Progress for goodness sake!

Dave and I finally rehearsed some new stuff.

As you know, i've been writing lots of new stuff. So, since all that material's been kicking around, playing our old stuff has gotten, well, old. But Dave didn't want to rehearse new stuff until we had a way to record our practice sessions. You see, when we figure stuff out together, we often forget what we arranged. Maybe it's because Dave's tricky and maybe it's because my notes are less-than-intelligible, but in any case, it's frustrating.

So, one of our plans for our tax-return money is buying a field recorder, and one of the things we could do with the field recorder is record our rehearsals. Then we wouldn't forget what we did. Well, we'd still forget, but there'd be a record. And Dave could work out backing vocals on his own time. You know, like, while I'm at church or growing a vegetable or something.

Our plan was to wait until we got this field recorder. But our tax-return hasn't come yet. And I sometimes play guitar during the day. And Dave was home sick. And we rehearsed.

So, now we have two new Casey/AA songs in the pipeline and two new covers (KT Tunstall and Jars of Clay) in the pipeline. It's fun.

Well, we actually debuted one of the songs at our Autumn Leaves show, but no one was there so it doesn't count.

Recording is also finished for Green Both Ways. If you have a picture of the NYC subway system you'd like us to consider for the cover, please forward it to casey(dot)almostawake(at)gmail(dot)com.

The End.
