And The Band Plays On

two of my neighbors now apparantly have bands...i had suspected that there was at least one, but confimed this last week, that there were actually two...i had suspected this due to the occasional bass thump which was happening from time to time over the last couple of months...it was really loud last weekend which caused me to go investigate the source...found out that our nearest neighbor, who is over 1/4 mile away does in fact have a band which is practicing on the weekend in his house....his house, which is basicly a steel shell, makes a pretty good boom box, at least at the lower frequencies...he has agreed to keep his windows closed when they practice, which has helped quite a bit, though it still carries pretty well...i listened in for a while, and they are ok, though the poor accoustics of the building makes it hard to be certain....another neighbor about 1/2 mile away also has a band which i can hear, though not as clearly...i am invited to hear them next time they practice, and am curious to find out if they are any good...i was amazed to discover just how far bass will carry, and am glad we don't live any closer than we do...heh.
