On the Road Again

The 2005 Comeback Tour looks as though it's on and so begins the painful process of - REHEARSAL.

Now, to the uninitiated, this may seem like a simple process. It is not. The collision of massive egos combined with short term memory failure makes for a major pain in the Grope posterior. First off, we have have to have a planning session. Custom dictates that this occurs in the Banjo and G-String in the VIP corner. This is how it goes. The drummer's late (natch), the bass player NEVER buys a drink and the meeting deteriorates into a drunken, group reminisce about how good the old days were and travelling really in an ancient Transit was really good. Bollocks!

Next, we turn up for the first rehearsal. This is always a shambles of epic proportions. The guitar player usually turns up without either: a) his guitar; b) his amp; or c) his brain and often all three. Nobody, but nobody, can remember either the words or the music to any of the songs we have spent the last umpteen years playing. So, we do what any self-respecting bunch of rock professionals would do, we launch into a 20 minute 12-bar blues.

Once this is over, we look pleased with ourselves and repair to the boozer for a well-deserved libation.

As Dick Emery once said, "It's only Rock and Roll but I like it!".
