Wow – the new arrangement went over great at Baba’s. I could see people were held by the tension. I should think about recording it this weekend – that sounds vague doesn’t it. It would be better if I had my drum kit back together and could cobble together a bass. Drums will have to wait – the music room is too crazy but maybe I can find a bassist.
Disability Support Blues went over well. That is a triplets groove song – too fast or too slow and it bombs.
The next two “Is Your Love in Vain” and “Your Song” suffered from the proximity effect – two finger style ballads with string accompaniment lulling people to sleep. Robert Arsenault used to insist in the band Expecting Rain – one ballad per set of 8 songs. He knows.
