I found an old journal that I used for a co-op term in college. Other than the work notes, I kept some notes on what the band was up to. The band was Speakeasy and this was a pretty good time in our lives.
You can see how busy we kept:
- Band practices together
- Gig
- Other band event
I think that my journal is not totally accurate since October is sparse and without gigs and December seems light on practicing. Looking back, I wish we kept a bit better record of what we were up to but I guess we never thought we would get old

my shrinking beach music completed
<<this was my opus – a very intense and complicated song to play because of all the parts, this was accenutated by the song only being a couple minutes long so you had to stay on your toes – not a lot of time to get comfortable. Mys Shrinking Beach is on the
Speakeasy Myspace Page.>>
