Marvin Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Try and get the kitchen finished. Sort a new panel for the bath...it's not had one for about 4 years now and the Mrs is getting a bit fed up with the 'open' look under the bath. And new shelves and storage for the kids rooms. Oh, and there's always stuff in the garden to sort out of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steantval Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I’m pretty certain that none of us will be here by 2918 😀😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christhammer666 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 most prob packing it to be honest. fed up with no one going to smaller gigs no matter how much you promote, that's not including the venues that think one facebook post a month is promoting a gig. Even if people do turn up promoters and venues thinking its fine to pay you pennies or a case of beer when they have basically done sod all. At 38 im getting to old for the sodding around and spending loads of money and recouping nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for a new band New Gear Throwing in the Towel Coming out of reclusion Getting Married Practicing more Let's talk About it. Blue Not so sure that I will still be up to gigging in 2918…! However, if in 2018 a new band or opportunities to gig further afield present themselves then that would be great. Failing that the main rock covers band should be putting in a few rehearsals to re-jig the set to suit the new singer (we have been too busy since he joined, so for the last few months he has been singing 3/4 of a set that was built around a guy with a different type of voice). It would also be nice if the side project blues band with a few of my best mates comes together, but a lot of that will depend on whether the singer has really still got the confidence to do it properly having had some serious problems with his voice a couple of years ago. I have also got to learn a set for a scratch band backing a guitar player from the south of England for a blues festival in the summer. Gear wise, I am looking to buy and sell a few things over the next few months to put together a nice lightweight ‘B’ rig. Beyond that I will be trying to stay married and maybe see a few places I haven’t been before in the next year or so… Edited January 1, 2018 by peteb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Gawd. No idea. Bunch of wishful thinking: Sell some basses. Sell some more basses. Finish the f*cking album. Get a gigging band together, if I can find a drummer with no major mental health issues. Getting to the point that actual ability's looking like a distant second place.

Bluewine Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 I was thinking about trying to find a girlfriend. But at 64, I don't think it's realistic. To stuck in NY ways. Lol Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
project_c Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 1. Get through the giant mountain of work looming over me without losing my mind 2. Sell my house 4. Go to more jazz jams 5. Stress about the inevitability of having to have a child before I'm too old and have no energy left to be a dad 6. Put one of my cats on a diet, she is massive and looks like a giant gerbil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Blue I doubt that - there is always a bit of give and take needed of course but there is always single gals out there who have already had their families and just looking for a bit of decent company and someone who is fun to be around. However, you do have to be a bit realistic and start looking at women in their forties rather than their twenties! Having said that, in the band I am in both the drummer (50) and the singer (57) have both recently had kids by women much younger than they are - in the singer's case, more than 30 years younger...!

josie Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Get good at walking basslines. Learn to play from a score. Help my band get through its current near-terminal meltdown. Do well in my MSc course. Live on no money because until I finish said MSc course I'm unemployable. Grow and harvest decent crops of cherries, salad potatoes, and garlic, if nothing else. (That's a mixture of plans and hopes... As a dear Quaker friend used to say, "If you want to make G*d laugh, tell him your plans for the future".)
