Quick Before Sinking (11.15.07 @ Java Bliss)

The guys were awesome last night! The entire show was fantastic, even with the few flubs in there. They did "I've Just Seen Her Face" without even rehearsing it first and it was great! My dad really liked Adam's orginals, but how could you not? They're just too talented! I feel so blessed to know these guys and to have the opportunity to just listen to the great music that happens when they get together. Sorry the pictures kind of suck, new camera, poor flash. I'll do better next time! (And yes, it kind of bugs me that they aren't all the same size. But I'll be late for work if I fix 'em.)
Here's a couple shots of Quick Before Sinking performing: from lef to right: Dave on electric, Adam on acoustic and vocals, Scott on drums and Mark on bass. (I can't believe he still doesn't have a blog!)






















Dave's awesome pink paisley guitar! It takes a very secure man with amazing guitar skills to pull of that fine instrument!















Three out of four of the band wives and a band daughter (Adrianne-Mark's wife, Jess-Adam's wife, Gwyneth-one of Adam's daughters and Me-the drummer's gal). Has it occured to anyone that the guys of QBS all have daughters? Kind of a neat coincidence!








Elissa's girls (Abby, Ella & Sophie) thought Wayne was a playground. The picture of Elissa and I was too dark to post. :[










Scott's mom, Leslie came by for a while to listen to her awesome son play a few songs.












My mom and dad both came to the show too! I thought that was pretty awesome!





























I just liked the lid on Scott's root beer.

My dad and I have been tossing around ideas for what song we want to dance to for our father-daughter dance at the wedding (which, by the way, is only 41 days away.) A few weeks ago he tossed out a song that really surprised me, "All You Need Is Love" by the greatest band to ever walk this beautiful planet. Little did he know that from the first time I seriously thought of my wedding and the songs I'd dance to, that was the one I wanted for us. From as early as I could remember, my dad would play Beatles records (yes, those big black things) for me and I grew to love their music and the message that song conveyed. Minor problem though, as great as the Beatles were, they wrote the song in a very strange time signature that goes between 4/4, 3/4 and who knows what else, which makes it a tricky song to dance to. My dad is a very talented man in many areas, but dancing is not one of them.
I guess what I'm trying to get at is, are there any musicians or dancers out there that have any suggestions. I already asked Scott if it'd be hard to play the song in a straight 4 and he said it'd take a lot of rehearsal and probably wouldn't really be worth the effort. Any suggestions about how to make this song work? Or maybe suggestions for songs that wouldn't be so troublesome, but aren't your standard father-daughter songs that everyone uses? Any opinions would help! :]
