Band Name?

Last year Phill (from college) and I started jamming together for a bit of fun. I've been playing the djimbe and Phil plays the guitar. We have gradually developed a distinctive style and were asked to play at a couple of functions and so wrote some of our own music, though we improvise a fair bit. So far we have about six songs, designed to be played mostly as background music.

This year has seen the inclusion of two new members to the group which has really allowed us to develop our 'sound'. We were all practicing together for the first time this afternoon and it was heaps of fun and is sounding really good. The next dilemma though is what to call the band... we are looking for something that will suit the funky, background, almost Middle Eastern sounding at times music... Any ideas???

Enroled

I'm now enroled for another semester at college. My subjects are Content & Setting of OT, Gospel Traditions, Hebrew (the language, not the book), and Principles of leadership & Management in Ministry. I'm really excited about this year, partly because I'll also be doing an internship with the Church I go to hear in Sydney, Bayside Community Church. I think it will be a challenging year, but also really good. Lectures start on Teusday the 14th.
