looking for the heart of Saturday night...or Thursday or Friday for that matter!

Yesterday was St. Bob's birthday. It was fitting that we played at Infinity Music Hall - and closed the open mic evening off with a Dylan set including "All Along the Watchtower," "Don't Think Twice Its Alright," Everything Is Broken" and "Buckets of Rain." I even won two tickets to a concert knowing certain Dylan trivia!


Two things hit me in spades as we played. The first is it is time for me to up my game with practice again. I totally botched the intro to "Switching on the Lights" in ways that were humbling. I knew this realization was coming re: practice but I need to spend time woodshedding just as much as "Famous Before We're Dead" needs time to hone our craft. Second, it is just too much fun to play the songs we're working on.They are beautiful, challenging, insightful and engaging. What's more, the small crowd received them well. So, we're on the right track. Next week will be a marathon of practice - and well it should be. 

If you are in the area and can join us, please come on down to the Infinity Music Hall in Norfolk, CT at 8 pm. It is free - and will be a gas. We can use all the help we can muster and it would be fun to see you as we try to kick this up a notch.
