We did it!
Well, we finally did it. Last night was our long awaited show at Caffe Lena. We had a great crowd and played very well. I think it was a combination of excitement at finally headlining in a nice listening room, especially on that means so much to us, having such a warm and supportive audience, and having another person providing a different instrumentation. Whatever it was, last night was probably the best performance we’ve ever given. My grandson, T, videotaped most of the first set. Thank-you, T. I can’t wait to see it. Hopefully we can put a bit of it up on our site soon. Now the goal is to make a demo DVD so that the essence of our shows can, hopefully, get put across. We realized the other day that our music alone is not the heart of our performances, and how do you transmit that to someone who is just listening to a CD? This may be the answer. I think T is probably very good at this, so I’m excited to see the result. There were family members, old friends, new friends, and strangers there last night. Everyone were as wowed by our performance as we were. Thanks also to Dave Danks who played very well and added a new dimension and depth to our music. We just all had a blast, and it showed. I think we’ll keep playing with him occasionally and hopefully will get more gigs that warrant a third person. Maybe we’ll be The 3Ds.
