big pants has risen again

that's a double entendre there.

if you missed it.

so, big pants is back together, and we finally, finally have a drummer. his name is brett, he's from champaign, and i met him when wendell gee was out visiting. he went to central, but we won't hold that against him.

he's a good guy, solid drummer, and just as new to playing with a band as i am. he says he's seldom played with other people, but you'd never know that. he says he's never been on stage either, but i don't think he'll be shy when we do get a gig. speaking of which...

we have some gigs! some parties where we won't get paid, but still - actual gigs are on the horizon! i'm pumped.

here's what we're working on so far:

2 kenny wayne sheperd songs
trouble/the jayhawks
via chicago/wilco
the golden age/beck
just kissed my baby/the meters
what i got/sublime
ain't no sunshine/bill withers

any other suggestions?
