Tim and I kicked ass all over the place. We still remember that first song and worked out "Too Much Gin" to the inth degree today. We practice sparingly, and sometimes it takes us a little bit to get rolling, but once we click, we're cooking with gas.
Tim got pads for all of his drums and cymbals so we won't have to worry about Rocky from now on. My hands were a little too chilly today to really explore the music but we made some serious head-way. Work out the bare bones, get Tim comfortable within the tempo and structure, and then worry about my own ego.
Words and melody have yet to be composed for the first song, but "Too Much Gin" is in its constructive state. I think it will be all verses and no choruses. The main riff and chords will serve nicely as the main feature. Bring all the words back to that, not vice versa as is usually done.

So I lied.
