Greetings,
The following tracks from yesterday's rehearsal include 2 songs we played for the first time - "The Plank" and "Rhiannon."
"The Plank" (by "The Devil Makes Three") is a fun composition whose "development" you can track by listening to all three takes. Or, you cut to the chase and just listen to Take 3. https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-lists/my-favorite-saturday-night-live-sketch-119386/recording-session-more-cowbell-121088/)
Stevie Nicks' "Rhiannon" is a song that relies on spirit, and spirit is hard to achieve on "first take." That said, you can hear and "feel" spirit manifesting as this track progresses. "Rhiannon" will be a good one!
"Susie Q" was the only song from yesterday's rehearsal that guitarist Mark Roshelli had time to play on. There is superb guitar work on this track.
"My Girl" exhibits two weak "entry points" but I see how to remedy both. Expanded back-up vocals on this Temptations' classic are a great enhancement.
"19 Miles From Davis" plays at "Nash Street Tavern" on Friday, August 10th.
And we are currently setting a mid-August date to play on the lawn at El Restaurante Ixtapa where circumstances forced cancellation of our July 27th concert. I will keep you posted.
Also, it is starting to look like our "Oaxaca Tour" will take place in the first half of March, 2019.
If you want to discover (or re-discover) one of the world's most beautiful and creative cities (and regions), you can glimpse Oaxaca's extraordinary society and culture at http://pajarosnieve.blogspot.com/
Go ahead! Change your life!
Finally, "19" now has enough self-composed songs to record an entire album. We plan to begin this project by year's end.

Song starts at 2 minute mark.
(There's great guitar work in this recording.)
