"Between The Swan And A Drive"
   by The Instant Album Party Band (MP3)

Drums, Vox:Aaron Quillen(Deastro)
 "I finally popped my Instant Album Party cherry at the fourth one back in April. This one that just happened was interesting because unlike the April one, there were a lot of people I didn't know. I wish more of the standards would have been there, however, this one was still a great time. The basement studio set up is perfect. I was more comfortable this time around, and thus performed better and feel even better about my band's particular song."

 "I think out of all my Instant Album party contributions (I've been to all of them), this song might be my favorite. Or maybe I think it was overall the most successful in the department of writing, musicianship, process, inclusion of a waltz section, etc. When we got to the basement the other 3 guys went straight for their default instruments, which helped me in choosing the one that was most appropriate to the group. There was a brief period of "so, what do you guys want to do?" which seems to usually happen at these things, but after Zach hit a chord or two on the keyboard I just said "let's go with that." The process was smooth & I had a lot of fun with those guys."

 "My experience with the Instant Album Party Band was a good one. I was happy to meet and connect with other musicians. It was especially gratifying to get to create music on the spur of the moment with new musicians with whom I'd not played before. It was challenging to compose and record a wholly new song in such a short amount of time. Although I feel like, musically, I probably could have contributed more to the group, I was pleased with the results and impressed with the skill, talent, and ideas of the other members. Thank you for including me in this process."

 "Dave and I agreed that these comments would fit best on these individual band pages. Since these pages are created using PHP, it was impossible to simply hard code the comments into the band pages. I suggested to Adam that it would be valuable to add a new column to the "song_participant_join" table by editing the information schema. Adam responded with a declaration that I was right, which is probably the first time he has ever said that. After running into some mild problems, we were able to add a "comments" column in the "song_participant_join" table, and you are reading them now."
