Oh! I do like to be beside the seaside

I want to sing country. Is that weird? It gives me something to do anyway, until I get bored. It would be better if I could play guitar better than I do now, but oh well.

(For reference, when I say country, I refer to bluegrass, folk, roots and traditional music, influenced by a good dollop of jazz and blues).


(I know I didn't need to add that last bracket sentence, but I think the term 'country' is a little simplistic, and I always get the feeling that people look down upon it, thus finding it necessary to justify myself when I talk about liking it, which I do, I like it lots, except for songs like 'Sunny side' which are saccharine sweet and make me cringe a little, or laugh).

Yay! for writing music. Boo! For not being able to come up with proper lyrics... grrrr.
Seeing as how I wrote the first half of the lyrics while being drunk on the beach, maybe I need to do the same to finish the second half. Maybe I'll take a visit to a beach sometime this week.

Damn, I wish I had more than one day off a week *frowns* Taking a trip down to a 'proper' beach (i.e. not a bay-beach) would be awesome cool. Of course, I can still do this, I have nothing on this friday, but I'd love to stay overnight, perhaps camp out on some remote (safe) beach. That would be so awesome, and I really really really want to, now. :( Alas.

And on a (semi) similar note, I have the awesomest name for a band, ever! 'The Famous Five and the Infamous One'. Now I need five people to join my band! XDDD (And yeah, I know only twerps come up with the band name before they actually -have- a band, so I guess I'm a twerp. :D)
