"Juju cackles like Wooly Bully which is indescribable and was recorded by a bunch of guys who drove around in a hearse wearing turbans." I think everyone had some pretty good ideas in the recent  thread about the Bold Stumps plans for 2020. John is right that the thing I'm thinking about the most is the idea of a garage band. And I think that means some fun and not too serious. But to have a point of view. So make lists And narrow them down, yes. But ... openness and honor to the actual life and event of each song is crucial. When we used to play in the basement, which is the same as the garage, we would try and do things short and so explore a lot of songs that way. And so that calls for some precision. And certainly, Jay Geils was a band that had a lot of precision and fun, at the start – tho, after seeing their precision 3 times, I felt I’d seen them. It was like they weren't exploring - well not as much as when they started. So truth to the song in the mom...
