Power struggles are emerging between these birds as Jeckle pushes for perfection, Heckle refuses to play the same thing twice and Lucky limps around the nest still recovering from drumstick surgery. Jeckle pitched the Crows a new song tonight called, Longshot, which basically sums up our chances of being ready to take a stage, any stage, and pull off a successful show. Lucky posed an intriguing question, “Are you born with musical talent or do you develop it?” Research shows that musical ability can be obtained by repetition(10,000 times). We are definitely closing in on that number.  Rehearsal ended on a sour note, as Jeckle begged Heckle to take him with him, because evidently Lucky has been a bit fowl to live with during her surgical recovery. Lucky loudly reminded them that she had a shark-bite on her ass and then demanded that her name be changed to shark-bite. All’s well that ends well as the band parted amicably, vowing to find a word that rhymes with rhododendron. Look out Bristol, this band flies, as only a crow flies, your way in September.

Rehearsals continue even as she mends. Why? Because we care.
