No singer Bill again this time, due to a funeral. Everything worked well this time, apart from missing our lead singer. Two new songs for the group, Z Z Top's "Sharp Dressed Man" and Aerosmith's "Walk This Way", though some members had played them before. We also played through the string change song "Red House" with Andy on lead vocals, which went without a hitch as well.
Had the Ashbory working, but didn't actually use it on any songs. I'm going to have to experiment sooner or later, though.
Some talk about playing out, and when we're going to do it. Some discussion of hitting some open mikes to "test drive" ourselves in front of an audience, which isn't a bad idea. Consensus is that we may need to give Bill more time, primarily because he has a lot of lyrics to know. I know I wouldn't want to want to have to know the lyrics to 40 songs from memory.
I'm still amazed at the consistency of this group. At the very worst, a particular time through a song might lack energy. At best, a song will be really, really good, but we haven't quite hit that transcendent level for more than a few bars. It's still early in the process of getting to know each other, though.
