Hey Soul Mates,
just checking in with you on a busy Easter Sunday. I'm back from rehearsal. Thanks for driving, Bry.
We had a productive couple of hours packed in today. First we gathered here at my place for a session of playing through brand new material. We've got around 8 or 9 new songs; we managed to get through 3. Here's a scoop! 2 of them have titles: Next July & Everything My Heart Desires. Basically, Bryan and myself play guitars and Doug taps along. We demoed these songs to minidisc (sorry, no bootlegs, yet). They are still in rough stages. The arrangements and melodies are almost 100% now. Time to flesh out or flush out the words. I've mentioned this before, but I work towards a break-through. At that point lyrics come gushing out, til then, there are a lot of scratch vocals sung over the songs.
Then we drove over to the studio to rehearse with our full electric gear. That's always fun and challenging. Even though we play at the same place every week, the room never sounds the same twice. Having selected our set list for our upcoming show, we ran down the numbers and then worked a little on a newer song. The room was a little off tonight. Something in the power supply, I think. We did our best to cut through the dullness. Of course, by the end of the night, we'd built up a pretty good bit of steam. We spent a lot of time on A Talent For Loving, which we debuted at our last show. I'm still working out the kinks and I'm glad to get to play it several times in a row.
Well, that's Sunday. Have a great week everyone.
Love, Power, Peace.
