Sunday in the park (with BCO)
Very exhausted from our little performance in Union Square Park this afternoon, but it went very well. I had to just jot out a few kudos here while I am still lucid enough to do so:Jesse, you sang the Leonard Cohen piece like a dream. Melissa, we missed you there but looking forward to your presence at the upcoming KFJC show this Saturday (hope you're having a great time in Maui, by the way!) Rob, we'll see you at the radio show, thanks for being there today, too. Peter, thanks for showing up with your camera and taking lots of interesting photos and video (can't wait to see those, especially the ones that you shot while blindfolded spinning around on the stage!)
dAS, Otis, wonderful job with supplying all of the beats, sounds and cues, not an easy task with this set, yeeeeep. Next time I promise I'll be a good little BCO player and bring a music stand so my sheet music doesn't go flying around in the wind *blush*. What was I thinking trying to weight it down with clothespins! Aye, I tell ya, you can't take me anywhere.
I'm still hearing the chorus to "Fixing A Hole" as I type this and "Theme to A Summer's Place" will probably haunt me in my sleep, but all-in-all, what a memorable experience today was. Maybe dAS might even let me rip an mp3 of one of the pieces to put up here for folks to listen to, wouldn't that be sweet! As soon as I get pics I'll post'em here.
If anyone's able to tune in this-coming Saturday, April 23rd, we'll be doing an extended version of this same set on the air at KFJC, simulcast via the 'net at kfjc.org from 3:00-6:00pm (PST)
