all this computerwork is kind of freaking me out. working on the ovotex, the ‘normal’ teaching stuff, the rpm-album, the website etc. wow! and the more i sit behind the screen the less i’m really playing. nah, that’s not complaining – i’m way more productive right now than i was ever before, i’m just beginning to drift away from really playing music. so i joined a network to find musicians in my area. i wonder if there’s someone willing to just jam. this might sound weird and maybe it’s a german problem (at least it seems typical…) but it’s kind of hard to find jammers here. they all want to make setlists and do gigs and demos and whatever else. don’t get me wrong, it’s good to have musicians who take music seriously and if you’re in a band it’s good to have a goal – but, hey, let’s not forget why we started making music in the first place: fun! tadaaa!

and one more thing, jamming is not just some stupid habit of killing time. it’s the no.1 thing to become tight as a band. there’s no better way of getting to know the guys you play with. so jamming is fun AND learning at the same time and that makes it really cool in my book!
