I’ve always wondered why Good Friday is called Good Friday!.......I mean getting flogged by several unforgiving Romans, given a crown of thorns....losing a trial ,then crucified and for good measure stabbed in the side with a whopping great sword is a great day at the office..........not. so on such a solemn day for us Catholics ...why is it called Good Friday? Replies appreciated.
Leaving our religious beliefs aside today is indeed a good Friday......I’m off work hurrah!!!!!!!!!!!a four-day long weekend! Wifey however .....bless .....trudged off to work which wasn’t so good. We are kind of hoping the neighbours are going away this weekend so we can crank up our PA. We need to be proficient in its use and we need a sound person/roady . Every live band I’ve seen at some point in the gig points the finger to the ceiling at their soundman to turn them up.........that is so Rock (Roack)and Roll.....I so want to do that. I’ve checked that next door’s car is here and yes unfortunately it looks like they are here for the weekend.....poooo! So candidates for our roady are being discussed in the Hot Machero household. SJ’s brother “The Chav” as she calls him....has shown some interest and he is good with sound wires and gadgets. The Chavster is into Eminem even younger than SJ he thinks he is Marshall Mathers himself. Could be fun to have the Chavster around....he’s a good kid there will be lot’s of blogging material to be written if he joins the team and the brother sister banter will no doubt also be a source of amusement either that or one of them will end up going through one of Dominic’s drums.
Watch this space on more news on the Chavster........
My own personal practice is going well ....the bridge in “into the deep “ is getting easier to play...”Linger” is a piece of pee and “Whistle for the choir” is pretty simple too. I have spoken to SJ and she is happy to do the “he he he Hey!..........ooooooOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOH” in “Don’t you forget about me” if I sing the rest. I think I can sing it and play it!!!!!?!?!?!??!?! SJ was telling me she practices her singing at work in the staff room. In go the I-Pod headphones and off she croons......there she was alone eyes shut hitting the chorus of into the deep “Fly brother fly” the staff room turned into the Hammersmith Apollo singing her heart out she turned to race across the stage so the other fans could see her and bumped straight into her boss...............The Apollo turned back into the staff room. “well I hope you meet your maker” she sang to him as he enquired after her state of mental stability.
Chippy this morning will be upset that his beloved spurs lost in the UEFA cup last night ...he did send me a text halfway through the match announcing that the referee was a twat! Dominic sent me a text confirming he was going to be at practice on Monday. His text messages are cool ....lots of in words like bro and safe .....maybe to enhance our Rock star image Wifey and I need to include them in our vocabulary*
Wifey has been working lates and hasn’t had a great deal of practice time but as the weather was nice yesterday she sat in the garden with her acoustic and whiled away a sunny afternoon before getting ready for work. This morning as stated she was up early and off to work again. Mini Machero are up and eating their cheesy toasties . I have had to stop them from playing “into the deep “ ....Rockstar on his little acoustic and Mini minx on drums. It was .............different but pleasing to see them following in their parent’s footsteps (playing instruments that is ....not playing badly.....well actually it could be said that as well !!!) Rock star jumped up and actually gave a quick burst of “sabre dance“ Wifey has been teaching him it and it was very good.. Well I’m off to do household chores.............more updates over the weekend...............much respect keep it real bro......safe!*
