My showcase show is a week away!  Come see me play live! November 3rd @7pm, Music Cafe in Damascus, MD.

"Rehearsing Songs" is a somewhat new and strange concept to me.  Years and years (and years) ago, I was in a band, and we largely covered Top 40 songs.  In the years since, I've written and recorded a lot of music, but the idea of playing them live was abstract to me.  Hell, I titled my first solo album 'icantplaythislive'. I've written, recorded, and moved on.  Now I'm going back and learningmy own songs.  Strange days, these.

Speaking of which, I have my setlist narrowed down.  It's largely solo stuff, but I do have a Pot Roast song in there.  Trouble is, a lot of our band stuff really needs at least 2 guitars to work, or I need a lot more practice to pull off.  Now I'm trying to work on how to 'banter' betwixt my odd songs.

Cranq-mas!  Rx-Mas is coming!  Rob and I are already planning “The 12 Days of Cranq-mas” Carol.  We've received some great ideas, but we could use more!  What do you think should be the 12 gifts of Cranq-mas?  Just submit your gift idea in official “12 Days” format (5 golden rings, 2 turtle doves…) to the Really Good Ask Box.  You can submit an entire list, or just ideas for individual days.

Happy Sunday!
