We were supposed to have band rehearsals
(SMS from guitarist) Sorry, there's a force majeure, I have to work tonight. (SMS from drummer) I'm in a terrible hurry tonight, we won't have much time... (Phone call with violin player) Oops, I totally forgot we were going to rehearse tonight! So. No rehearsals tonight. First thought: I've already told the wife & kids I'm going, so I might as well go for a pint or two... Second thought: No. I'll go to the rehearsal place anyway! There's no one around so I can freely put up all my gear, even the ones I wouldn't need for normal rehearsals! I'm free to play around with my pedal board, change the order and try what happens if I tweak this thing a little and turn that other thing up, switch and swap and then twang as loud as I want! Jazzy humor solos, anngggry & extremely evil heavy metal riffs, artsy noise that you get when every pedal is on, wonder what they think in the next room, let's try my amp, how loud can a clean sound...
