These last days have been kind of slow for me. Slow, from the point of view of blogging, otherwise they have been crazy. We celebrated Easter (I am Christian Orthodox by religion, like probably 90% of the people here) and these last days me and my wife visited every possible relative because, of course, everybody was inviting and expecting us. Which is a wonderful thing, just that a bit demanding after a while…
And of course, the guys from the band asked their share, so, Costin, the lead singer, called to invite me to a barbecue at the rehearsal location (I don’t dare to call it room, cause it is not just a room, it is a building with a big yard). After 2 visits that day, I took my wife and my guitar and went to the rehearsal studio.
I can only tell you that I was part of the “team” handling the mixed grill (my wife says I still smell like smoke after taking like 4 baths) and Costin was part of the “team” handling the lamb cooked over the fire (which is way more difficult than cooking the mixed grill!). There was beer, music, food and a lot of fun! Everything was again organized under the same conditions as last time.
Everything ended up after a lot of playing the guitar, jamming and singing, around 1 o’clock AM, I think, when we decided that it was a busy day and we should all go home and take some rest. I know I needed it!
I have more stories to tell, but really, I find so little time to spend in front of my computer these days, but I will be back soon…

Happy Easter! Sounds like you’ve had a lot of fun and family responsibilities this past week, but still managed to find time to jam. You exhibit amazing dedication to the true fun of music. That can be a resurrection experience in itself!

Thanks, Dr J! Yeah, I can say I had both, fun ad family responsibilities and I still have some for the next days but it’s OK
I don’t know what came first here, music or fun, or both cause I don’t think you can split these two.

“I can only tell you that I was part of the “team” handling the mixed grill (my wife says I still smell like smoke after taking like 4 baths)”
Sounds like there’s more to this story, Ovidiu. Maybe an episode of “Tales From The Barbecue” is in order.

Well, Jack, seems that indeed, there is more to say about it
Considering the fact that this story seems to have more chapters, it already had 2, I think that more stories will follow
I have also meet here an old band mate that now plays in a known band in Romania and we had a long-long discussion about his band and his equipment, I will tell you more about it soon.
