Brett couldn't make it tonight, so Shahin and I sat down and tried to work our way through two new tunes.
We have a brand spankin' new one (with the ubiquitous working title of Mist). First off, we changed around some of the chord progressions to try and get away from our standard motif (vi->V->IV->iii) while staying within the rhumba feel. Then, we took the original B section and turned it into the D section (which will effectively function as a bridge). Finally, that one ends up in a frenetic finish that we could extend at will, assuming that there is a crowd that's into what we are playing (natch).
After an hour or so on that tune, we went through The Chronicles of Robert Frost a few times, just to make sure that we have the blocking down. I think that once we get settled, Robert is going to turn into one of our prettier songs.
