I met with Ross today and I drummed while he strummed!!
It was all a bit awkward and bowel-tickling at first. My hands were shaking so much I could hardly hold a drumstick. We were obviously as nervous as each other, and when we started playing we were obviously as shit as each other as well!
But once we’d broken through the boundary of being strangers and being scared it became quite a good session. We’re both at a very similar stage in our musical development and it feels quite nice to have met up with someone on my level, rather than having to feel inadequate and overwhelmed every time I see someone else at the studio.
We’re going to do it again next week, and maybe come up with a couple of songs that we can both go off and practice for the week after.
I was buzzing when I got home. Philippa says she hasn’t heard me talking so enthusiastically about something for months. It was a bit of a ‘Rory Verbal Diarrhoea’ scenario, but I was just so proud of myself for having gone through with it, and so glad that Ross and I seemed to hit it off so well.
This could be the beginning of a beautiful something-or-other.
