Tonight, the three of us made what may be one of our last trips to Cafe Europa. We've had fun playing there, but maybe it's time to move on. On the upside, though, Jack (the owner) had rearranged the layout, moving the piano over near the door, so we finally had a better real estate layout. The fire was going (man, was it ever -- I think I must have dropped a few pounds just from sweating to the heat), which actually caused Shahin a bit of problems trying to stay in tune.
Coming off the heels of an absolute kick butt rehearsal the night before, I had some pretty high hopes for this show. We got started a little clumsily, botching a few easier spots within the tunes, but then we fell into the groove. Some boo-boos here and there, but a pretty good show over all.
We also debuted the three new tunes tonight. Autobahn, The Chronicles of Robert Frost and Snipe Hunting were, for the most part, well received. Auto got the reaction we were hoping for, some head nodding, even a wee bit of dancing. I'm not really sure as to how Robert Frost went over -- it's a harder part of me, and I spent most of my time focusing on the fretboard so as to not chord the wrong notes. Snipe Hunting killed, though. Lots of good feedback on that tune.
And, speaking of feedback, during the set break, I wandered through the crowd, talking to some of the folks who were there. A number of them asked me if we had any CDs for sale. While I know that some of those requests were people simply being polite, I think some of the inquiries were genuine. As luck would have it, we're going into the studio in the next two months, so a CD will soon be available.
