Last Night at Band Camp...

We got a little bit of a late start seeing as we seemed to have an important birthday to celebrate (who is this "bossman?").

We all picked songs we sang for our warm-up. And as we are preparing for the 2011 schedule with gigs ranging from an hour to four, we've begun to make our choices from some songs we haven't played in quite some time.

We started with Would Be Blue an original I wrote back in the Sweet Militia days—one that the Mittys have revisited with a funk-flavor. We did this one last week but I wanted to nail it as I'd like to use it in January at our gig at Snowzee's.

Next up was Sonia with Tear My Stillhouse Down. For a song we haven't visited in some time, this came out well.

Jericho was next with Paul on lead vocals. This is a song we kept on most if not all of our set lists for 2010—so, it came naturally.

Last was Sea of Heartbreak, another song in constant rotation during 2010—it was flawless. Jim on lead vocals, here.

Then we began the "new song" section of the rehearsal starting with our new take on Dylan's Don't Think Twice It's Alright via Mike Ness' (of Social Distortion) version. I can now officially say, we have moved from that version as an influence to one that is 100% Walter Mittys.

Then we did a take of Get Rhythm. We had prepared this for our October show at Snowzee's but ran out of time so didn't perform it. We're working on a new ending—which you may or may not get to hear next year.

We wrapped up the evening with a brand new song for Paul in the Big Joe Turner classic Flip, Flop and Fly—this song is going to be a "blues-rocker" if this early take is any indication—looking forward to fleshing this one out!

Well, that's it for Last Night at Band Camp...
