One of them wants to have a meeting to discuss the performance after it is over, fine with me and yet I don’t seem to be able to get it across that the mark is based on the rehearsals not the 30 minutes on stage. Like picking musicians to tour with. I wouldn’t ask someone primarily because of musicianship, the main factor would be personality: showing up, taking criticism, making suggestions, helping lift things. Yesterday last class. I’m lax about the 9am start time. They live far away, come from Scarborough, Markham and Mississauga, using combinations of buses and subway. My job to oversee rehearsals. I let it reveal itself without trying to control much except for the fact I tried to persuade them toward writing original songs, I failed, it is all covers. If the same songs are rehearsed 40 times a lot happens from familiarity. They sound as good as anything on the Junos. The sequence reflects their mutual taste, as mutual as any randomly throw together group of people can be. They perform tonight Saturday at 10:00 at the Tranzac.
