Somewhat of a fickle crowd tonight, but a pretty good gig nonetheless. Things started out a little slow, but seemed to get wild in waves. A lot of "crowd participation" which included yelling in the mics, banging on the keyboard like a three-year-old, and tambourine shaking (both rhythmic and otherwise).
We tried a few new impromptu "never-played-together" tunes including "Stay With Me," "Let's Get It On," and Ken's favorite (insert sarcasm here), "Jump." They all went well. Like I've said before, I love spontaneity and being able to try new songs with these guys without rehearsing them first. Keeps me on my toes. Ken Deater also made his lead vocal debut on "Keep Your Hands To Yourself" and sounded great.
A good friend of mine and partner in Godparenthood, Ashley, came to see me play for the first time. It's always a lot of fun to see her and talk with her and I was glad she got a chance to hear Madison's Song. I think Flinchy even got her up and dancing once or twice. Get down girl, go 'head get down...
