Title: Quarantine Sessions

My old bandmates and I were planning on meeting last weekend to track a few more songs for the album we've been slowly working on, but you know what happened to those plans... So we got our old drummer (from 1988) to play along and got our phones out to record one of our old songs. We have a bunch more in the pipeline now. Most fun I've had in ages! You guys should do the same (solo or otherwise) and let's see what everyone is up to.

Too cool! Me and two bandmates had a beer on video conference the other day. We did talk about jamming online, less prone to start fighting too!

That's great George! I would love to do something like this with one of my bands. So far all I've done is a karaoke cover of One Thing Leads to Another.  8)

Wow George, I love your voice, I didn't know libertarians with Mormon roots and a cross-dressing past (if only in your sleep ...) could sing!!! Ich bin beeindruckt, großartiger Power Pop. I'll even forgive you not playing a TBird.  ;)

Count Comrade Uwe in when you release a CD.

Nice. A bit of laid-back Eagles feel there. Am I seeing a Thunderbird not in a stand??

Very impressive!  They are advanced players for their young age. The time and instruments feel spot on.

Ilan, that was great! Is that their song or a cover?

Thank you, Uwe. It's been a crazy month, so I just saw this. That's very nice of you. We;ve done a few more of these but the only ones we finished so far don't include me playing bass, so I'll spare anyone here of those.  :mrgreen:

Ilan, that was great! I love seeing these being posted by so many people all over the world, from not well known kids and old guys like me, to guys like Neil Finn and sons, or Nick Lowe (and his maybe teenaged son) posting from their living room. I hope people keep doing these after the world has gone back to "normal."
