Brocco · October 2022

It was great to get together and run through these tracks. Worth noting for anyone who gives the videos a watch who wasn't there that we did not mic up the amps, etc.

@onlyonebradders - many thanks for capturing these performances.

roberty · October 2022

Crazed_Fandango · October 2022

Thanks for doing these so quickly.

I was hidden quite nicely in the group photo.

bobblehat · October 2022

Thanks @onlyonebradders ;

Another great day !

Neilybob · October 2022

How long before the next one, no seriously?

A few of you mentioned you were in bands pre covid but not any more so I began wondering if we should make this more regular than once a year.

What do we think?

I’d be up for another one in 3-4 months time. I enjoy them, but need enough time to learn a few new songs each time otherwise they can be a bit repetitive (though better than playing the same set in a band every week).

Totally agree and that sounds like a perfect time frame so that's January-Feburary 2023.

So I guess we need to start up another spreadsheet. Calling spreadsheetman @stratman as you did a superb job last time.

Let's check whether it's definitely going ahead first, then I can start a new list of songs.

It just needs a keen person to start a new thread and get enough people to agree a date

These events only work when theres enough real musicians (singers, bassists and drummers) to cover the parts, theres always tons of guitarists available

I'm thinking it's time the Water Rats crew were reassembled.

You are a star!

Just a note that I'm going to delete the most of the previous spreadsheets up to the last one to clean up my Imgur pictures.

roberty · October 2022

@stratman3142 if you do it in google sheets it can be shared with everyone. Then we can see the live document and make our own edits. Happy to set this up

Perhaps that's the approach we should use for the next one. I wonder whether it might be better to just have one (or two) people doing the editing based on discussions on the thread, so we can keep track.

I wasn't sure whether everyone Excel which is why I used pictures last time.

@roberty if you want to set up something in Google sheets, do you want my Excel spreadsheet to use as a template? Or should I set it up. I've not used Google sheets before but had a quick look and it seems simple enough.

Totally agree regarding having one or two people editing the spreadsheet.

Brocco · October 2022

Believe we tried the google sheet approach fir the first jam at Factory and discovered that not everyone has/wants to install google drive, etc. We also found that engagement dropped in the discussion thread as those who had access updated the sheet but often didn't also post what they had input in the thread, which made it difficult for those without access to keep track of progress on the setlist. We quickly reverted to one person capturing everything posted in the thread in excel and posting periodic updates into the thread as @stratman3142 did so admirably last time.

Howdy, Stranger!
