Alright! It's about time that I started one of these things. And before I begin with my very first blog post thing ever! I must say that I've never done this before. I still struggle to find the difference between a blog and a scrapbook. BUT! I don't care. I'm doing this anyway! And it's going to be very long and probably very annoying!
And to kick this blog off, I had my first Jam Session with a few other instrumentalists and singers last Wednesday.
I'm unsure of how many of you remember me talking about making my own band and everything, but whether you remember now or not, now you know.

I'm not totally awesomely fantastically good yet, let me just say now. I only know a handful of songs on the guitar and only one or two (fully) on the piano. And don't ask about the violin. The only thing I'm actually good at is the clarinet but I'm not going to play the clarinet in a band. So coming into this Jam Session, I'm not the best. I'm hardly even decent. But let me explain how things went down.
I came early. I always do. It's a habit I get from my dad. I bring my guitar, unaware they had plenty of guitars to spare. I sit down on the couch in front of the stage waiting for it to start. There are a few people already there getting...
