Brief detour from reminiscing ...

[Bob Barrows]

... much as I love hearing about the old days.  

Have you started rehearsing with Whippersnapper yet? I can tell you news of the reunion was met with joy in these parts. Has the "chemistry" among you rekindled yet, or are you still in the stage of trying to nail down the songs? As a non-musician, I've always wondered how that works. Do you simply start jamming until eventually an arrangement everyone likes develops ("ooh, that's nice - let's keep that bit!" "that line doesn't really work, does it")? or does one of you act as the arranger of a song and guide the rehearsals in that direction?

Will Lazarus remain a going concern?

lax will remain a going concern, arrangements are part jam, part ideas from members and part inspired happenings. the honeing of the stuff is what takes an enormous ammount of time for a group like whippersnapper, the repution it garnered was the fruits of weeks of rehearsal , sometime a wee,k one just one song! getting to that stage of perfection with the timeing, will be hard for us to replicate, now that we are not a regular band ,and the time we can all give to the project is limited.
