Goodnight, and Thanks for the Bread.

Thanks to the kind members of RWI for letting me shake off some rust and bash away behind the drum-kit. Darrin (bass), Jen (vocals/guitar), Vincent (lead guitar), and Robert (keys) all played a great show and the Island Grill crowd was very cool. Except that one little punk that kept yelling "James, I want to hear a solo! Are you going to RIP IT James?!!! I want you to RIP IT!!!". I mean, it was fun being called James, but he was still a punk. Anyway, I had a lot of fun (and not just because I got paid), and if RWI ever needs someone to fill in, I will not hesitate.

Rally Wall Incident?


There is some debate, because maybe it means "Robert with Idiots" or "Retarded White Islanders" or something else, but for the record, long before they became one of the most popular cover bands in the thousand islands, RWI stood for "Rockin' Wolfe Island". Anyway, why it's being mentionined here is that they've asked me to play some drums next Friday (which is rumoured to be Saint Patrick's day) at the Island Grill in the heart of the village of Marysville on Wolfe Island. So, come on out, probably around 9:30 or something, and hear the result of my attempt to learn 3 hours of material in a single rehersal. If there are free beers to be had, you can have mine. Do I even know how to play the drums?
