Becca singing her heart out despite her ace bandages and sore elbow

The band was hobbled last night at latitude 18, yet still manged to deliver a really fine show. Danny’s hand is still partially numb, (although getting better every day), Becca’s elbow was sore from “tennis elbow”, and Robert showed up with a bandage on his hand.

The spirit of the music carried the show, and the crowd was very appreciative. The vibe of the room always affects the band and the crowd was definitely on our side, so to speak ! The first set was a bit tentative, but by the second set the band had found it’s groove !!

The song ” House of the Rising Sun” got a big applause, and has become one of our showstopper pieces !! The 2 Stevie Wonder songs, as well as the jazz tunes also got nice rounds of  applause !

Yesterday was an exciting step forward for the band. We are beginning work  on our first studio recording ! We decided that it will be all original songs, and that Morgan Rael will act as the producer. He will work, with Zan llaneza, who will be the engineer, and of course will be coordinating with the band members and most importantly with Becca !

Our first session was less than thrilling ! We just went over 6 songs that we’ll be recording – there was some mix-up so the recording engineer was not there. At least we got the feel of playing in a small room with limited air ?? – not that we’re whining – it was still worthwhile.

Next we have to find the time to rehearse, and add some new cover tunes, so our fans don’t get tired of our repertoire – after all, it’s a small island.  We had a full house at Latitude 18 last Monday – and the band always gets hyped up from the energy flowing back and forth !
