I Had a Song Quote Title For This Entry, But I Forgot It

Wishes Really Do Come True!

At yesterday's rehearsal, we found out that one of the singers for the December 20th show has been eliminated (like American Idol or Survivor, I guess) and another is possibly going to be cut too. This cut five songs from the set, though one was added, leaving us with 18 songs. So at this point, what am I complaining about? (I'll find something, I'm sure.)

I have to admit, things have been going fairly well. I'm gradually getting to know all the songs and I thought rehearsal went pretty well for me yesterday. Even the one new song we did yesterday that I had never heard went okay, though I'm going to try some ideas I have for my part this week. We (well, really the bass player and Ant) came up a really cool arrangement for one "traditional" song that I think will surprise people. You will just have to come to the show to find out what it is.

Friday night we saw Buddy Guy at House of Blues. Now, you know how that was. What I want to talk about is his opening act, Tom Hambridge. Tom produced Buddy's latest, Skin Deep, as well as wrote or co-wrote most of the songs on the album. He's worked with people like Susan Tedeschi, Chuck Berry, Johnny Winter, Delbert McClinton, and others. People call him up and ask him to write songs for them and produce their records. Now that's the job I'm angling for! I'm planning on contacting him when I get a chance and seeing if he has any advice for li'l ole me.
