BEFORE STARTING UP the NEW BAND


….and before summervacations, some of the usual small tips; if you and your howlin friends are going to set up an orchestra-band-musicalprojectwiththeathre-globalmusicaidteam for the world…..or something else, what in the other end, maybe also, .....Í said maybe, gives you money in the pocket so you can go on eating big hamburgers saturdayafternoons.

First of all, to play together with instruments is one dimension of it, OK, it is good if you at least have seen your instrument before the first rehearsal - but there is another dimension,... talking without instruments, as a mother of fact, most people talk without musical instruments. They walk in the streets. Buy ice-cream. Nod to people who say something philosophycally interesting,.... and get angry if it´s a mess insulting comments.

Learn to talk. Less barking. You must have a plan, it´s about the culture in your band, the band is the miniature society – if you still are up to dogfighting, that´s it. If you can´t talk, have a pencil so you can write down your messages.
