8 January - First Rehearsal

Our first practice session of 2025 was yesterday evening. It was good to be together again, and we had fun narrowing down which new songs to get ready for the February show. I brought a pleasantly trimmed-down set of gear along: my Telecaster, the three-pedal board, and my little five-watt tweed amp. Wonderfully simple.

We've decided for now to keep the show in its current form: Mistress Miriam out front, with Rachael and yours truly as a supporting string section, sans drums. One advantage of not having a drummer is that we can practice and perform at a volume that's quite a bit lower than when someone was behind the kit. Don't worry, we still make a sound that fills the room. We hope you'll come out this year and hear for yourself.
