The creative process

I am trying to get a blues band together. I am really new to the whole band thing. I think because I am such a novice that I haven't been tainted by any bad experiences. I still have an open mind.
Our band doesn't have a name yet. Our set list is 5 songs (so far). Our lineup is still pretty fluid. We haven't been able to get a consistent drummer. It is all very unstable.

The cool part is that it is still fun. It is a lot of work. It takes a lot of time to plan and get everybody to practice. One thing that is very cool is that we have a great practice space donated by the owner of Andrews Inc, thanks Vern! It does make things much simpler.

Our current lineup is Devin on lead guitar, Charles on bass, Matt on drums and myself on guitar and vocals. We had a great practice yesterday. It was very rewarding. Actually I had two practices yesterday. One with the band and the other with Devin and myself. We had to haul the gear over to Matt's house from our normal practice space. We were early so we jammed for about 35 minutes. It was sweet.

I put together some of my thoughts about the creative process at my other blog stevewdewitt.dyndns.info .
