Thanks guys!!

Things are rolling along with the band. I am down to 5 more songs to learn. Since the audition I've pretty much kept up a rate of learning 3 songs a week. Very motivating and fulfilling as I get these songs under my belt.

We had a gig scheduled on 9/23, but it was cancelled since the person that booked us left the organization and the new person decided they wanted a different band. We only found out by looking at the venue website!! Better than learning of it when you roll up to the gig :). Some very inconsiderate people out there.

Then last Friday we got great news that a place wanted us to play on 9/30! So the pressure is back on LOL.

The rest of the band are very enthusiastic and dedicated which is really great. After 3 months I still feel like the new guy...I'll probably always the the new guy. I'm much more relaxed now the I'm confident in my role in the band.

In the meantime I'm still gigging with my duo, which continues to be fun also.
