aftermath



Well... our little group of musicians is really growing into something great right now. I am really happy with the way things are progressing. I played drums for the first time in..... hm.... let me think.....well at least four years. Thank God. I feel so much better back there than up front singing. I did sing though... just at the end, not in the main set. Actually almost all of us took lead at one point. This is what I mean when I say that I am happy with the way things are going. Everyone involved right now seems to be finding their place. I love that. And I can really feel a cohesion starting to bleed in. These are the regulars:
~Aaron on guitar, electric and mandolin. Also on vocals both lead and background (but he can't harmonize yet... have to work on that)
~Bridget taking lead and background vocals. (She is also the queen of harmonies. And she says funny things..... and has great timing) She is also trying to pick up mandolin.
~Robin on guitar and backup vocals. (I am still trying to coax her into taking lead sometime)
~Janaque on electric or acoustic and both lead and backup vocals (he also says funny things... and he is short which is funny in itself)
~Kyle  and Mark are doing sound and actually, and let me capitalize that for emphasis, ACTUALLY know what they are doing.
~And then there is me. I am generally lead, but not so much anymore (which in my book is a good thing) and today I was drums, which is.... super duper great! And, I think we are starting to come up with something of a sound that is ours. Heavy harmonies and acoustic driven music. yes......sound mumfordy to you?!? I think that, if things go the  way they are going, we just might be able to take this on the road sometime. That would be more than amazing.

happy
