Cloudy days
It's kind of ironic that I'm making this post today as I didn't practice all day. I did some music related stuff on the computers like go through the band's songs and updated when we played them last, but nothing really significant.
On Wednesday, Jeff came over. We had lunch and then came back to my place to work on some of our new songs. His are good and will sound good whenever we get the band together. Unfortunately, I don't know when that will be. We were hoping to get another jam in before Thanksgiving, and then revive our Friday-after-Thanksgiving Thanksgigging, but we won't be able to do either. It's a bummer for me, because I like to have something to do on what's an otherwise lame-ass holiday weekend (Lori and I are going to see Arc Angels at House of Blues that Saturday, though).
I'm still working on the two-handed stuff as well as that jazz piece, but I've also added something else to the mix. I'm talking to a guy who has an R&B/Soul band about doing some gigs with them. They don't use keys on all their gigs, but he needs someone for the ones he does. So, I pulled out a book I have about different piano styles so I could learn some of that before I try to play with them. I don't know if it will help directly, but it's something else to learn.
