

it was a long but great day... though 69 family didn't make it past the preliminaries of asian beat 2005... it was good exposure and experience for first-time band battlers like ourselves... many thanks to gobling for supporting us along the way with encouragement and advice... all the best to u guys 2mr... well i know it's a really terribly laughable name for a rock band... but it wasn't my idea... and it wasn't meant to be permanent anyway... after all... the band lineup was decided at the eleventh hour only... partly because we only decided to join a few days ago... the vocalist and bassist were roped in on wed... and the drummer on fri... and there we were rockin' the stage (or at least tryin' to haha)... after three days .. so i had no high hopes of anythin' honestly... but we all did have some fun so it was all good :) i must have been the worst lead shredder for the day haha... so i'll have to work some more... one of the bands were playin' rising force pretty good... clean sweep arpeggios from the guitarist and lightning solos too... man man... hats off... and i still remember the days in my old band wanted where i actually wanted to try for band alert (now known as asian beat)... hmmm... great enthusiasm back then... and finally... after all these years... i actually got into it... and out too... haha... and for the record... dream theater is still number one... no prizes for guessing what shirt i wore today...
