The last few times Crawfish has gotten together to rehearse have mostly been to determine whether we could manage some decent electrified versions of a few of the songs we do, this for the xmas concert at La Case A Chocs in two weeks. For me it doesn’t change much, I just try and make my noise even louder but for Dave, playing electric guitar instead of acoustic will be a change.
It was his proposal however and although I was reluctant to agree since I really prefer acoustic Blues, we have been practicing and it has been a lot of fun. So why not?
I am not sure I would actually be that interested in going to hear us though. But those that know me know how much of a critical pain I am when it comes to what I find interesting as opposed to what I do not. My crawfish friends for instance, love to bug me about my total disinterest in most “modern blues” especially of the horribly mushy English kind. Yuck!
In any case, after over 5 hours of practicing yesterday we agreed to take the plunge. Dave tried a borrowed strat and strat styled guitars the last two times we played, but in the end he seems to be fusing in a better way with a borrowed telecaster. What we will sound like on stage however is anyones guess…
