Here is the 2nd rehearsal at Sam's (and the second full band rehearsal). More of the same from the previous week- the group dynamic is improving every session. We start with one of Josh's tunes, which is now called "Drag Fred" and then move on to John's tune "Mud Sly'd". We then work on a tune which is heretofore untitled and shall remain so for the time being. Lots of work on the solo section again as well as the half-time section after the sax solo. We introduced the concept for Sam's solo. Where the previous solo had accompaniment that was specifically arranged down nearly to the note, Sam's section is freer and requires a good deal of communication among the members of the rhythm section. Planning to record a demo of some kind next week. I'm eager to get this group booked; we need a few shows before I have to skip town.
