The girls went to Cosmo to practise drums after school. After that, sushi dinner at Richlane then they went off to the local arena for Rock Jam, which is held every Friday from 7-9pm. Just a few kids and a music teacher, learning to play as a band and respect each other's views and talents.

Blondie were responsible for some great songs, and some great love songs in the late 70s/early 80s, Debbie Harry being the heartthrob for millions of teenage boys - and girls. This is one of my favourites from the album Parallel Lines,

Putting the Blondie piece after mentioning the girls' drum practice is actually very fitting. Blondie's Clem Burke was one of the great rock drummers of his era. Back in the early 80s, I was managing a new wave band in NYC that had a British front man. When I asked him why he moved to NYC rather than trying to get his career going in London, he said he was inspired by NYC musicians and the first name on his list was Clem Burke.
