about the other night...
wow. saturday night was a really, really, really good thing. forget cassettes was absolutely amazing. it was almost as though they were too big for the room. i had chills the whole time... i just watched back the tape and salena did such a great job with it. there are some really cool parts on there, ecspecially the back and forth "ball of energy" =) and then that one ends with beth giving doni this secretive look. we should definatly send FC a copy, i bet they'd really like it.
on top of being amazingly talented FC were also extremely sweet. they are destined for fame. beth has this amazingly calm beauty. and the way they both fall into thier music. doni was like a machine.
i watched our set too. it was weird. that night i felt like i made 2 very critical mistakes because they both had to do with timing. one really did suck. that was puzzles and i had NO idea how off time i was... but with the other one... really actually with both, neither mistake really sounded that bad. they kinda blended. i mean i knew they were wrong but i don't think anyone who'd never heard them would have. my voice started off hellishly at the beginning. i should probably warm up my voice sometimes.
i dunno how but FC put me in this very happy carefree mood. i feel like we really did play a good show... i mean there were lots of elements on my part that need improvement. i've been trying new things. like from watching beth i'm just wondering about this now, it could have little or no bearing on the actual process... but, i was wondering if standing up to write my songs with the microphone would make a difference. i tried it a while. i'm definatly thinking i need to startpracticing my songs more by myself standing up and using the microphone.
i also tried some new tunings.
