Where am I!? I've been lax!
I forgot to tell you about the thursday night rehearsal of the project! It was the first time since before Christmas, I think, that we've all been there! There's been several where we were only three, and the missing one has changed each time, but it's been a long time since there's been all four!
And the perfect attendance award goes to...(drum roll)...Morey!
Oh... Wait... It's his house. He has to be there.
Oh, well. We'll still give him the cheers.
Anyway, it was great fun. We worked on "Dancin' Their Lives Away", one of mine. Actually, that was the first time we've all played it together, too. Fun. We just kept running it until it all rocked. And we worked up one of Matt's called "We Get What We Want". It's this cool kinda theatrical power ballad about how what we get in life is want we put into it. We literally get what we ask for, even though it might not be what we think we're looking for.
Anyway, fun tune.
Then we revisited some old stuff, like "BookaMo", John's swing version of "Book of Mormon Stories". It was way rusty at first, but we got into the swing of it (pun intended).
Today, I got to go to our monthly Club Cubase meeting. That's always a lot of fun. Sometimes it's tough, what with family or work requirements, I get to go about once every 3-4 months.
I ran into Ron Hill there, aka "Laconic Funk". He'd just finished his CD, and he gave me a copy (autographed it, too!). I got to spin it on the way home. I'll probably review it over at my moboy blog, too. It was exciting for me to see him make the leap of faith to finish his mixes and put them out there. It's kinda scary, and I can sure relate!
