Monday May 10th

So the first weekend just wrapped up. We successfully recorded a cover of "Train In Vain (Stand By Me" originally done by The Clash. We stayed true to the form of the original song, but we did expand by altering the guitar strumming, adding more percussion as well as adding back-up vocals at times. It took about 4-5 hours to do, which Mr. Farmer seemed to feel was very quick to do one song, especially since we had never done it before. But this also leads to an adjustment of our goals: doing three songs in one weekend is probably too much, and we should set our goal to be one song per weekend.

So today we began practicing next weekends song, an original which we played for Mr. Farmer (in an abbreviated manner, and he compared it to an old Kings of Leon song). So we are practicing that and that is pretty much our entire day.
