Another WWB Reunion

Yesterday the White Water Band gathered again in Spruce Pine for our third meeting in a little over a year. We spent the afternoon making music, laughing, sharing some pizza and hot wings. Thinking that we would like to do a gig together again, we had picked a group of five songs to work on—"Thunder & Lightning," "Jamboree," "The Jaws of Modern Romance," "She's a Wild One" and "Best I've Ever Seen." We started around 2:00 and worked pretty hard for the next four hours, and by the time we had to stop, the songs sounded darn good. I was so pleased that I celebrated by pouring water all over myself (like a Gatorade shower at the end of a football game).

We're thinking that a gig or two in the fall might be possible. Before then, we'll have at least a couple more of these gatherings. The plan is to have, by the time we're done, a set list that includes the songs above plus "Genesis Road," "Homecoming," "Fresh Horses," "Dizzy from the Distance," "None but the Lonely Heart" and "Landscapes."
