Last tapes out of the oven

Great, after a day off, the Real World seems a lot brighter today, even with the rain we've had all weekend.

Ged arrived today and started running around getting very excited about playing all these old songs. Then we reminded him about Gabriel 3 and 4 being with out cymbals, he got a bit funny about that, as I heard Jerry marotta did when PG told him. It makes for very interesting playing, as a drummer you learn to play less - i think?

Almost finished the transfers and the baking. We took the last tapes out of the oven today. We've lost a 'I Don't Remember' and a 'Lay Your Hands...' tape, but I'm sure they will turn up.

David, Rich, Angie and Ged are running through without Mel today. Mel will come back on Wednesday when there is more development for her parts.

The lists of things to do are still getting longer right now (PG comes back tomorrow, so I'm sure they will get longer still, but all for the right reasons!) We need to get through this list as far as we can, so that next week we can look at the music we're currently working on, making a set-list of very old, medium old, new and brand new. RC
