Too right!
2 minute bits (or less) are great, especially when you get them together with other folks bits and pieces.

I once had a band that met on Tuesday every week to stick together all the riffs that everyone had thought of since the last week.

This resulted in lots of 20 minute tunes, and was a fun process. The songs were real journeys, as you would imagine. We needed to find musical ways to get all the material together.

The Z seems like the perfect place to do something similar

btw, the band was 2 trumpets, tenor sax, tuba & drums, and we were called the Tuesday Welders, 20 years ago, in Adelaide, S.A.

I had a friend who used to brag that he had 50 finished songs. The problem was they all sounded like crap. It reminds me of a woman I met who thought something was wrong with me because I never got married. She had been married and was divorced. She said it is better to be divorced than not ever be married. Since when is having a miserable failure good?
