The Band! Musa do Forro continues to Evolve!
Hi there!
Back again FAST!!!
Some things that might be interesting to read.
First of all, Thieny found an academia just up the street from the one she goes to now that charges only R$20 a MONTH! Her current place charges R$140!!! And the new one has a pool!
Also, the Vila Uniao Clube, which is a venue for bands has offered to let us rent the space..per night...for R$2000. Since Thieny has a "promoters" license, we could hire another couple of bands...either Forro or swingerao ( a faster style, mostly for dancing, not listening) and take home the difference.
We are not really interested because of the amount of work invbolved in guaranteeing that everything will fall into place and if it doesn't, then not making any money on the deal. There would be nothing in the deal that would guarantee we could find good bands willing to play for not much money. WE could play for that amount, but not all bands could.
Anyway, that's just one thing.
Our "Patrocina" (sponsor) Leide's mother passed away last Friday. We took Leide some flowers yesterday.
We were also in the studio for several hours yesterday and welcomed a new drummer who has previously played with another Forro band called Zanzibar, which has been around for a long time. He wants to stick with us and we are glad to have an experienced drummer, even though he's only 19! Almost everyone in the band is young, ranging from 19 to 25. We are replacing our keyboard player, the oldest member, because he has constantly tried to go against what we and the other members want. He nixed plans to play a couple of gigs that would have made money for us as owners and the band musicians.
We have another couple of weeks to finish polishing up our repertoire and train our dancers before another meeting with Leide about our future.
More later...

Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble
with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard
work due to no data backup. Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?
