Dreamwalkers: This Is Great Fun

Greetings to all my Dreamwalkers out there,

As the recording process gets ready to finish the rhythm section with Dave Ross on bass guitar, we are back to rehearsing, getting ready to play out. Tonight's rehearsal was such great fun. Miles Davis was purported to have said, "Music is the most fun you can have with your clothes on." Well, if he didn't say it, I would. The music was clicking and I just love playing with my bandmates, Debbie Stern, Tony Sheppard, Dave Ross, and Daniel (The Heartbeat) Polyak. 

We played mostly original tunes that will be on the album to stay sharp for it. We will be playing these when we play out anyway, so it was hitting two birds so to speak with one stone. Debbie's songs soar, and Tony's guitar playing was super. He was channeling his inner Jimmy Page on "Music Is The Ride" and "Magnetic North." Daniel is irrepressible, his great sense of humor and a gleam in his eye always ready to pop out. Dave Ross had some fun singing harmony, and I'm just hanging out in these incredible vibrations, making sure to stay on the beat and to remember what I've learned about singing. We ended the evening with a cover of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. This one is going to be fantastic. Tony was amazing as he played the Gilmour lead. Debbie, Dave, and I sang together with great gusto.

I can't wait until we play out. I've always felt that  for me, one gig was worth many rehearsals. I think we are going to spin heads when we play.

Songs: The Outsider, Good To See You Gone, Magnetic North, Something 'Bout That Boy, Music Is The Ride, How I Love To Love You, Road Song, Two Insomnias, Comfortably Numb.
