Countdown to Showtime!

Last Night at Band Camp...
With the holidays and other down time, it's been like three weeks since the Mittys made music together. Thus, rehearsal last night had some rough spots. Some real. Some perceived. All in all, the playback sounded good.

One more rehearsal til showtime next Friday night at Snowzee's in Sunderland.

Quite a few "new" songs. Some actual new—never heard by any audience before. Others "new" that haven't been on set lists for more than a year.

My fingers are sore. And my voice gave out on the last two songs. But that's "rust" from lack of rehearsal. We're gonna be in great shape next Friday.

I, for one, am looking forward to it. I hope you can be in the audience.
