LEJ

Your outfit sounds like mine. We are an Irish band thats been around for 30 years. We are all withn 25 miles of each other and we devote one nite a week to rehearseal. Devote is the big word. We work 7 -9:30 every monday. One person is the practice master. He calls the tunes when we play as well. Of the five of us three have specific jobs. I am the historian and generally the arranger of tunes. The bass player, Jim, is the tune caller and practice master and Bill, is the front man and band spokesman and he also runs the book. When a new song is introduced the guy bringing in the tune also brings in the lyrics and a basic arrangement which I tweak or leave alone. Jim decides how much work it needs and when to call it in to the ply list. We all try to remember specific songs that were less than stellar in our last gig and we work on them in practice. We also tend to break up in thirds like you(LEJ) do.
