Ode to St. Andrews

The question:
- What do you get when you mix:

-the urge to jam
-musical instruments
-an empty classroom

The answer:
St. Andrews College

Yes, the college of St. Andrews has been very good to me for the past 6 months. Whenever I had to vent anger, had the urge to play guitar, or just had free time, I would come down to the college to express my musical side. It is the the perfect oppurtunity to jam ...one which you can pretty much have the freedom to play as loud as you want for as long as you want...
But St. Andrews really cannot be understood without mentioning one person who basically makes it all happen. This person of which I speak is Evan. He is a maintenance / resident / student at the college. St. Andrews is his life. The fact that he is all of these things, means that he does have the key to the classroom in which we jam in. So in short, if it weren't for him we would not have this kick-butt room.
During the summer I went to the college pretty much everyday to jam with Alex (who actually introduced me to the college), Sean, and Evan. We had a good time, getting to know each other's styles and tried to create a sound of our own.
Sadly though, since school has started it has been less frequent. We still do have a time that works for all 4 of us. So every Friday after 10 we jam till we're too tired too jam any more. Lately though, Sean and Alex have been extra busy, so It's been just been Evan and myself.

Next year, Evan will be moving back to Edmonton, which means that the classroom maybe be unusable. Although this would end the use of the classroom, the legend of St. Andrews will live on.
